Flowers and Socks

Boy, some people just have too much time on their hands to come up with cauliflower sheep with olive heads.

I whipped up these socks for the 5280 Sock Challenge. I started 4/17/07 and finished 4/18/07. Here's the scoop on the socks:
Plymouth Encore Worsted
Book:"Knitty Gritty Knits,"
Pattern: "SOCK IT TO ME," designed by Karen Baumaer
Needles: Clover 7" DPN size 7
The fastest pair of socks I have ever made and the fit is spectular!

Since it's spring, and the flowers are blooming, I was inspired to crochet some emblishments, for what? I do not know, just tryin' to let the creativity flow.

And then, while I was doing a photoshoot of some of my "vintage stuff", I came across this skirt my grandmother made me while I was in high school. I think I wore it only once or twice, I never could find anything I liked to wear with it. I wonder if Stitchy would get a kick out of it?

I can't believe I had my "Pincushion" flower blooming already? I have never had it bloom this early. Maybe it's because I moved it to a sunnier spot!
