I finished the sock I was working on! Big thanks to SatNavSaysStraightOn for the pattern and the useful tips!
It fits perfectly, and I’m really quite pleased with myself!
Now I just need to make the second one…

Really well done. Now for the other one? One of the things I didn't like about knitting is having to do two of things. For a jumper I was OK doing arm one. Then when I got to the second arm I'd think, 'oh not again!'.

Forum GOD!
Decided to rearrange the stall after I got everything on the shelves. The meerkat's collar and leash are drying. Need to make the lights, then the dolls, maybe a hookah or 2.
I love the jars of pickled stuff!

Loving how it makes one's imagination fly over to far away places, whilst still at one's own home.

Again the colour isn't true. It's a much cooler colour than the picture shows, but I now have buttons. I've knitted 1 complete pair of socks and another single sock was finished last night, then I think I'll have used all of the self dyed yarn up from that colour combination
So because the pictures are a few pages back, I went on a yarn dying course where we had to take an inspiration photo.
That was my inspiration, one i took in the Lofoten Islands. The midnight sun in the Lofoten Islands whilst we were trying to cycle around the world.
I have since knitted this cardigan and pair of socks and have another pair on the way.
The socks are the true colour of the yarn. Very blue the same as my photo.

Brilliant
Note following that recipe, you'll easily be able to get the second on to match the first one in the length of the cuff, the leg and the foot & toe.

I made a note of how many rounds it took to finish the foot so that I can make the second sock match the first one!

There's a system for keeping track using little hooks call row keepers. You mark every 10 rounds on the first sock and as you get to the same place on the second sock, you remove the appropriate one on the first sock and put it onto the second.
I do it for both the cuff and all of the leg and foot but not for the toe. My last one will be the start of the toe which for me is always 18 rounds. That way you end up with 2 identical socks, not just 2 socks with the same length foot.
This sort of thing (https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0D355NDM8/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0). I avoid the plastic ones because they're too bulky for socks

Got inspired today to buy potted plants/flowers for the communal garden bed in front of my app building.
Nothing survives in my flat, and now I realize, I could tend to plants outside.
Let's see if I go through with the plan.
In my wild dreams, I'd love to know plants and be a gardenscaper ( horticulturist? Or a more elegant and accurate word?).
Wasn't sure what to do with the Hibiscus ( or so I think it is one, two)...so will google.
Would love more flowers down there.

Hibiscus is a tropical, or at least sub-tropical, flowering plant. Don't know what would happen to them in a European winter, to be honest.
