The Scalpay Linen Bags

Go here if you want to see the bags, Sheila hads taken some good photos of them individually. And she is not going to keep them hiding Sheila=YOU WILL SELL THEM... personally me thinks she's a closet hoarder as she hides her stash of fabric, and if you don't want to buy the bags but the fabric then send her an email and I'm sure she will consider selling it.
go on then have a look..

SCALPAY LINEN TOTE BAGS

I was playing with linen today, well linsey woolsey to be honest, thinks that's how it's spelt. I made these 6 bags for Sheila at Scalpay Linen. the fabric was woven by Sheila herself on the Isle of scalpay, If you go to her link on my blog then no doubt she will be adding the finished bags onto her etsy shop. I hope she does as you will get a better pic from her, I just cannot get this fabric to look right in my photos. I'm doing something wrong.

FINALLY KNITTED THE BLACK KILT SOCKS

yippee.....I have finished the black kilt socks, much as I like knitting kilt socks, black does nothing for me..... these are for Uncle B***** and his grandson and they are going over the Clisham as I write...Oh I do hope they fit..

SOCK STOP

SOCK STOP.

This is a liquid that you dot or whirl on the soles of your socks when finished, It gives them a bit of grip on the floor, My wee guy does not keep his slippers on so I thought this would do the trick. Here is a pic of the sole of his socks.

When my wee girl saw them she now wants a pair in light blue and I'm knitting an adult pair as well to see how they go.

This is where I bought mine from, I bought a tube of the white and blue.

ANOTHER PAIR OF WEE BOOT/SLIPPER SOCKS

OK it's dark outside, rained for most of the day, got my kilt socks to the heel and then this wee pair I started at our knitting group meet-up on wed night, I was dyeing to finish them as I wanted to try this Sock Stop out. I've not used it before and wondered if it works. I knitted a wee pair of boot socks for my wee guy, in my pure wool bulky I used 1 x 100g, in this tweedy effect dark grey, on 4.5mm needles. Approx 140 yards per 100g, 3.5-4 stitch per inch. I shall posting a pic tomorrow of the finished sock, hopefully...... Oh the sock on the left is on the sock blocker and the piece of card has been cut so it will fit inside the slipper so this sock stop does not go all the way through.

Leave me a comment if you have used it..

Will it ever end?

I am on the final kilt sock, this is for the 5 year old grandson of my Uncle B*****'s and to be honest I'm glad there are no more black to knit...I tried knitting at night just to get them done.. Bad move as in the morning noticed my mistake and could not fix it without frogging.....doh. won't be knitting black again at night....I did manage to get to the heel today as I sat all morning knitting, not guilty as it was lashing outside and a day for sitting by the fire..This pic shoes the first kilt sock done and I sure hope they will be heading over the Clisham on Monday when Unc comes to visit.. Tomorrow I finish the foot, press and just wait...

FOR NINA=Frogging is ripping the work back, ie rip-it as in frog!!

I hate doing this but needs must, at the heel of the other kilt sock now so by monday they will be ready yippee.......

HARRIS KNIT & CRAFTER'S GROUP

We had a meeting last night, and very enjoyable too. We had a new venue as we were having problems getting hold of the key for the community centre where we were having our SassyGael & the WoollyWags meet -up. So last night we met at First Fruits Tearoom, and very pleasant indeed, There was 6 of us, 3 new faces and 3 of the "old wags" which was interesting. Quite alot of knitting and other craft going on and the usual chit-chat, and coffee was flowing so overall a very good night.

So if you are on the Isle of Harris and want to pop in and see us, we will be meeting every Wed night from 7.30 until 9.30pm in First Fruits Tearoom (easy to find just turn right after you pass the Bank of Scotland car park is opposite the tearoom) with kind permission from Steve & Heather, thanks also to Cathrene for opening up and having the place so cosy for us..

Best thing about last night=no searching for a key!!
