Elfine's socks* by Anna Bell, Curious Yarns sock yarn in Sprung. Perfect for seaonal socks. Funny how some socks take forever and others just fly off the needles. I started this one a week ago and finished it on Wednesday night. Sock 2 is already growing.
I was going to give this sock an outdoor photoshoot in the garden, but yesterday's sunshine has disappeared, to be replaced with grey mist. Instead, here are a snake, a horse and a sheep from a string of animals representing the Chinese calendar.*I wonder what socks Elfine would wear after Flora Post takes her in hand and transforms her from a wild marshticket to an elegant maiden? Fine silk stockings perhaps, with a secret border of leaves and sukebind.

wow, very pretty!
Both the socks and the photograph are beautiful!
what glorious socks, I think even Flora would let Elfine wear those. But yes, silk stockings with a garter of leaves and sukebind fashioned in Irish crochet out of the finest, most pastel, silk thread...
Now I must go and "cletter the dishes"
