Getting there...

A few posts ago I showed you the little socks that I was knitting. They are only for decoration and I am making 25 altogether so that they can be used as an advent calendar this year for my little grandsons.

Here's my progress so far. There are 14 completed. All are made with different coloured worsted weight yarns.

Here's numbers 15 and 16 on needles right now. 

On the quilt front, I have the first border put on.

The outer borders have been cut and once they are sewn on, I will be sewing the backing together and putting the quilt on the frame.

It's Wednesday and so I am linking up with The Needle and Thread Network and also with Esther's blog. There's lots to see at both sites so if you are in the mood for some inspiration, pop on over.

This weekend, the leaves were once again in their glory.

I love this contrast of green and red leaves. I'm glad that the grass is still green too.

I take photos from the car so sometimes things get a bit blurry.

Have a great rest of the week.

  2. Your sock cache is growing. I love your quilt, and the copse of trees. That color of pinkish red that they turn is one of my favorites.

  3. The boys are going to love those little socks! I'm pretty sure you won't be making the fabric sort of advent calendar - they're going to want to use these.
