We made a pompom yesterday. Now she's learning to knit because she wants to put her pompon on a hat! 🧶

Starting with the knit stitch, and moving onto purl soon!

So proud ☺️

I have a habit of starting socks and then forgetting about them! I started this pair last March when I was testing the cuff shaping for my Speckle Pop Socks. I then left them and only picked them back up over Xmas when I needed a car knitting project.

At least they're done now! 🧶 #sockknitting

Sock knitting and pub quizzing... I'm a better knitter than I am a quizzer that's for sure!

My latest finished object! #fo
A pair of socks that started as a long tube with toes on each end 😂

As you can see from my wonky bind off, I usually knit my socks top down, but my hubby hasn't noticed and is wearing them none the less!
