Four baby sock owls

Three woolly sock dogs
Two needle & thread tins
And a free sock monster pattern

So today I went nuts on the baby sock owls. Purple ones, blue ones, red polka dots, pink toadstools. This little quartet I made to create a mobile out of… but now I’m not convinced on the green. It works in with the green toadstools on the fabric but… I’m not quite sure. Am going to sleep on it. On the note of mobiles, I’m almost finished the mobile pattern, a few friends are going to test it for me tomorrow night. The owl part is easy but doing diagrams and descriptions of how to lash the twigs together is a whole new realm of pattern making.

All in all a very productive day. Time for a vino I think.

    Twig lashing sounds like a physics degree is the order of the day. I made a few attempts and then the Mr and I agreed that our birds could just perch on a dead stick drilled into the wall!

    Hi Claire,
    I wrote a few weeks ago regarding the sock owl pattern for my daughter. Can you tell me if it is available for purchase yet and where we could get it in Australia or will you publish it on this site?
    Cheers
    Helen

    So I have about ten weeks left in my pregnancy and ALL of the sewing to recover a boppie, bumper, glider,diaper pad and accessories for the nursery. I really really want this mobile but I might start vomiting thread if I sew anything else. Is there any way you would sell me a finished product? pretty pleeassee :)
