My Creative Space

It's been a chocolate cake sort of day ...


Children at home ill and I'm feeling a little bit homesick, so made a very chocolately choccie cake, with a very high dose of cocoa in the real butter, butter icing.  Yummy!  Funny, now we're all feeling better ...



And look at this - my dpn crisis could be over - I'm actually doing it - knitting on 5 needles!  Yes, there are a few odd stitches here and there, but I will wear these socks proudly and everytime I see the little holes I will be reminded that I didn't give up.  And the great thing is according to all the sock experts I aspire to be, the more you practice the less holes you make!  AND apparently there's nothing quite like a handmade sock - I shall persevere!!

Look at some more lovely creations here.

You busy bee. The cake looks lovely, and I'm very impressed with the sock, it looks so complicated!

Tiene que ser complicado hacer calcetines, nunca he intentado hacer unos.
Un saludo.

Wow - I'm intimidated by the thought of crocheting socks either on dpns or circular needles. Good luck with yours - looking good so far!

Gracias Susana - and thank you Chris and Fiona! Will be a while before the socks are finished, but they're looking OK!
