Embroidery


Today was day of rest/relaxation - well, at least the morning was. And here's the results.

First Christmas gift made. And this is quite a green gift - the off white was my neighbor's curtains and the black is a dish towel! Buttons were in the button drawer already.

The Sock Knitting Machine!







Well, here it is if you can pick it out from all the junk around it! And yes, there really is quite a learning curve with these little gadgets. But I have been able to produce my first PAIR of socks on it. These are a hung hemmed 5x1 mock rib. The pink was the first real sock and it is on the 54 cylinder, 2x1 rib. I see lots of socks in my future!
PS It's totally your imagination that the legs are that white.
