30) OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE TAGGED, WHO IS THE MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND FIRST?

I prefer not to tag. If you want to do it, please consider yourself tagged !

SOCK BLOCKERS.

A quick post in response to overwhelming [ two people !] demand !
Here's the link to the ebay shop. Seems they're away.

***ETA [9th July] : Corrected the link ! Their shop is open again.***

ETA : That was a bit sparse, wasn't it ?!
This particular blockers are in size small. I have a pair in medium winging [stomping ?] their way to me. They do xs, s, m, l and xl. I bet they custom make hugely enormous on request ! When their shop is open again you'll be able to check them out. They cost £14.99 plus p&p.

COMPLETELY UNINTENTIONAL BLOG BREAK !

I honestly had no intention of disappearing for a month.
Things happen !
Sometimes, if you don't blog about it at the time, the moment is lost !
I'm sorting photos right now, for a better update.

I did finish the Sweetpea socks [see previous post for details].
Here they are on the recipient's feet. That makes my heart sing !

I twisted the Estonian Braid on the cuffs in opposite directions. It's the little things !

The blockers are something I never saw the point in getting ! I decided that I needed a way to block and show lace socks, so succumbed ! I'll give details of these British made blockers next time.

I'll be back ...
No. Really ! I will !
