Okay, so it’s only my handbag knitting and they weren’t exactly complex, but I finished my Zebra socks 🙂 and amazingly they are my first knitting finish of the year!
Toasty warm in real wool – just what’s needed in this weather.
Just one question: Should I buy myself a pair of red shoes and rename them Wicked Witch of the East?
Thanks for dropping by!
Hoorah for your first knitting finish of 2018. I love a good witch sock. Long ago, before you and I were blogging friends, I unwittingly made some Witchipoo socks and I love them to death (here if you fancy a look https://thetialys.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/witchipoo-sock-syndrome/ )

good job on the finish! I have not yet finished any knitting this year, because I refuse to count one sock, or one square of seven for the Durrow shawl. I am almost to the heel on sock number 2… so miles behind you.
And yes, red shoes are de rigeur with these socks. 🙂 Glad they are keeping your feet warm in the chilly weather!

Crikey! Wouldn’t have thought you’d be ‘behind’ me. Mind it all depends what you’re knitting.

True! I knot every single day, sometimes for hours but progress feels slow sometimes.

Ooh got to love a finished knitting project. I just cast off the jumper I started recently, turns out it is too small so fits nikki… nice to have it finished though

Oh no. Maybe just pretend that was the plan all along and you’re a really nice sister 🙂 Although I am sure you already are a really nice sister.

What, you don’t already own at least one pair of red shoes? Lush socks. Would look cool with red DMs:)

As you know I have foot issues and the story of my shoe buying life can pretty much be summarised as ‘I bought the only pair that fitted me.’ 😦 So no no, red shoes – although I do have more than one pair of fuchsia pink – which I’m sure you’d approve of. I have eyed up DMs on the past, but I’ve never bought a pair. Maybe I should 🙂
