Crazy weather and socks

The weather the last few days has been more like Queensland weather than Victorian 

The days have been warm and sunny, and humid. And then in the afternoon the thunder starts 

The sun goes away, the temperature drops and it rains. 

Not that I’m complaining. It’s lovely drying weather and then it’s perfect for garden’s weather 

Not having to water is a big plus. 

The downside is it’s too hot to crochet that wool blanket. It’s now a decent size and very warm indeed 

So I’ve switched to a small project. Socks. 

I bought this yarn on line. It looks so pretty. Christmas colours and some sparkle 

But it’s not nice at all. It’s way too scratchy for socks. Although that’s what it was sold as 

So I’m trying a new way of knitting socks to use it up 

You knit it flat in this shape and then sew it up to form a sock. 



I think I’ll just use up the yarn making these and then I’ll sew them up. Fill them with chocolate and give them away as gifts 

Not going to put pressure on myself to finish for this Christmas. They can be a long term project for next year. 

I’m even thinking of making things durning the year and having a Christmas market stall to see if I can make some pocket money 

To spend on, you guessed it. More yarn. Lol 

Anyway I’m currently sitting outside, hubby has finished mowing all the lawns. They were very long and shaggy 

And I can hear the thunder,and the start of rain on the tin roof. 

Enjoying the coolness after a busy day
