Raindrops Socks KAL Part Six Final

Finished my Raindrops socks! Happy Happy Joy Joy! Love the finished result! Definitely be knitting few more pairs :)

Going to add more pictures after the blocking. I always block socks, they \

look much nicer after that.

P.S. If you wonder how I block socks, here is the recipe:

• I soak them in slightly warm water with few drops of fabric softener for say 15-20 min
• Carefully squeeze excess water and wrap them with old towel (or new if you like) to get rid of rest of the water
• Put washed socks on Sock Stretchers (my dear father kindly made me a pair)
• Leave them to dry
• Wear them proudly

Hermione's Magic Socks

Hello Hello!
Autums is here, raining outside, bleh bleh! And what I love to do when is like that? Of course KINITING SOCKS!!!
First of all I have to say that I LOVE HARRY POTTER and all this magic crap, or you wont get the point why I make them socks. And yea, when I was looking for pattern to make nice pair of socks for cold autumn, I recently saw this name - HERMIONE'S EVERYDAY SOCKS!! Wow, my heart stopped for few seconds and next thing I was printing the pattern and getting my knitting needles and wool ready. Wool is from Dublin's wool shop (hope ithas bit of magic inside, cause Dublin is magic city,me thinks :)) You think thats all? No! I made another pair straight away after I finished first! :) Wool is very strange color (yuk color if you know what I mean),but is perfect for magic socks!
So heres my lovely magic socks (made with pure love and pure magic,thee heeee :)))

Pattern is from Raverly, and if you like it,you can find it here.
Oh yea, needles I used for them socks are size 2.
So thats all really for now, became kinda lazy with crafting (still doing bits and pieces),but spendinng more time with Cillian now, and going to gym or for walk! :P
And heres my litl one (cute blondie hair. awwwwww :DDD

So yea, thats pretty much it. Keep yourself warm in these cold autumn evenings!!!
