A bit of the blogging blahs this week I'm afraid. I wasn't sure why but I think I've worked it out. Now that I work from home most of the time I'm sat in front of the computer all day and therefore feel less like sitting down in front of it again in the evening. I sat in front of the computer all day before, but at least it was a different computer, which made it feel different, even though it wasn't really. Am I making any sense?
Knitting blahs as well I'm afraid. I thought I was in Sock Wars but it would appear that I'm not. This did not become apparent until after I had started my first sock.
I thought I might as well carry on and make the pair for myself but I've come to the conclusion that I am not that keen on DK socks. Maybe today I will knuckle down and rip it out. I think the yarn may live on in some sort of slippers for the children. My mother used to knit us slippers which had soles made from sheepskin - wooly side on the inside to keep our feet warm and non-slip skin side on the outside, for obvious reasons. I fancy trying something like that myself, although I may use some of these that Get Knitted have just got in stock.
Want to see my view a couple of mornings ago?
It stayed like that until past 10am. I'd say that autumn is definitely on its way.
you can buy slipper bottoms - I have some from Germany - which have fleece on the upper side and sheepskin on the bottom. You're going to have fabulous winter photos!

Even that small amount of mist can't stop me thinking, what a view!
Know how you feel about metal needles....

what a great view even with mist, those slipper bottoms look great but I like the idea of sheepskin ones.

Hmmmm, don't know what happened with Sock Wars - I am still waiting for my dossier....you can always make those socks for me (love the colour)

What a lovely view. Looks like you've got a time machine window there...you could walk out and be in the 18th, 19th, or 20th century, right? and no one the wiser. Methinks she doth have autumn fever...

Sorry the Sock Wars didn't work out. Hope you get your mojo back soon.

Sorry about the sock wars, but I love the color. OK I must be crazy but I love the mist photo. The only mist or fog we get here is SMOG.

I LOVE that yarn, what is it?
I'm using those suede bottoms for my frlted clogs right now and let me just tell you they are VERY hard to sew on, very hard on the hands! If I knew that before I bought these I would use some of the paint on no-skid stuff instead! Just a caveat for you!

Somewhere I have seen some soles for knitted slippers that have the holes round the edge already made.....
