He looks great

can I ask where did you get your football socks?
I have been asked to make a few in team colours ( blue and white and red and white) and cannot find any sock in the colours striped. So these football socks would be great.

They are from a pack of 3 from peacocks for £2.50

black/white
grey/blue
grey/green

all footballs shapes like the ones above.

Hi

Just thought I would mention, the last 2 packs of ladies socks I've bought from Tesco have been £2 at the till(says £3 on the pack). There are no signs to say that they are reduced from £3 to £2 but hey I'm not complaining! Just thought I would share in case anybody wants to get some as I think they are a bargain at about 67p ish each and they are decent quality.

I'll have to have another look in Tesco at the weekend, perhaps I missed some somewhere. I used to live in Catterick and went to Boyes frequently and yes its fantasti for crafty bits, however I'm now in Surrey and we don't have any Boyes near here.
Anyway, I've finished my second one now so here he is! My DS is currently tucked up in bed with both of them as I speak! If anyone's wondering why he has odd ears it because my DS was messing about with one and it mysteriously vanished. So I had to make another one out of the tiny scrap of sock I had left lol!

Yeah you sew them inside out then turn and stuff and then do running stitch around to give abit of shape.
