My creative space

Rhabarber and Rhubarb

My creative space this week is NOT in the rhubarb patch. I'm just showing off my rhabarber socks. But I have been working on these socks on the sofa when I get the time. I think I've come a-cropper in the instructions somewhere between the leg and the gusset, but I might have just worked out a fudge so it'll be OK.

I hope.

Take a look at other creative spaces, rhubarb-filled or not.

Wow...of course you might as well be speaking dutch with all that gusset/leg business but it looks fabulous to me.

Amanda said...

Looking good and comfy :)...Love the colors as well!

Kate said...

If they have a gusset does that mean they are tights? I love that you photograhed them in the rhubarb patch.

Now I've come over all bewildered. I didn't know socks had a gusset. And 'gusset' is a terrible word - the same as 'crotch'. I always link the two, which is why I'm feeling all uncomfy-like.

Gorgeous wool, lovely socks though, (I'm squinting past the gusset/crotch!).

Michelle said...

You girls are so funny! The gusset is just the part under the heel that comes "in" and gives the sock shape!!

You have just reminded me to get off my laptop and get outside in the garden! It's a beautiful day and I need to get the vegie garden happening. The word gusset just cracks me up for some reason...! xo

Sally said...

I adore the colours.
... and how lucky are you to have a rhubarb patch!

Kylie said...

That is a fabulous sock, even gusset-less it's fab. Love the yarn :) K

The rhubarb looks delicious too. are you going to make pie?

thornberry said...

That is such yummy yarn. The socks are coming along beautifully.

Gina said...

If I could marry any vegetable, it would be rhubarb.

Pippi creates said...

The rhubarb certainly shows off how scrumptiously rhubarby those socks are going to be. You might have to make a pastry skirt to match. Or something...

Christina Lowry said...

I love the rhubarb socks on the rhubarb plant! Fingers crossed your cheat works! :)

Nettle & Brier said...

Lovely, your creative space makes me hungry for rhubarb and cinnamon jam on turkish bread. Yum.

Gusset of grief aside, the rhubarb patch socks look great! Honestly, all I can really think about right now looking at all that rhubarb is a rhubarb crumble... mmmm!!

Rose Red said...

Perfectly named colour and perfect pattern for the yarn! Glad you found a fudge for the pattern, I always try to do that too, better than ripping (although slightly naughty!!)

How do you have time to fit all these other crafts in? Still look for wonderful tiny and full size quilts each year. G'day from Megan
