Warts and all




Never let it be said that I only share the good things!
This is my first attempt at a sock........and it has instantly been christened "Dobby's sock" by the YFG, because that is what it reminds her of, from the Harry Potter stories.  It's a bit too long and pointy....


and my mattress stitch appears to leave room for improvement too.

But hey, I'm half way to a pair of serviceable bedsocks for myself, so I shall continue!

I love it - homemade socks are never meant to be perfect - just warm!

Are you joking? I think they look fantastic

Thanks for your kind comments! I'm going to try to knit the other one this week so that I have a pair for bedsocks in the cold weather. The photograph is obviously too flattering as the sock I have completed is quite comic in real life!!
