Socks, Buttons, New Project ...





Green socks. Who do we know that knits and knits with the beautiful colour green … yes it’s 2paw, and I have been unbelievably remiss in not acknowledging these gorgeous, cosy, wear them all through winter, green socks.

2paw knitted these for me years ago. Yes gentle knitters, your eyes do not deceive you – 2paw knitted and sent me these gorgeous socks years ago and I have never bloggerly acknowledged this awesome gift. Each winter I get them out of my sock draw and wear them and each winter I remind myself that I have not thanked 2paw publicly, but at last, and I must admit, only to make myself feel better (you know, no longer guilty). 2paw, I thank you. They are truly awesome socks and I love them.

I’ve also had another delivery of scrumptious buttons from my now one and only button store in the whole wide world - buttonalia - on Etsy. Sharry, I love your buttons. They go so well with knitterly projects, and the packaging - it’s so much fun receiving these in the post, plus Sharry always adds a lovely little note (look, the shoes have bling!).

The Rowan Kid Classic from another all time favourite UK seller – Jannette’s Rare Yarns, is a project for The Princess - a red garter stitch coat, with hood of course, and a tie belt. Sharry’s buttons are a perfect match, although the match does not look perfect in the photo, is it.

Today it’s freezing cold in Sydney, with the weekend weather prediction of rain. Great knitting weather!

To all who are going to Bendigo and Canberra this weekend, have a wonderful weekend. I miss both every year as we celebrate son-in-law’s birthday. Oh well.

Enjoy your weekend!

Oh Janette, I am so glad you like them and wear them and I didn't need public thanks!!! It was a pleasure.
I must go to the Button shop, as we have very little choice here and the colours are always just not quite right!!
It was below freezing here an will be again tonight, Real Winter weather, keep warm!!!

Happy birthday to Jody! No one can grill a shrimp on the barbie like he does. We SO enjoyed that barbecue at their place.

The buttons rock. And that red coat will be awesome - a red riding hood. She's a lucky princess.
