| Yarn is Summer Lake by Mothy And The Squid |
And now they’re ready for the (dreaded*) sewing up:
I got a fantastic new bag from a friend in California which is the perfect sock knitting bag:
Here’s what it holds with room to spare:
Into these socks:
Mini Archie welcomed two new chums who stopped in Durham for a while to visit Penelope Creations and commission a new outfit each:

If you're linking up, please add a link (one per person, please) to your blog post, which could contain: a mosaic of all you've made in the month, something you've made/started/worked on, a goal which you'd like to achieve in the next month (and then in next month's post you can reflect on that goal and set yourself another one - I find this particularly handy if I'm in the midst of a big project and finding the making of hundreds of blocks to be interminable), anything crafty you'd like to share. This isn't just for sewing or quilting, but is for all crafts so if you knit, make lace, make clothes, do anything which could come under the heading of 'craft', then please link up. Please visit the link immediately before and after you and leave an encouraging comment, and more if you can manage it - we all know that comments create joy, so let's spread some around. Also, please treat all the linked posts and their authors with respect - I want this to be an inclusive space for all crafters and crafts and all are welcome. If you're not sure if you're welcome or you belong, you do - this is by no means a closed space and if you want to join, then you are most welcome. If you need help linking up, please leave a comment and I will do my best to help. Please add the Furtling button to your blog post: copy the code below and paste it into your blog post - it should then magically appear when you publish your blog post (I'll do my best to help if you have any problems) and it will help people find the Furtling page with all the details of the link up.
To link up, go to the link at the bottom of this page and click on 'link up' (it's a blue button) and then add your link (website URL), a title (this could be your blog name but could also be something interesting to draw people to it (keep it clean!) if you prefer), and your email. This last one doesn't appear on the link (I will have access to it - I won't use it unless there's a problem and I need to contact you) so don't worry that you're about to share your email address with the world (or the handful of people who find this link), you're not! The link will remain open until 10th October; if you're seeing this post after this date, I'm afraid you can't link up to the September Furtle, but you can link next month if you like.
Aren’t the fabrics wonderful? Thank you, Ramona, I adore it!
And I turned this sock lucky dip item:
I had under two grams of the multi-coloured yarn left at the end, which is very nearly almost as good as just having enough left to graft the toe closed.
And I’ve wound my next project, dishcloths from this gorgeous cotton dk yarn, I can’t wait!

Not sure how I squeezed all that into a short month, to be honest!
