Can I just remind you that I have made one item for myself this year? I finished off a pair of socks that I started last year. Starting to feel like I'm on a treadmill which is not good when this is supposed to be a hobby. Contrarily, I don't really mind and the peeps I make these things for are always delighted and that's nice.
So, updating on the Sock Front.
I ran out of wool for Thomas's socks. (Yes, I've decided they're for Thomas).
The phrase we are looking for here is, "Bum". So, I raked through the orphan box and found these two.
(Poo - Blurry pic). So I spent the next hour 'cutting and pasting' coloured sections to do a rough match, to finish it off.
Not bad, but not as good as the match I did on a pair of socks for Neice No 1. That was invisible. This looks looks like a grubby toe. And I did manage to drop them in my Weetabix the following morning. Don't ask.
Here's the start of a pair of socks for my friend Liz. I think she'll like them.

I would have said something (or many somethings) a lot stronger than "bum". =D
Excellant retrieval!
I'd still have been stuck in the swearing phase;o)
most impressed with your sock retreival. I'm taking notes as I think I may run out of yarn on the pair I'm knitting for Hubby!
Love the colour of the purple yarn
