Hump Day is here and may I ask you: What are you working on today? Me? I have not touched anything crochet in several days, long story…
Well as you know Christmas is right around the corner and my goal this year is still to make it a Handmade Christmas, that concept is going to be with me for a very long time. Let us get back some of the creativeness of our past generations, and hopefully inspire the newer generations.
Today let us look at one item that I have never tried to crochet, The Formidable Sock to me it looks daunting but I know with practice it could become a favorite, what do you think?
Please enjoy the parade courtesy of google images 🙂
See You Soon…

I like your idea of a handmade Christmas! Two Christmas’ ago I made for my nieces and nephews family tree scrapbooks. Took a lot of research and phone calls since my family line only constitutes half their genes, but it was worth it. I was able to go back as far as the early 1800s and they all LOVED it!

I wish I could but no I don’t. My 8 yr old daughter is interested so we’ll probably start, but I’m a hands on learner & don’t follow written instructions for something like that very well. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes :-).

My favorite is the beige with green toes, pink heels and the decorative touch on the top. I admire the Handmade Christmas – for me, homemade is better than just about anything! Good luck and keep us posted, you’re just a pleasure to read 🙂

Love a handmade Christmas! I did that a little last year; the majority of the gifts I gave were crocheted or baked. I love the idea of crochet socks but have always been intimidated by the patterns. I never understand how to make the heel. Maybe we can both conquer our fears this year 🙂
Blessings!

I started back on my loom knitting a couple of nights ago…but the yarn bored me so, I had to put it away. Guess it is time to go yarn shopping. The little socks with the buttons…adorable.

If I work on anything (my son’s coming to supper!) It will be my Granny Ripple blanket. Yay! Haven’t touched it for weeks and I was planning on having it for the coming winter. [Not even half way through 😦 ] Loved the pictures of the socks – so tempting to start another pair.
