I Surrender!

Look what the Easter bunny brought:

My friend Wendy´s new book! Socks from the Toe Up.

Today is the publishing day, but I received my copy a bit before, so I´ve had time to read it.

 And believe me, this is the Bible of Socks. It covers everything from the toe and up.

It has simple socks and simply lovely socks.

My copy now falls open by itself on this page:

Pink hearts. Me like.

Husband of course took to a pair of plain, but beautiful white socks and started making hints about how he needs a new pair. 

And I honestly think he would be able to knit them himself after reading the thorough instructions and looking at all the illustrations. Heh!

There was a dedication on the first page from the author herself.

I´m not sure if that is a threat or a prediction, but I prefer to believe that Wendy is something of a psychic medium. Or how could she otherwise know about these?

The children will soon start feeling ashamed of me...

In my stash I have some lovely DK sock yarn that my friend LB gave to me some time ago.

Choosing a pattern was hard, but trying to avoid being predictable I finally picked this one.

See, it´s not the pink pattern!

But don´t you agree that they might look very good made in a pale pink and purple yarn?

And since the wretched hat is done and the size now close to perfect, I´m free to start something new.

Elise is still busy felting small furry animals.

This is probably a little mouse.

De där rosa sockorna är ju "to die for". Tur att jag har lite självinsikt, annars skulle jag genast fråga dig efter mönstret (receptet höll jag på att skriva), C U!

I am not a big sock knitter but I so want this book after seeing some of the patterns in it plus I would love to learn to knit toe up socks
