Sock yarn challenge



 I challenged myself to use all my sock yarn. I managed these pairs  this week. There wasn’t enough yarn left for another whole pair so I started making some Leonie Morgan hexagons from all my sock scraps Slowly they are making a blanket.



 There are also some charity makes such as more lined bags, a couple of dried rose peal sachets, and 9 cup mats.



My pond has some 30th Anniversary plants now. We bought 4 salvias and a lavender. The others I already had.

It must feel satisfying to see the sock yarn stash change into socks and the beginnings of a beautiful blanket! You have found good ideas for the charity sewing too, I hope they will sell well. The pond you made looks lovely! It will be great for birds and hedgehogs too.

WONDERFUL socks, Melanie! I must try knitting some slouchy socks like this, they are such fun! I like how you used some of the rainbow yarn to make the rainbow centers for the Christmas tree! VERY fun all your charity makes...what a great way to use up stash, what a challenge too! And I'm sooo happy for your that your garden pond wish came true this year--it's BEAUTIFUL!! How lovely to look out and remember your anniversary, and all the years to get to your cottage home and forest life. :))) ((HUGS))
