Earlier I had posted that you can now buy Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7: Spinster on my website. But I forgot to mention that for a limited time, if you buy the eBook or the paperback , you’ll also get the annotated edition eBook with Easter Eggs, behind-the-scenes tidbits, research notes, and random author commentary FREE. Once the book goes into Kindle Unlimited, I can no longer offer the annotated version on my website, so be sure to get it now before the book goes up on Amazon. 10% off coupon code for ALL BOOKS I finally got all the Lady Wynwood’s Spies regular paperbacks in my store, and if you use the coupon code website10 , you can get 10% off all the eBooks and paperback books in my shop! NOTE: If you’re waiting for the Special Edition paperbacks, those will be available in my Kickstarter later this month. Get 10% off https://camilleelliot.com/shop/
Captain's Log, Stardate 01.11.2008
Update: I also wrote out the pattern for a pair of tabi socks, or split-toe socks.
I can't help bragging a little. I just finished my first pair of toe socks (I have an unfinished pair of toe socks somewhere, but this is my first completed pair).
These are a belated (VERY belated) graduation present for one of my high school girls in the church youth group. She wanted toe socks in Slytherin colors.
I had a time finding superwash sock yarn in green and silver, and you can tell these are very different types of yarn (one is merino superwash, the other is a wool/elastic blend). But they knit up at the same gauge (almost) and look quite nice, if I say so myself.
They look a little creepy (almost like freaky alien hands). You can see the bump from the heel on the right sock.
I usedMichelle Cho's toe sock pattern Update: The previous link was taken down, but here's another that's actually a bit better: Unicornbooks.com toe socks pattern almost exactly (update: I forgot to mention that I knitted these top down rather than toe up the way Michelle did, but that's only because I personally dislike the way the heels look on toe up socks. Instead of decreasing at the base of the toes, I increased with M1 stitches. I put the stitches on a holder and knitted only a few stitches at a time for each toe. I knit the toes like she did.)--adjusting for a slight difference in gauge and wool elasticity.
Haha, let's hope they fit!

i am not a knitter and to have toes would make it hard i would think
I'm also a bit jealous of your knitting abilities. I have no idea how to knit.

if i should know my excuse is im an aussie!
Anyway, you are awesome. I bet she loves them--and AusJenny--if I'm not mistaken Slytherin refers to a house in Harry Potter and these are the colors of that house (at the school.) Am I right? Do I win?? (ha)
