As I turned 30 this week I feel it's time that Roman Sock grew up a little too! So I am now on Facebook! Please 'like' to be kept up to date with all the latest news and other fun (and to stop me feeling alone in my old age!) Roman Sock on Facebook
I'm a bit old for Birthday pictures so here is a retro option instead!
This one even has cake!
I could smile more!
Hi everyone, Thank you so much for your appreciation over the years. Just to let you know I have relaunched the Roman Sock Shop and you can now find it at romansock.com.
I love making these quick and easy headphone creatures and thanks to the genius of LittleGreen - there is now a knitted version! Get at the Roman Sock Shop
It works in just the same way!
He loves to have fun filled frolics with his Whale and Squid friends!
He has had a brief and illicit dalliance with an egg - if you are a big boiled egg fan this is the pattern for you (I wouldn't suggest fresh... I know - this photo shoot did not end well)
The pattern is beautiful too!
Ahhh group shot!
For those of you that follow this blog - you will know I have been very unsettled over the last couple of years and it has all been rather stressful - well just about a month ago we hop skipped and jumped over to Edinburgh to change our lives.
and now we live here....
Okay - not in the big house..... but in a cottage on the grounds that used to be the estate school. I still think I am dreaming. Yes, the house needs lots of work and we lived for a month without a fridge and the internet, and it smells a little of granny wee - but somehow its not about that. It's about being outside exploring, remembering what grass smells like, and what cows sound like.
We have spent countless hours walking around and exploring this place, getting to know its secrets and it's splendours, and on our travels we have had a surprising companion. It seem our cat Boo Boo likes nothing more than to take a leisurely stroll with her owners! She is both the most amazing and silliest cat you can imagine.
In the morning, I get up draw the curtains and see deer playing in our garden - it's unearthly and so earthly all at the same time.
Although this has to be the best place I have discovered yet - Sequoia Avenue - Giant Redwoods in Scotland! What a sight to behold - I want to lie under one with my book and just while away the day.
Even when it seems absolutely impossible, rolling with the punches sometimes lands you somewhere unexpectedly delicious!
