Finishing Touches

[callmemadam]

I decided my socks would look more gifty in a lttle bag. It was going to be just a tube tied at the top. Then I decided to make eyelet holes, then to use a wavy cast off, then to knit cord instead of using ribbon. Just managed to stop myself making some little medallions or flowers for the tie ends! It was rather tedious but I'm glad I did it.

Yes; pity it has to go through the post first!

I'm sure you could find something to attach to the ribbon ends at HobbyCraft. Little gold stars or similar.

But I shouldn't encourage you.

Too right. I daren't go in there.

That's really cute. Nice packaging makes a gift even more special. :)

True, and it's for a very dear friend.

That is such a lovely present - your friend is very lucky.

She's worth the trouble. Now for the next one; I should have started earlier.

I am frantically knitting my way through December too.

Oh this is fabulous! Socks and bag will be treasured I'm sure. I'm still working on *last years* legwarmers for Miranda sigh. I fear I am a very bad knitter indeed!
