Sock wildlife

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a nice week!

 I helped out at my school sports day yesterday, that was fun :) And today was textiles club :D It was only me today as I think the other years had exams but the teacher said I could make a sock toy from a book the textiles department just bought. It was called Stray sock sewing and there was tons of cute creatures to make in it but I chose a little sock piggy. I made about half in school and then when I got home I finished him off :0) Here he is....


Hehehe :P I decided to call him Sid, the sock pig!

After I finished sid I had the urge to make another sock animal but this time I thought I would make up my own design, using a similar construction method. I came up with Sock shark:


Just when you thought it was safe to rummage around in your sock draw...... lol!

It is quite amazing just how much you can do a couple of socks really :-) I might try another animal out of the book next week, I will look for some good socks at the weekend! If you want to try some sock animals I reccomend looking in £1 shops as they often do packs of different socks for £1 and usually they are kids socks so are super-bright coloured!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend,

See you all soon,

Bye XXXxxxXXX <3 <3

Farmyard swap :0)

Hola,

This month's theme for the cute and quirky swap I run on Ravelry was 'Fantastic farmyard'. I was super excited about this swap as I haven't taken part in one in agesss! My partner, Keri recieved here parcel from me on Monday so now I get to show you what I made/sent her....



Hehehe :0) Keri said she liked pigs so I tried to find the cutest pattern I could. This little piggy was made from a Annie Obaachan pattern and I added a bow to try to boost the cute factor even more! Keri liked her so I was happy :D

And today I came home and my parcel was waiting for me so I was happy once again!!! Look at all this super cool stuff I got:


- A super soft knitted duckie dishcloth :3
- some farmyard note paper and envelopes
- A piggy tape meausre
- A pretty butterfly trolley coin
- And a beautful quilled cow card!

Thank you very much to Keri, my great swap partner! :0)

I love swaps!!!! <3

Hehehe, see you all soon,
