Knitty Nora

At this time of year, I usually slow down on my knitting and the needles don't 'clack' as much as in winter but I thought I'd share this little project from Autumn last year with you...


Back in February last year I went on a sock knitting course at 'Create' above Nora's.  It was one of the most rewarding things I've ever done and after much frustration (and under the breath cursing) I successfully completed my first pair after about 8 weeks and then I embarked on a further challenge.

A good friend was getting married in September, and as a fellow appreciator of all things handmade, I decided to knit her and 'hubby to be' a pair of socks each, but with a twist...

They would each get a pair of odd socks but together they would make two pairs of the same socks!  Altogether now... Ahhhhhh! Yes, I thought it was quite sweet too!

Ta Da...






And here's the happy couple on their wedding day



'And what's your next project Nora?'  I hear you ask

Egg Cosies of course!
