Please excuse this extremely picture-heavy post!
Daisy then kindly modelled the sock I knitted formyself the general female Locket sock-pool
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - my children are bonkers!
I came across a really fab tutorial yesterday which meant I temporarily became totally obsessed with folding paper!
Do you get like that when you find something that is so simple but incredibly effective? Or is it just me?
I've also taken Michaela's Sock Startitis club totally to heart and have recently finished two more solo socks and am now on to the second one like this.
First of all I finished one for Fred (a nice little foot) so here are a series of photos of him modelling it with one (of a pair!!!!) of socks knitted for him by Granny Dog (mine is the one on the right)

Then again, there may be an explanation: Yesterday morning, after the two smallest and I had tried desperately to sneak up on the lollipop man, ducking behind cars, shuffling along crouched low to the ground, running wildly from one car to the next and giggling loudly (and I mean ALL 3 of us doing this, not just the children), the lollipop man pointed out to me that if my children were bonkers then there was a very good reason for it! (do you think he might have meant me???)

He most definitely meant YOU Ms. Locket! Those little Lockets are so cute -- tell them I'm waving to them. Oh, and great socks too!
Oooh, I LOVE that box tutorial - thank you so much!
We're all bonkers too. It helps, don't you find? With life?

He he he he !!!! Bonkers? Surely not? Must have meant someonelse.
Only kidding, sorry...
Lovely post, the socks look fab, warm toes all round.

I've made those boxes too!! They are in a kids craft book I have!! Very cute!! Maybe the lollipop man is right?! ;)
Very cute pics Lucy! I'm glad you are all such a laugh
Hee! Love the crazy Daisy yoga and the sock collection. Maybe I might even make some of those boxes - they look very therapeutic. Emma x
Bonkers and bendy judging by the photos! Well the apple never falls....!!
I love those little boxes things. I made those for teacher's presents for Miss Grace for Christmas. Lovin' all the sock action - I'm struggling with my first pair. I made the mistake of putting my needles down and not doing any for a day or two and now I'm totally lost with it *sigh*
and how bendy is your daughter? Wow. I remember I time when I used to be able to do that....I think ;)

What Trash said....and double it!!
Those little boxes are gorgeous! I don't ever get obsessed with making new things like that....no really....well, maybe once or twice...
Lovely socks - your/Daisy's ones are fab - what's the wool? I might need to get some.

Yup, thats just sent me off to make little boxes!
i think Mr Locket must have his hands full!!!
love the stripey long socks!

Sounds like a lot of fun trying to creep up on the Lollipop man. Laughter is always the best medicine. Your little boxes are lovely Jane x
Great boxy link Lucy! Only a truly mad crazy lady would make 22 quilts (have I lost count) for one swap (am still in awe of that and always will be!!) xx
Thanks for the link to the box tutorial! Love the ones you made!
Oh, those boxes are so sweet! Must go and check out that tutorial. And more fab socks! My goodness, what must that poor lollipop man have thought!
:)

Hopyou have a lovely weekend

Fantabulous socks -clearly bonkers, but clearly having such a good time! You are progressing so much better with the socks than me - this poppy one has got me grinding to a halt.
I think it's good to be bonkers... but what about Mr Locket???? Great socks and love the box tutorial!
I love the little paper boxes and the socks are fantastic!
