…waving a sock. Hello! Can I join in? I know it’s Handmade Monday and I know it’s a bit late and …I only have – a sock. Just the one. And yes, actually, it isn’t quite finished…. but I’ve been awfully busy and I really really want to join in…Is it ok? Hmmm?
It has been a busy weekend, so I hope you’ll forgive my lack of productivity! We headed off to London town in the white van, filled with all Aimee’s worldly goods…
No kitchen sink, but there was a bongo drum and a unicycle….
Her mother’s daughter, apparently…
We had things to deliver to the South Coast too, so more family was visited and I managed a visit to a favourite shop for curtain fabric where the lady of the shop had her own brand of fabulousness …
and a great blog too…Pop along and say hello!
Higgins didn’t want to be a White Van Dog, so he went to the Norfolk coast for a little break.
Oooh, these sand dunes are a bit steep...
...but this wet sand is nice and cool....
...and the sea is even cooler on the tum....
...and it's nice to have a sunny patch to dry off in...
Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible

I wish I could go for a paddle, it is still 28C here! Glad Amiee got everything to where she needed it.
I love the yarn you are using for the socks. I also couldn’t believe how full that van was!!You’ll have a lot more space at home with all of it gone!
Ah ha – I’ve now put Higgins and Planet Penny together! Nice sock too.
Quite a lot of designs that might appeal to Higgins on my website…
Higgins is so sweet. Never knitted socks but they look fun to do.
Well, I’ve never seen a sock in the process, so I’ve now done something new, thank you! 🙂
That sock looks great – its so nice to see one in a bright colour. I’ve only seen people knitting them in grey before. Love your wee dog Mich 🙂
I just adore your little doggie… I really want one!!
Heck, of course you can join in! That one solitary sock is one sock more than I could knit!!
Wow to the shop lady, that’s just amazing. I love your doggie pics too. Looks like lots of fun was had!
Cute on the dog factor. He looks like he has alot of fun.
And when does the lucky sock get married? Lovely project idea… if I could knit lol
Don’t you just love it when you turn a heel, it is such fun when it goes to plan. And as for Kitchener stitch, pah, simples 🙂 Would love to see the finished pair.
Love the hair embellishments – especially the frogs. Gorgeous colour hair too. Uhm knitting socks – think that is one I will leave to you.

That Higgins! What a connoisseur of all things short! 🙂 Lovely sock too.
Looks like you certainly have been busy Penny. Love the socks always, I have sock envy and would love to knit in the round! As for little Higgins, he looks like he has had a happy holiday, bet he was pleased to see you again though. Is the fabric shop Wayward in St.Leonards, Norman Road? I think I recognise Betty xox
I am forever envious of people who can knit socks! I love the yarn too 🙂
I think I’m in love with Higgins! I like to knit socks 2 at a time, on a circular needle, ele I end up with a solitary sock that never gets a partner ;o(
What a lovely week-end (maybe a bit sad at daughter going away). Gorgeous photos!

I love the beach photo’s, looks like someone is having a cool time.

Hi Penny and Higgins! I see your had a great weekend! What a beautiful beach for Higgins to have fun!
Your blue sock is a dream – my dearest colours!
Have a lovely time!

I think Higgins is a very discerning dog – Norfolk is an awesome place!
