M.A.N Socks

I have been slaving away making these "Globe Trotter" socks for my brother in law for Christmas. I drew his name out of the hat for secret Santa this year and thought i would make him some socks!
The pattern looks really styli for man socks but it is BORING! i really struggled with the constant seed stitch. I shoul have done what some friends suggested and cast on something else to work on when i got bored instead of torturing myself. I will do that next time!
They look great though! haha



I got to try out my spiffy new sock blockers too! A knitting night last night i was mentioning how i needed some and Sheryl whips out some plastic place mats and her blockers to trace around and voila! D.I.Y sock blockers!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Some time in the future i will get the real deal but these are great for now!

Secret Santa business :)

here is the package i put together for the TNN Mid Winter Secret Santa :)

Dinasaur Canvas's for a 3 year old boy ( stegasaurus is my fav )





Milo and Who hat for a 1 year old girl(sorry you cant see the pattern too well, there are little owls cabled all aound). The hat was my first hat and it was a pain in the bum!!! i need to learn how to magicloop because decreasing on DPNs is just torture




And the Sookie stackhouse yarn i dyed in a previous post, along with a "True Blood" themed scarf pattern for the mumma :)
