I came across these socks by an Italian lady I think she is Oana she has a you tube video of these socks. I was impressed and wanted to have a go at making them. No joining anywhere that is a win for me. I used 5 ply acrylic, I made one sock but in between I made an order that had to be shipped so it was a week maybe after I made the other one. I did it by memory and I did a shorter row. I just thought it would come in handy the way the heel is done for amigurumi. I don't think I will make socks again since they never came perfect lol. If I did it in the same day they would have turned out much better. I like the right side sock. When you put them side by side they look ok. Hope yours turn out ok if you give these a try. Good luck.

Colourful Doll
I made this doll out of cotton following a video. It was a basic doll from youtube. I ended up doing the head myself as I didn't want to make it separate. I did the beanie so I don't have to make hair. I like her shirt, I love the colours I used. I wanted to use up the cotton I had but I ended up buying more as my daughter ordered me to make her baby rattles that she would like to give away. It is a well explained video and you can easily follow the lady. My daughter did the eyes with felt I personally think she looks mean like a mean teacher lol.

Apron
My daughter asked me if I could make her an apron. She wanted specific material and she wanted to use it for the garden to collect her produce. She wanted a large pocket in the middle. So I looked on you tube and I saw one like this. I saw how it was made and I took notice of all the measurements of how she cut it out and sewed it. It was easy to follow I think I had quarter less then a meter in material. I had just enough it felt good to have bought just enough. I cut the patterns and did all the steps the lady did. It came almost perfect except for the front band. I could have unpicked it but hey it is just for gardening even though I try my best to do everything close to perfect. Sometimes I can't be bothered and let it go.
