I felt so small

Greetings! I'm going to be away from the internet for a week, but when I come back, I shall hopefully have some delicious yarns form London to inspire us all. Pictures from my trip will probably be few, as my memory card seems to have gone for a wander. With the aid of another's camera, I hope in the meantime you'll join me in chastising this cheeky handknit sock which sneaked into a normal wash. Please ignore my carpet - we're out of hoover bags.
For comparison, here it is next to its 'big' brother.
Bad sock. Bad.

  1. In a way, that's really crap. You must have spent quite a bit of time knitting that sock and now it's tiny and shrivelled... But in a way, that's hilarious. Look! It's tiny and shrivelled!!

    I got your postcard, it's so cute, thank you!! Tell the girls I say hi and thanks for the sentiment. (:

  2. sorry Michele, but this made me laugh! I once spent a good 2 weeks knitting a pair of socks with complicated lace and cable design and ... I felted them accidentally during the first wash (emm.. I thought the wool was superwash, thus washing machine safe). Lesson learned, now all my socks get a careful handwash. But still, reading your story made me laugh ;D

  3. It's so cute! :-D I guess you're going to have to felt the big brother too and give them to some lucky child!
