What a wonderful Autumny day we are having. Overcast and the perfect weather for sitting down and focusing on some of my projects, and planning new ones for next week :-D
What are my 5 Elements of Fascination you may ask, let me count them down for you.
Number 1:
Sock number 1 is finished and looking good. I do think that I will be keeping this sock as a trial sock though, as then I can refer back to it to see where I made mistakes and where I can better myself at the process of Fair Isle, so I will be keeping it in its' raw state - loose ends and all :)
Number 2:
I finally managed to get passed the ribbing on Jas's Pullover - YEAH! So now it can only move quickly. Now that I am on to the stocking stitch part I am really enjoying this knit and have spent most of my time this week on this project.
Number 3:
I am joining in with Callipidder Days Fall into Reading Challenge. I think it is the ideal way to boost my reading in the next couple of months.
I have started on my long list and am reading and listening to two books to make a dent :-)
On my Ereader: Abandon by Meg Cabot
On my MP3: Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
Number 4:
See this Tea-light Candle Holder? Would you like to know how I made it?
Now you can! Not only have I made a Photo-Tutorial of exactly how it is made, BUT, I have also made a Video showing you how to do it. Here is the Video for you to watch, I would love to hear your comments, as I loved putting the video together and hope to make many more of them over the next months.
Number 5:
I am searching for a Blogswap Partner. What is that you say? You can read all about it here.
So those are my 5 Elements of Fascination for today.
I will be sharing this post with the Link-Ups I have listed
Love your sock!

Hello Natalie! Your blog looks so clean and fresh, I like it! I also like your post, you are full with very nice ideas! If I would feel better, I would definitely think about the blogswap with you!
ReplyDeleteHi Elisabeth,
DeleteThank you, I so needed a new look and am liking the new. I think it is a bit more organised having simplified all my links and sidebars etc.
I am really sorry to hear you are not feeling so great and I hope you are better soon.
I would love to Blogswap with you. When you are better and are still interested, let me know.
Thanks for your visit

Your sock looks beautiful and the ribbing looks super squishy! I LOVE Game of Thrones and all the other books in the series. They are so exciting!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy,
DeleteI must honestly say that I am still struggling to get into the Game of Thrones and do hope that it gets easier with time :)
Thanks so much for coming past.

Your sock looks very pretty and very warm.
ReplyDeleteHi Emma,
DeleteThank you, it is warm, I think before I start the next pair, I am going to first knit myself up some arm warmers as there really is a nip in the air and I can feel it in my aging fingers! LOL
Thanks for dropping by.

The fair isle sock is gorgeous. I like the idea of keeping it for a reference later. I'd really like to give fair isle a try sometime.
ReplyDeleteHi Janet,
DeleteThank you. I would say go for it, it really is a lot easier than you think it might be. Try something easy like a scarf or something to get you going.
Thanks for dropping by.

That sock is indeed gorgeous - you may be fed up of reading that by tomorrow!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
DeleteHmmm, do you think that could happen? LOL!
Thank you kindly anyway and thanks for visiting.

Your colorwork sock is an item of envy for me! I want to try a pair, but I haven't motivated myself to start.
ReplyDeleteHi mkonieczki,
DeleteI can't wait to see you make a pair :) Go, go, go....you can do it! ;-)
Thanks so much for visiting.

That sock is gorgeous! Fair isle and colourwork is something I haven't quite conquered yet, so everything I see in it fascinates me. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHi Renee,
DeleteThank you so much, you are very kind.
Have a great day.

I'm coveting that sock - like your idea of keeping it for reference.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the pullover.
