Socks & Scones

Here's a pic of those socks I finished yesterday..I'm not sure they quite go with the sandals but then it's not exactly sandal weather these days anyway. I realised just how much I love hand-knit socks as they are so much more comfortable. It's a great feeling to look down at your covered tootsies and think 'I made them'.
I really envy those who are clever enough to knit lace patterned ones (like Alex).

So whilst the mood took me I decided to cast on another pair using the Opal Harry Potter yarn I bought some time ago. It's a variated wool in hues of blue, green and even a bit of dark red. I tried taking a photo but the colours came out all wrong.

I made another kitch purchase today..do you want to see?
I've always wanted a cake stand..for girlie afternoon teas. Now I just need to make some cucumber sandwiches and keep the cake supply topped up (oh the hardship!). It may even inspire me to bake some scones...but I very much doubt, safer buying some..lol.
The cake stand has a similar design to the Jessie Tait Midwinter tea set I got from my Nana before she died. It's in my mums attic...time to retrieve it I think.
