Mourning for my socks

All I will say is toddlers and yarn do not mix. Behold the evidence:

The picture does not do justice to the knots and filth that were created as Little One went ruining through the house dragging it along the laminate (not that my laminate is that filthy but dust gathers you know?!).

We should all take a moment of silence as the yarn is deposited in the bin and comfort the lone sock that remains never to be matched.

Needless to say, said child is now in time out.

1 Sock Down....

.... and 1 more to go. Luckily my knit pro nova tips arrived this morning just in time for me casting on the second sock. Not going to take pictures until I have finished the pair. Really please with how the first one has turned out despite the heel gusset being a bit ropey. Hopefully I can tighten it up on second sock. The colours are cool and the sock fits me perfect which is always nice :o)

And I've decided to give birdie a reprieve. As i've only got his wings and eyes to go it seems a waste to try and pass on what I've already done. I am going to let him rest in the knitting bag until I've finished the second sock and then I will pull him out again.

And the tank top for the Little One is coming along nicely. As I am at a stage of knitting x amoutn of inches in stocking stitch in the round I am keeping it as my out and about project and it's small enough to fit in my handbag so that's handy.

The Relic audiobook by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston is highly addictive so I have being doing housework without complaint so I can listen to it. But now it's time to settle down with Relic and my sock and some hot chocolate. Bliss!
