I'm making progress on the dragon socks. I redid the heel because I'd put it on the opposite side from where I want it - I want a whole dragon to show on the top of the foot.
I didn't write yesterday because we had traipsed off to a non-existent yarn festival. Non-existent because it takes place in March, not February! Daft isn't the word for me. I have duly amended the post I wrote last week about the upcoming festival.
Two of the little ducks are looking unhappy this morning. Jack has given them a dose of antibiotic, so I hope that will do the trick in making them feel better.
Hopefully it wasn't too much of a drive and you were able to get some other important stuff done on this preview trip :) Looks like he will line up nicely now. They are so sweet hopefully the antibiotics will help they have such tiny bodies.
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be feeling better so that's good. It was 270 kms, nothing else to do, but we enjoyed the drive. We came back by a different route so that we could see a different bit of countryside.
DeleteI love the black and red dragons together! I agree with having the dragon on the front of your foot. How often do we admire our heels? At least you were a month too early, and not a month too late!
ReplyDeletePoor little ducks, I hope they get better soon. The socks are looking great - does the fairisle make them difficult to put on? - with all the stranding on the inside ?- or are you also knitting these inside out and upside down?
ReplyDeleteYes, inside out and upside down! I've just tried them on to make sure they go on in spite of the stranding.
Delete...wow complicate pattern...will lead someone to fly while walking ;))... Gbest wishes Guni
ReplyDeleteI can't knit socks, so socks with a pattern--wow--and dragons, too....! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the dragon socks. You must have the coolest sock wardrobe. Does it make you want to wear shorts in the winter so you can show off your socks?
ReplyDelete:-) And freeze my knees? I'll send these ones to my niece in England, I probably have enough socks in my wardrobe.
DeleteAwesome dragon socks!! :)
ReplyDeleteHope the little ducks get better soon!!
Cool !
ReplyDeleteBut with all the gymnastics (of knitting like you are doing), it looks tremendously complicated & out of my league (or at least patience) ;-P
Happy are going to be the feet that wear these. Jane !
Lovely patterned socks, you will soon have a pair for every day of the week!
