I have a bit of thing about fair isle.
I received a couple of pairs of these lovely socks fo a Christmas present, will look forward to wearing them.
Rain, sleet & hailstones today....inside weather!
Three good things:
1. Old films, I watched The Sound of Music this afternoon.
2. Watching Britain’s Favourite Novels...the top thirty!
3. I hung the turkey carcass up....not one bird have I seen on there...our birds must be too well fed! I have noticed the lack of blue tits here, unlike our old house where they were mostly blue tits.
These are the most beautiful socks I’ve ever seen. Lucky you! Also:
1. It’s gotta be done.
2. Ooh I’m going to find and watch that
3. I didn’t even know that was a thing.
Those look beautiful and warm Pat , , Watching old films is a thing this Christmas - -- gives you a feel-good feeling ! My carcass oops must rephrase that -- my turkey carcass went straight into the waste food bin this morning . Had lovely turkey this year , but by today had seen enough of it , !! Salmon tomorrow I think !!
What a neat present! I know as children we were somewhat disappointed if we were given socks but nowadays I would be delighted especially ones like these! Wouldn't hanging a turkey carcass up encourage rats?
I've knitted socks for myself...though not recently. Am now revving up to get back to knitting...in the New Year. I like to knit things in one piece...aka no seams. Great fun...if you like knitting and geometry!
@beryl I definitely think my carcass should have gone in the bin too. I think birds these days have far more sophisticated tastes! We always have a bit of salmon after the turkey!
These are lovely.. My Sister knits socks and the wool she uses knits up like fairisle..
We didnt have Sound of Music this year on the Christmad movie agenda..
Oh, I love fair isle too ... mostly because my mum was a Shetlander. I remember her knitting away, but she always said she wasn't as good as many of her relatives. Probably true, but she was pretty good as far as I am concerned!
Lovely shocks. They will sure keep your feet warm. Sunny here with threats of rain; went out with the camera but took also my umbrella in case Ii was caught in the rain - luckily it didn't while I was out.

Sound of Music on Dutch TV too...but forgot to watch.
I've not seen hanging Turkey carcase up in this area. Quite curious! 💛
