Hubby's slipper socks

Here are the slipper socks I knitted for my husband this Christmas. I am quite proud, because not only did I design the pattern myself, but I also attached leather soles. I've never tried that before.

Hopefully it will make them last better.

He has already ventured down the garden path a couple of times, hence they are not pristine any more!

Etsy

After a long silent period I have relisted two patterns in my etsy shop.

Here is the pattern for socks with after-thought heel (sizes new-born to adult)

And here the pattern for egg cosies.

Both are sent via email as a pdf attachment, so there is no lengthy wait for the postman to arrive!

New sleeping socks - rainbow version

Do you remember my sleeping socks - made from a 1970's vintage pattern?
Well here is the latest version.
Knitted in navy in pure wool, with cheerful stripes in all the colours of the rainbow.

You can find them in my etsy shop here.

Sock mania

Here are my latest socks, UK size 5-7 (approximately 2-3 years).
I love the bright sunny colours, so I call them the 'Walking on Sunshine socks'.

They are knitted with a peasant heel (also called 'afterthought heel') - a pattern which I have been using for a few years now.
I wrote my own pattern which gives 8 different sizes, ranging from newborn to adult size. It is very versatile and can, with a little practice, be adapted to fit any foot size.

The pattern can be purchased in pdf format from my etsy shop. Full instructions and two pages of pictures included.
