Spring in a sock

For the spring 2009 of the Midsummer Magic Club the task was to catch spring in your socks. For that we recieved a sock blank, some spring inspired dye and instructions for painting and knitting.
For the painting of the blank I had a lovely little assistant.


We taped the fingers of her gloves and she painted flowers on the blank like she had done it for ages.


Leaving the background for her mother to fill.

The included pattern was a nice lace pattern with butterflies and little tulips.
I knitted them both at the same time using magic loop. This was a little complicated, as the first lace pattern had stitches traveling from one needle to the other. But a savety pin did help a lot.
