Sock it to them!

I hope all those celebrating Mothers Day had a lovely day yesterday and you were spoilt by your loved ones.

A wet and windy weekend here in the UK, perfect for curling up on the sofa and putting a few little x's into a project or a spot of knitting.

I finished off hubby's socks...
 
 
and as Dani questioned them being for a 'him' on a WIP post, just for you Dani, here he is modelling them, hot off the needles!

 
A little added to the UFO SAL project, Irish Garden.  All the middle row flower borders are now stitched and a few shamrocks have appeared.  There is still an outer border to be added once the middle borders have been filled in, so lots more to do yet on this one.
 
 
A little stitching last week, but not a lot as it was a busy week. 
 
Two weeks since my last post so there have been two letters added to Nature Alphabet on my Tuesday SAL with Gillie.   
 
R for rose..... 
 
and S for sunflower.... 
 
Just a few more weeks and i'll have a finish...
 
 
Wednesday as always is the CCN SAL.  A new start last week as the week before I finished house number 9 in the village - Santa Sleighworks
 
 
The new start is Gingerbread Emporium, house number 10, just a few stitches last week.
 
 
Nothing to show from the craftshare this time, it's still a WIP and should be finished this week.  There is also a combined project we are all taking part in that i'll share with you soon.
 
Thanks for visiting,  I hope you have a lovely week.

    Wow--a professional sock modeler couldn't have done a better job than your husband, Julie! Your finished socks look fabulous! And you're so close to a wonderful new finish on Nature's Alphabet :) I think of you each time I walk past my own finished piece hanging in the hallway!

    Enjoy your week...

    Haha, you're married to a sock model!

    I didn't realise Irish Garden was so big, at least we'll be watching it grow over the summer. Unlike the alphabet which will so be over!

    They are gorgeous, these socks, and perfect colours for men or women alike.
    Great progress on your stitchy WIPs. It' so nice to see the new additions to them. I particularly love Nature's Alphabet, your SAL piece.
