I wouldn't say that today was one of my most productive days when it comes to knitting... but I did manage to crochet two kitty toys, spun a little more of my yarn, mended a little of a pair of socks that sorely need some fixing up....

So I suppose today wasn't that bad... still do need to finish a thumb on a pair of mitts that will be a Christmas gift... if I manage to get back to them before the big day :(


The first mouse I made... found them on Ravelry and thought they were just too cool not to make :) My kitty seems to think the same thing too! Good thing.. I made two.


And here he is, enjoying his second mouse for the day...


 So this, being my first go, is my very messy and sad attempt to repair my sock... Our new addition to the family decided they were worth chewing on.. resulting in a lovely little hole needing repaired.. So I figured, rather than letting one of my favourite pairs of socks go to waste, that I would give mending a go...


This is what it looks like on the outside...


And oh look... they are wearing thin anyway, which is why I decided to just go over the first two to three inches. That should cover up where they will be getting the most wear and tear.. Kind of figured it would be the heel that would go first, but I guess I don't walk enough on my heel...


And here it is... Been working a little on this yarn throughout the past two days.. Figured that I would be good and get all my yarn spun before I start working on my socks... Which is proving to be quite the test in patience... I find myself wandering around aimlessly, lost and without purpose lol... A bit odd since I still have plenty of yarn to spin!
