There's no way that any washing will dry outdoors today, it's damp and dull and very little wind so the clothes horse will have to do. It rained all day yesterday, there was no let up, and the temperature has dropped, I fear we've seen the last of any good weather.
A week's worth of socks. Don't they all look pretty?
They look gorgeous. My wool socks are on now too and my feet are so comfy in them.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can beat hand knitted woolly socks in winter, they're so cosy.
DeleteA very colourful array of yummyness. So frustrating when you can´t put the washing out, our storms have blown away now, but like you its turned cold and a little grey xcx
ReplyDeleteIt's raining again here now, I've had the light on all morning, it's so dark. I'm really not a fan of wintery days.
DeleteMy washing machine is almost done, and the sun has come out, so some things will go on the line today. Love all your socks, I am wearing my handmade ones more and each time I wear a pair the desire for more grows. So needles ready, yarn ready, lets knit.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that someone's getting some sunshine. I'm knitting my dad some socks for Christmas at the moment but I've still got my Strictly Knitalong socks on the go at the moment too, I'm looking forward to getting those on my feet.
DeleteThey do look pretty :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's been the same here for the last two day too, I really don't mind the Winter but I don't like the damp and the rain. I'm afraid the clothes horse becomes a feature when the weather turns like this doesn't it.
I hate having wet clothes hanging around the house but needs must, I much prefer washing when it's been dried outdoors but I doubt there'll be much of that now. I'm not a fan of winter, roll on spring.
DeleteHeavy rain overnight here. We have Ginger's bedding out on the line, but everything else is on the clotheshorse in the spare bedroom :)
ReplyDeleteWe had a day of heavy rain yesterday and it's back again today. I've got all my towels on the clothes horse, something I much prefer to be dried outdoors, it always smells so much fresher.
DeleteA week of socks ... a pair a day so that means 7, or do you have 8 days in your week Jo?? They look amazing, I've got mine on today, its rather chilly.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I wish I did, I could always use a few extra hours in each day. It's much chillier this week, winter is just around the corner.
DeleteI hardly dare say that we are in a dry spell, so pegging out every day. It is very cold so even I am wearing hand knitted socks all day. When I wash them, once a week to make it worthwhile it is like pegging out a rainbow.
ReplyDeleteI think I've finished pegging out for this year, even if it's dry there's a dampness in the air now. I usually save up my hand knitted socks until there's a weeks worth, I hand wash all the hand dyed ones so I wait until there's a few pairs.
DeleteIt was the same here so I spent most of it seed sorting. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely time for the indoor jobs now, nice days will be few and far between until spring rolls around again.
DeleteThey look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYes, the best of the weather is behind us for sure, time to wrap up and hunker down.

I like seeing them all hanging together, though it does inspire me to make more when I see all the pretty colours.
DeleteThey look fantastic! Very pretty indeed, love the purple ones.
ReplyDeleteI've got a lovely mix of colours, it's hard to choose which ones to wear each morning.
DeleteYes they do!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeeing them all lined up in this way makes me want to knit more.
DeleteThe socks look lovely and you will be needing them now that the temperatures have dropped. It's really cold this evening. X
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing them for a while now, I do like to be warm and cosy.
DeleteI'm on catch up, AGAIN!!!!!!! The socks are all so pretty & do look good on the clothes horse. We are also experiencing much cooler weather at the moment with snow forecast today for our higher peaks & yet it supposed to be the star of summer Saturday week. Weird! Take care.
ReplyDeleteMick encountered snow on his drive over the Pennines today, I do hope we don't get any here for a while.
DeleteIndeed they do look oh so pretty! Wish I had a pair on today, it's freezing here and my toes have only just thawed out!xxx
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I'm very thankful for my lovely snuggly socks at this time of year, they keep my feet nice and warm.
DeleteVery pretty & inspiring! One day I hope to have that number of hand knit socks in my drawer :)
ReplyDeleteThey inspire me too when I see them all lined up together in this way, it makes me want to knit more and more.
DeleteMy goodness, a sight for sore eyes, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey do look pretty when they're lined up all together.
DeleteThey do look great Jo, a colourful mix, nice to see.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Choosing the yarn for my handmade socks is such a joy, there's so much variety.
DeleteThey do indeed. Maybe we'll have an early winter and then a sunny Spring! x
ReplyDeleteI'd much prefer it the other way round, a sunny winter and an early spring.
DeleteSuch cute socks - just right for the falling temperatures.
ReplyDeleteI'm so grateful for my lovely squishy socks now that the cold weather's arrived.
DeleteI like to see any laundry drying on a washing line but this is special, Jo. Such an amazing photo of your beautiful socks.

I don't think you can beat line dried washing. The socks look even nicer when they're being dried by the sun.
DeleteIf washing has to be drying indoors then let it all be as cheery and colourful as your socks!
ReplyDeleteLisa x
I agree. I'm already fed up of seeing towels and sheets hanging around indoors, roll on spring.
