Autumn Leaves
Book #132 by The Prairie Schooler
fabric: 32ct lambswool linen
fibers: DMC
scissor fob filled with crushed walnuts
I even made the rusty bells myself! I found some instructions in the Oct 2010 issue of Create & Decorate and it was a cinch to do with materials I had on hand :)
You might remember that I've mentioned many a time or two that I love to start the week with a new pair of finished socks. Something about it makes the dreaded Monday so much better :) Fall seems like the perfect time to get back to that, seeing that my previous pair of finished socks were, ironically, a Monday post.
Presenting my Simply Ginny socks. I love everything about them......the pattern was simple and enchanting, the yarn soft and cozy, and the color is cheery and delightfully fall!
Simply Ginny

ReplyDeleteLove the simply ginny socks. And not because I'm named Virginia. :)
ReplyDeleteCute fobs and great socks ! Love the color.
ReplyDeleteDo you believe someone would not like something that you create? I think most people probably flip, rip their hair and run screaming in the streets from sheer joy at receiving a package from you! And I mean that :)
ReplyDeleteThis one is beautiful from start to finish love the tag and the fob.
Those socks are pretty wonderful too! Congratulations on being the craftiest of them all!
What fabulous finishes, I particularly like the rusty bells, so cute!
ReplyDeleteI could definitely do with a cosy pair of socks at the moment - Autumn has well and truly arrived in the UK!
Great exchange gifts!!!
ReplyDeleteThe socks are divine too. I really need to do that pattern - I loooooooove cables. Thanks for linking it. :)
So adorable Staci!! And I love the rusty jingle bell! I'd love to know how to make them....googled for instructions a long time ago but couldn't find anything. So I ended up buying some from Pineberry Lane. Guess I need to go find that magazine!!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I think I just passed away there for a second. Your socks are gorgeous! The colour, my dear! The pattern! My next knitting try will be a hat made out of sock wool, and as soon as that one's completed, I will go for socks. I will.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely autumnal stitchy exchange gift. You're too talented.
Dear Staci,

Thanks for showing so many pretty designs!
