4. sock, gnomes, tired.

Did shopping today, it rained a lot. It seemed like that made it take longer. It really didn't, I don't think. Or at least not much. Just trying to keep things relatively dry when to and from the car. Quack... Just a bit of a long day, so slow and low on the blog.


This crazy shape is a sock. (Seabury Socks, Ravelry. I actually had this pattern since '95, so where originally? Um. The internet? Cough...)

So you fold it up, like so:


and sew up the back and sides, and you have a sock. I am presently at the sewing part. More pics when it becomes functional... Just felt like something mildly different.

Gnome, gnome on the brain! Remembered to get a photo of the group I've made for Mom.


Okay, there's 5 gnomes there. Mom is just a teensy bit biased, I made an OSU (orange and black), and a UO gnome (green and yellow). Notice which she has shyly hiding in the back? Ahem. 

The one one the far left of the picture was just a stroke of luck! I had a decorative pin shaped like sun glasses, and it worked just perfectly for size.  Just wish I had a few more. Perhaps a search o' the vast array of stuff and nonsense online would turn up something... ?

Fascinating sock pattern, i'd never be able to figure it out.

Those are cute gnomes!

Shopping in the rain is a pain.

I don't think I would have either. It's definitely a sock when you see it up, tho.
Thank you! She likes them! :)
Rain is rain. Quack...
