The Adventures of... Nermin!



Meet Nermin, who lives with Daisy
He has recently been on an adventure to Scotland and even though it was a bit rainy it looks like he had a good time. Nermin always knows to look on the bright side of things ^.^


I think Nermin may have been winning at cards...

Sockits under a Willow

The Sockits went to a Knit under the Willow tree weekend this week :)

They met Amanda and Phil who run The Natural Dye Studio at a lovely little farm with a big willow tree outside. Lots of people came from far and wide to play and knit and eat cake. There were alot of socks about, some still being knitted, and lots of very beautiful ones which the Sockits liked very much.


They decided to climb the tree so that they could have a good view of what everyone was doing.




Amanda makes lots of lovely yarn for people to knit with. Its all dyed with natural things and there are lots and lots and lots of scrummy colours! Its all so soft so the Sockits quite enjoyed playing in it. If they'd been allowed I think they would have stayed for hours but then they might have caused tangles...



They made lots of new friends and some of the Sockits have gone to new homes with their new friends. We hope they keep in touch!

Sockits would like to say thank you to Amanda and Phil for letting them come to stay. Thank you to Daisy for taking some of the photos, and thank you to Joy for cake!

Sockits at the Beach

Last week the some of the Sockits went to the beach. It was lovely and sunny but a bit windy!



They had great fun playing in the pebbles while the grown ups had their fish and chips. They were kinda glad it was pebbles and not a sandy beach because they didnt want to get sand in their stitches!

Wimbledon


The Sockits had a get together a few weeks ago and watched some tennis. It was semi-finals day at Wimbledon and there was a spilt in the camp, some were supporting Murray and some were supporting Nadal... Fortunately Sockits are always friendly so they were all cheering pretty much every time anyone won a point. And there were strawberries, always good.


You can see more of the photos from the day here:
(Thanks to Tim for the photography)

Sockits on a Train

Mini Cards


The mini-cards have arrived!

After much deliberation on design the mini cards were ordered and have arrived and needless to say the Sockits are very happy. They are all picking out their favourite colours but fortunately there are enough colours for them all to pick one they like.

They do however want me to link you to the lovely people at Moo.com for making the cards. They have their eye on the Moo stickers too I suspect...
