My wonderful brother Andrew is coming home for Christmas this year. He's had a pretty hectic year with the financial chaos (I guess who hasn't) and has had some wonderful achievements with him running the NYC marathon– so what better present than a pair of cozy comfy socks to wear around a cold London flat.
Notting Hill Socks
Pattern: A combo of Thuja and a sock pattern from the Knitting Vintage Socks book from Nancy Bush
Yarn: Mission Falls 1824 wool. 4 balls (I used a smidgen of the 4th for the toe of the 2nd sock)
Size US6 circs
I'm actually so happy with how they came out. Talk about a quick knit too! Super fast dude socks.
I also made a Christmas stocking for my friend's nephew who's seriously the cutest boy ever. His name is Charlie.
I made an I cord for the curly C. I hope lots of fun presents get filled in it for him this year.
If I don't post again before the 25th – I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! And Happy Holidays!
Ho Ho Ho!

Gorgeous stocking!!! Charlie is a lucky little boy to have such a sweet Aunty Margaux to knit it up for him! (Esp because his real aunt is a knit-slacker) 🙂
