Feet and Flowers
This is a Notecard from the Roman Holiday Series. You can find it at the Ellie And Ada Etsy Shop. I love my cat figurine. It was a lucky find at a second hand shop a couple years back. I actually got myself this print on a tote bag from my Society Six page. I love it so much and use it everyday.
Was going to do a granny square with a lot of sock scraps. I stopped here a long, long time ago. Laziness and uncertainty got the best of me. I don't know if I want to knit/crochet another wool blanket. I do love the look of an auld granny square, not going to lie. What do folks do with sock yarn scraps? I've knitted log cabin blankets with mine. I might make a Lifesavers Cardigan with some of the sock yarn leftovers. It is another Tanis Fiber Arts cardigan. I mostly knit worsted/Aran or 4 ply yarns. In Ireland, you pretty much need some sort of sweater or cardigan all year round.
The flowers are my pansies from last year. Hardy Soldiers, I think they're going to be just fine this Spring.
Going to work on some soup and finish off a present of socks. If you are a sock knitter and want a really handy chart of all the shoe sizes. This way, at least this is what I think, if you know their shoe size, you can figure out their foot in inches or centimetres. In my experience, it is hard to get people to measure their feet. Funny but true!

Flowers
I took pictures of my knitted socks and my first attempt at gardening (this year). I have somehow managed to keep these flowers alive. They are amazing since they have practically died but have been revived many times. Some family members are much more green thumbed than myself but I hope to learn as I go.
Wonder what the neighbours thought of me photographing socks on my feet.
The socks are plain knitted socks- what many knitters call vanilla sock pattern.
I dyed the sock yarn.
