Isn't it funny how you finish the entire second sock, and those 24 stitches are just sitting there, waiting to be grafted together. And then they sit there. For two days. I got fed up of them looking at me (there were so!) and stitched the little buggers up this afternoon. And I even know how to do Kitchener Stitch without reading the instructions any more. Yeah, it took me 5 minutes. Clearly worth all that procrastination.
Dear Dotter is modelling the socks here, and they look a little big, which is a Good Thing TM, as Sister has size 8 feets, vs Dotter's size 7 feets.
Socks will be presented (only 1 month late) to my Sister next week IN PERSON (yes, she's here from London, for a whole FOUR months!).
And now - you know you want it - Gratuitous Food Porn...
I was making an Indian Chicken Pilau the other night; I like putting the spices (cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, and turmeric in this instance) in these cute little silicon pinch pots... and the sun was coming through the window, and they just looked - well, you know what I mean. I got my camera, and told the spices to 'Work with me, baby!' – Enjoy!
Jejune they are GORGEOUS (said in best Little Britain impersonation). I love them!!!! Clever you.
ReplyDeleteAnd food porn. Oh yes. Lovely. Very photo-worthy spices and bowls. I adore bowls. I collect them. So I very much appreciate that photo!
Hey! You did a fantastic job on those socks- they look lurvely!
ReplyDeletedivine socks Jejune, but you don't need me to say it :) happy sock dance!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, we get to do the happy sock dance again - wee hee!!! :) Fabbo socks, matey but those spices are making me hungry.
ReplyDeleteI love the socks! And I can't wait to meet your sister. As for the spices, well, I can smell them just looking at the photo. It's a good think you can't see me drooling!
