New Sock Ideas


Yesterday, I started on some new house sock ideas. I came up with some patterns with animals on them. I thought it would be something fun to wear around the house when the weather gets colder.

I've just started a pair of lion socks, and I really hope they turn out well. I am always excited when I start a new idea, but I also get nervous, hoping that it will turn out the way I see it in my head. Many times, it doesn't, and then I'm stuck with a bunch of wasted time, with nothing to put in my shop. However, when it does work out, the pride I have in making my vision come to life is immeasurable.

Just last week my vision for a faux wrap sweater came into fruition. I was going to post more about it, but it sold, and I just shipped it off. When I'm finished with some of my sock ideas, I'm definitely going to make another.

  2. What a cute idea (and cute kitty photo, too).

    Sounds like your faux wrap sweater will be a hot item this Fall and Winter---keep those needles clicking!
