Looky looky! First monkey sock is almost done - it was a good job that I put it on in order to photograph it for the blog, since I hadn't realised I was nearly there and would blithely have carried on patterning the foot until I ran out of yarn! Hopefully I'll be onto the second one within no time at all.
Meanwhile I've been knocking up a few whimsical bits of crochet jewellery. This cotton is very fine and fits the bill perfectly even if it is a little fiddly. The flower necklace is similar to one I've done before, albeit in thicker cotton and a larger size, but the other choker-style is an experiment to see if I can come up with something different.
I've finally had some feedback from my Sockapalooza match with a bit more info about her and her sock preferences. The Excellent News is that she wants blue or brown socks, which is great cos I have absolutely no blue or brown sock yarn in my stash. Hurrah! Retail therapy opportunity awaits!!
And now the magazine has gone to press, you'll be seeing a little more of me, I hope. Of course I mean a little more in terms of frequency, rather than acreage (yikes!)
Incidentally, anyone who lives in the south east London area - a note for your diary. It's open weekend at the Cockpit Arts studio in Deptford next weekend 18/19/20. Come along and see what the crafters in this part of the world get up to - there is everything from textiles and ceramics to jewellery and stained glass, all of it fantastic quality and many things for sale. Start your christmas shopping early!!

Super sock! Like your crochet necklaces too. The one that isn't a flower has something of an Egyptian feel to the shape... Not quite sure why!
