I have a desk that is scarily similar to last weeks desk, in fact, it’s all still there, exactly where it was lat week. The only difference is a couple of additions in the form of some Christmas stuff as I had a DT project to make. If it wasn’t for that, it would, most definitely, not have changed an inch!
I should put up last weeks photo and make you do a spot the difference, lol!
I did get these done though…
Pair No5 of the year. Not bad at all considering I only managed four pairs for the whole of last year, and here I am, on pair five already and only four months in to the year. I’m quite pleased with that, my goal is 12 pairs by the end of December!
Here’s a close up so you can see the pattern which is all ribs, cables and lace. My Ravelry page is here is you’d like all the details. I also came across a really hand little app on the internet that tells me that I’ve knitted 1.64 miles of yarn so far this year!! Yes, I know, little things please little minds!
I hope all of our friends in the Southern US States are faring ok after the terrible round of deadly tornadoes in the last few days. Amazing how your whole life can change in the blink of an eye. Thankfully all we’ve had to put up with so far has been a five hour power cut.
I’m off to call in to see Julia, hopefully I’ll see you there.
Nice SOCKS! xxx
Christmas? – get outta here!! great socks, I really like the colour of that yarn. I wonder if there is an app that can tell me how many yards of cutting I have done this year? LOL, Happy WOYWW Cindy #51
Those socks are beautiful, love the colors. I wouldn’t want to hide them in a pair of shoes!
I keep telling myself I need to start, again, on getting Christmas cards in the makes, but the 90′ weather just isn’t any help…..LOL

My goodness weather goes from one extreme to another. Your desk looks way too organized. I like your little stamp. Hmmmm, when might we be seeing a card with that little beauty? Our temps are now in the 90’s, thankfully that is only for this week. Next we are back in the 70’s. I’m hoping creating Christmas cards will cool the house down a bit. Fantastic socks, but then yours always are! Happy crafting be it with needles or pen…
Lovely tidy desk Brenda – makes my look horribly messy – and your socks are gorgeously warm and comfy looking. So sorry for the folk suffering after the tornadoes too. Like you say, life can change in and instant. Having said that I hope you have a good week. Elizabeth x #70
GORGEOUS socks, love the pattern! I’m always absolutely amazed at the knitters and crocheters in woyww, so talented!

GReat socks, love the colour, and the cable pattern. bet they’ll be toasty warm! Helen 9
Nice up close detail of the socks. You did a great job!
I love the socks and have saved the pattern to have a go at, later. I’ve been watching someone knitting socks at the knitting group I’ve joined recently, and had promised myself to have a go. You’ve just given me the push I needed – thanks! Have a lovely week, Chris # 15
Ooh what lovely socks, like the colour and the pattern. I’ve never knitted sock, maybe I will have to try.
You desk shows that you have done something since last week, even if it is only tidying up some bits, but you have done all that lovely knitting so you can’t have time to make cards as well.

Loving that PB stamp on your desk too!

Awesome socks! How many miles?! I see you’ve printed the labels for your distress inks. That’s on my to do list. 😉 Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #82
I glanced, saw C stuff on the desk and then concentrated hard on the socks… very pretty socks too.. love all the detail and you are obviously getting used to the pattern and speeding up!! LOL Annette #6
No, I understand the thrill of the yarn distance as I was amazed when I realised I’d sewn through the 3 km of Gutermann’s thread last year!! You must be knitting like a demon, if you’ve completed all those socks already…love the colours in those plummy ones!
We’e just had two glorious weeks in the run up to Easter and now -3 is forecast for this weekend’s nights. So, while I have a load of stuff in the greenhouse to go out, they’re going to stay snuggy warm instead! Great British weather, eh??
Hugs, LLJ 36 xx
Your desk always looks pretty interesting. I love your socks – what do you do with them? Surely you do not wear them out and need more. They are far better quality and much prettier than store bought socks!
