Green, green, green, YELLOW!!
Green, YELLOW!!
Green, YELLOW!!
Green, green, green, YELLOW!!
Over the last couple of weeks, including some time away, a pair of socks have been taking shape. While the knitting can have it's rather surprising moments (the appearance of YELLOW(!!) in between those lovely greens can be a tad frightening at times), I think the finished result is quite pleasing.* Fortunately!
I've just started sock number 2, which I think I'd like to get finished by the end of February. That should give me enough space to work on other projects, too...
I'm hoping to have a satisfying and productive creative space this year, with a focus on the process rather than the outcome, though it will be nice to finish a few things, too! Of course, I have a long list of things I'd like to make, so it will be interesting to see how long it takes to get overwhelmed by outcomes and the process gets relegated to a requirement rather than a pleasure...
To visit the creative spaces of other more or less idealistic and optimistic crafters, many of whom will actually succeed in making what they say they want to (how novel!), go here.
*Except for the unfortunate 'Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi, Oi, Oi!' parochial factor, but we can look past that for now...

I hadn't even CLOCKED the Oi Oi Oi factor. 'Til you said. You should have posted your lovely sock venture on Australia Day, love...
Oh. My. Lord. They are beautiful! The speckledy (it is so a word :-P) bits are gorgeous. My Monkeys are boring in comparison, I want some like yours.....maybe I'll just have to cast on another pair!
