It was so nice to get together last night with my sewing friends near & far. Cheryll is so sweet to host this event monthly. If you go to Gone Stitchin' you will find a lot of fun things going on! As soon as I got the invitation, I knew what I was going to work on .... and I actually did what I was planning to do!
First up was to finish off my pair of knitted socks. Here's a picture of one, the other is soaking for blocking. I'll post a complete write-up when both are all pretty & blocked!
Since I knew that wouldn't take too terribly long, I ran down to my sewing space and finished sewing on the binding of Snowmen & Churches. All I had left to do was sew the two ends together and then sew down the last 10 or so inches. On to hand sewing the binding down! Yay!
That is fun-looking sock pattern - love the design! Isn't it great to be sewing some binding? I'll look forward to seeing that finish!
ReplyDeleteOh,love those fancy socks!
ReplyDeleteHappy hand stitching, Sue! That sock certainly turned out well. I have to say, I don't really get the purpose of blocking socks. I figure that's what my feet are for!
ReplyDeleteOoh, gorgeous socks! Good luck with your UFO!
ReplyDeleteOh I love your socks - they look very cosy :-) Nice also to get onto the final part of a quilt. Sadly my PHD projects haven't been particularly successful this year.
ReplyDeleteYou did have a busy evening :-), nice socks,
