....Hello hello my little nook friends....

.....Yes i am back now from my little nap....


....And i am not sure where to start, so maybe i shall just creep back to it in little bits.....


.....So for today i shall just start with some chunky socks......



 
....scrumylicious chunky socks....

 
....knitted on two chunky needles, yes  i did say 'two' chunky needles,  and with a little bit of invisible mattress stitch thrown in......

 
....love em, love em, love em....

 
....Mr P got a pair too.....in fact he likes his so much its almost impossible to prize them of his feet for washing........men ay....
 
 
.....These scrummy lovelies are super easy to knit and whats even better they are super fast to knit too...
 
.......Pattern from Erika Knights simply knitting book.....
 
....There is one thing that i am definitely going to do this year....and that is make all my Christmas presents , ( i love a challenge ),  and these are where i shall begin ( though Mr P has his socks already), i will be knitting a load more for the gents in the family.....
 
 
.....and one more thing  before i away to the kitchen to start dinner....
 
....This is Hector....
 
 
....Isn't he a cutie...
....He was perched in a favourite shop window and i new he just had to come home with me.....
 
....I think he looks most at home on my blog banner...
 
 
.....Cheerie bye for now....

  1. Loving the socks, will get checking the book out at the library. This year we are on a £15 only present for Christmas, these could be ideal! (Did I just mention Christmas presents in May? Somebody save me!) Welcome back by the way x
