Tooting my own Horn

Sorry to be tooting my own horn, BUT I actually finished my first pair of socks that only took 3 years!!!! Of course not 3 years of knitting, but 3 years are sitting in a knitting bag waiting patiently for me to JUST DO IT

And they actually fit and are cosy and warm and perfect for this wintery weather and my first sniffles of the year. So sitting and knitting this weekend and having fires and lots of tea was what made me so happy, I just had to toot my horn......I guess it is like a "ta da" moment.

So here we go in photos







                                                    Cosy weekend fire


                                                    Love the reflection



                                                    Jack enjoying the warmth



                                       My amaryllis has 7 flowers and another stem on the way




Well that's all folks, sorry to my Instagram followers for repeat photos. I am very active on instagram if you would like to see me there too. My side panel has my information, just click it.

Stay warm and have some yarn fun too, xoxoRobin

    Love the socks, the colour combination is beautiful. There is nothing nicer than a blazing fire when it is cold outside.

    Congrats, Robin! It's quite an accomplishment to knit such a nice pair of socks. I knitted one pair several years ago and never made another pair.. the first ones drove me nuts! LOL! I hope you do better than I did. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

    Gorgeous socks Robin. Quite an achievement. I wish I could knit socks. I have trouble finding comfy largish ones that don't cut off my circulation!

    Such a gorgeous cosy post! I am so impressed with your beautiful socks, how clever you are!! I have never tried to knit socks I think they look very complicated, but maybe I will try. Love your bright and cheerful amaryllis pictures. Thank you so much too for your kind and supportive comments recently lovely lady x
    Wishing you a wonderful weekend dear Robin.

    Hi Robin! The socks are so cute! I made a simple pair last year, but out of a bulky yarn. I was not at all comfortable with using DPN's but after all the hat making, I am ready to give it another try.
    Stay warm and cozy!
    XO Kris
