My new start is ...... 'drum roll'....... socks, yes I'm knitting again. Don't do much of it but now and again I see something and I think 'I can knit that'..... well, I saw these socks when blog browsing and found a kit online. The kit includes yarn, set of five needles, pattern and cute little stitch markers. Wish I had picked a brighter colour now but I could always do a second pair. I don't class myself as a knitter by any means, but I think I am doing ok so far. What do you think?
My 'near' finish is a LHN Deck the Halls, it is a lovely little piece to stitch. Will be adding it to my Crazy 15 Challenge for next year. I must spend some time today looking at how much fabric and floss I need to buy ready for this challenge. I also need to add 3 more to make up my 15. I'm thinking Christmas, then I may be ready next year with a few ornies made.

I shall have it finished this week, so watch this space...... need to look for fabric to make up into a little pillow. I did finished one Christmassy ornie this week but can't show as its on its way across the pond for our Friendly Stitchers swap, and I don't want to spoil a surprise.
The weather here is bright and sunny today, but a definite chill in the air. I'll leave you with a few snaps of what's in my garden this week.
I love the colours of Autumn, Fall..... but feel sad as I know it means the cold of winter is on its way..brrrr...
Happy stitching

Wow, I am impressed with the socks, I gave up in disgust lol but will try again!
WOW I would love to be able to knit a pair of socks.. All the needles get confusing to me... you have 4 or 5 working at one time.. I have enough trouble with the 2 lol
