an attempt to grab creativity amidst the chaos.

Silly Tiny


I have never made something so wee before.
The tiniest of stitches.
The smallest of  booties.
The silliest of projects.


I had to make 3 instead of the traditional pair.
Why?
A reasonable question.

Instead of attempting my first teeny tiny project in English,

I chose Norwegian.

I don't speak any Norwegian.

And so as you can imagine,
it didn't go that well.

The pattern was almost translated into English.
With 'almost' being the key.

My first attempt achieved a club footed monstrosity.


I was very brave and ripped it out.
Such strength of character!

These actually stay on little kicking feet.
Unlike any sock I have yet to meet.

I definitely caught arthritis from my fist clenched knitting.

Totally communicable from little tiny knitting needles.

Be warned.
