Wicked Witch House Socks
The pattern is available at Ravelry.com (or, this is a direct link). I asked a few people which version to attempt to try, because there were a couple of different things I didn’t know how to do to make these. General votes chose the pointed toe. Ok. Let’s try this.
After pulling the supplies from my stash, I sat down to learn how to do toe up socks.
The pattern wasn’t difficult to follow, but I did need to pay attention. Before too long, I had the toe done. I delighted to see that that there was a slight curl upwards for the toe. 
I wasn’t expecting it, but was pleased to see it.
There is a fair amount of color changes as the slipper and the striped socks are worked out. Again, paying attention really pays off. I only had to redo parts of this section a couple three times before I figured out what all was going on. Once I did, this went so much easier. However, I did botch the heel section. I’m ok with that, as I was still learning.
By the time I was done with the slipper section, I was back into the familiar. The rest of the house sock was a snap to complete.
I suppose I really ought to consider finishing the second sock, eh? 😉
Why Fibre Ninja... Partly because it's a neat name, and mostly because I can work with so many different kinds of fiber and craft mediums. I do a lot of different kinds of needlework and create even more things using those skill sets. I like to make things. I grew up in a household that firmly believed in "make do or do with out". If you could make it, all that much better. I come by my skill sets naturally. Or, if you prefer, my dad was a mechanic and mom was always doing some sort of needlework. My grandmothers, on both sides, were pretty handy with needle crafts, too. What skill sets I didn't grow up using, I learned. Some of skills were self-taught, while others I was fortunate enough to have friends help me out. I don't kid around when I say books are some of the most important tools a person can have. If you're willing to read and figure it out, you can teach yourself how to just about anything. Speaking of getting to know me, here are some basics, I've been - Quilting since I was 20 - Crocheting since I was 5 - Knitting since I was 38 - Bobbin lace making off and on since I was 32 - Embroidering since I was old enough to be trusted with a sharp needle and scissors - Tablet/card weaving off an on since I was 42 So none of this has been a "flight of fancy" for me. I'm not saying some of things I've made haven't been for the pure joy of "why not?" Because, let's face it, if it's not fun to make, why do it?
