Anniversary Socks

These were finished on the 15th of October which is the three month anniversary of our trip around this continent/island.

We started out from Canberra on 15 July.

American Beauties

The Loopy Ewe very kindly sent me this yarn for me to collect from the Post Office in Kununurra WA (just over the border with Northern Territory).

So they have been completed as we made our way across the top of Aussie. I recall turning the heels on a very hot dusty afternoon at House Creek Bridge Rest Area ... very dry with fine fine red dust that swirled about if the breeze jumped up or a car pulled in at anything faster than 8kph. It so hot we barely moved!

Anyway we are now in the cool again and they were finished off at the caravan park at Kalbarri and photographed tonight at Leeman.

We are almost at Perth. I'm hoping they will fit our friend Jonathon T who we'll catch up with there.

Nice yarn too Shalimar 100% super wash

Dark night socks

Finished by torchlight so I decided to photograph them hanging from the clothesline.

They're quite small and when we arrived in Darwin there isn't anyone to give them to. No-one in the tropics needs warm socks... Of course!

Krys The Crocodile

This is a replica of a gigantic crocodile shot in the area in 1957. Over eight metres long!

Billy's Big Feet Socks

Little Loopy was ecstatic to sit on Bill's big Yamaha Tenere and show off his newly finished socks.

I purchased this yarn in Canberra and was surprised to be able to make the socks without something extra.
