1 PHOTO & 20 WORDS // AN ADVENTURE

sock knitting an adventure

"I'm going on an adventure", said Bilbo, dreaming of mountains and dragons. 
My adventure is quite different, yet as scary. 
Let's try and knit socks!

Joining in with Abi over at Creating Paper Dreams for A photo & 20 words. Sort of a day late, but let's ignore that fact. Also, her blog is awesome.

  1. A perfectly Bilbo coloured skein of yarn, I think!

    I've never knitted socks, but that self striping wool i did the baby blankets with at the beginning of the summer got me thinking about it. I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes with you

  2. Dragons definitely go with knitted socks in my opinion. Scary scary stuff! I drop stitches far too often to consider doing anything more than a scarf! You are very talented!

  4. Very beautiful wool - it really deserves to be seen! My very talented Mum used to knit socks on a circular needle - wishing you lots of success and keep us posted on progress!

  7. super colours. Good luck with the socks - as a slow knitter I prefer chunky projects (but still love to admire fine gauge yarns.....)
