Uli's Creative Corner

Now, here's an old UFO finally finished.  I started this pair of socks in the summer of 2006, JR was just a baby, I was on mat leave, the Little Miss was probably still going to daycare......... so, I had quite a nice bit of time on my hands.  I started Sivia Harding's wonderful Reptilian Lace socks from Knitty.  A beautiful beaded knit.  I was quite taken by the first sock and remember just being absorbed into knitting it.  Couldn't put them down but since I didn't immediately cast on for the 2nd sock, they sat and they sat and they sat.

Well, one of my New Year's resolutions was to work on some UFO's and this was one.  Here they are, made from Loran's Laces Shepard Sock in the Baltic Sea colourway with beads that blend totally into the colour:


I really liked how they turned out.  I'm also glad they are finally finished.

If you're local, this weekend, I'll be at Fibres West out in Abbotsford.  I have a little table and I'll be selling my wares - stitch markers, shawl pins, bookmarks, cell phone charms, spinning wheel orifice hooks and I might just bring a bit of handspun and some jewelry.  I'd love for you to stop by... if you do come out, please make sure to stop and say HI - I might just snag you to give me a break so I can do some of my own shopping. :-)
