WOYWW #197 - Angry Socks

Hello. Wednesday again, where I join in with what's on your Workdesk Wednesday. Most addictive and much fun. Anyway, here is my desk, taken Tuesday Morning as the sun was shining through the window of the finished loft (apart from a bit of painting and dressing!).

A finished sock hanging off my sewing machine with bits of bunting waiting to be sewed together for Smallest's room. Sewing Box with Cafetiere Warmer about to be packaged up and sent. A cushion with an old baby blanket, half sewn into a cushion cover for my sofa. Small's swimming towel and badge needing to be sewn. Nimp waiting for his bell to be sewn back on. Wind-up radio soothing me. Cafetiere and coffe stimulating me. Bag of crochet hooks. Tin of bits for carrying around in my knitting bag. Tape measure to measure if my sock is long enough. Second sock which I have to say has only taken me two weeks to complete (yes two weeks, first one five months Ha!). Nearly a pair. (Just the Kitchener Graft to do). Ha ha ha ha ha. Think I might have done it slightly wrong but I am past caring, I'm sure it will be lovely. I have a ball of wool all ready to make Huffle's pair. Angry Pig and his friend Angry Bird just waiting for a tail to be sewn on. And I think that's about it.

My spotty tablecloth (that I get so many comments about) is stuffed in the drawer and needs a damn good clean - it may be back next week. The bunting and adornments are yet to be put in place as we still have painting to do and I will need to move the desk a bit.

Here is my side of the loft.

And the other side of the loft that will be the Guest room

Right I am off to do a bit of my Granny Blanket in front of the TV and then I will wander around and see what everyone else is doing on their desks.

I can't believe how quickly you knitted the second sock! That's brilliant, and you're contemplating a pair for Huffle too! I've been trying to work on Andrew's hat again, at this rate he won't be able to wear it until next winter! I did get one sock finished though, haven't cast on the second one as it will distract me from the hat! Love the loft, you wouldn't think it was the same space would you?

awesome attic loft for crafting and guesting. I used to have a basement room like this where the little ones could play while I did. It was great fun! Love the Angry Bird and Pig! Vickie #1

Love your loft studio, Famfa! One of the houses we looked at had a bedroom with sloping ceilings like that, which would have been my ARTHaven. Full of character! - as is your desk this week - what a lot of creativity going on! Great fun.

Thanks for your lovely comment - things are definitely progressing. Today I've had a more restful day as I'm rather exhausted!

Happy belated WOYWW,
