Japan - socks and Sashiko

 When I went to Japan last year I bought some sock yarn. My friend said her mum would knit them for me. Well she has and they are beautiful. Thanks Mum.

I have also finished my Sashiko cloth. The photos are showing the colours differently but you have seen me working on this one before.

My new knitted socks.

I received these in the mail a few weeks ago.
Aren't they groovy... I love knitted socks and Kimberley was having a give away... Lucky me won them....

I tried one on and it looks a little stretched compared to the other one. All is good. They fit.

Love the ORANGE.. I might lose them to my daughter now. 

Here they are on my feet. They are lovely.

Thanks Kimberley

My gifts

What do you think of this lovely little Santa face badge my mum crochet for me.

She has made quite a few of these.

And then I was given a pair of hand knitted socks. They look like they have a fair aisle pattern but it is all in the wool. No changing colours. 1 ball only.
