Birthday Gifts (Handkerchief & Socks)

I completed the edging a couple of days ago, and we are now back from our travels so here it is:










Here is how I attached my edging this time:  I used a couple of tiny stitches to fasten down each picot to the handkerchief edge.  To travel between picots, I pushed my needle inside the hem and popped it back out in line with the next picot.



I also finished the socks
which are to be given with the hanky
(they are now being blocked)






Whilst working on the tatted border, I had to refill my shuttle several times and some may wonder how to join new thread and hide ends when working with just one shuttle and bare threads so I thought it would be a good idea to make a new video.  I'm working on it today and should have it uploaded later on.

Best wishes,
Frivole

    Beautiful edging, and lovely sock,
    You have inspired me to finish my handy, I keep it in my handbag for when I am waiting usually in the hospital for appointments, it's been there for ages, time to get it finished.

    When I first Saw the hanky, i thought it's so lovely but those socks are just as beautiful! As someone who is working with bare threads right now I really look forward to your video!

    The tatted edging on that hanky is so lovely! Your video is absolute genius! That is why I follow you!
    Nothing like a great pair of hand knit lace socks.

    Hmm, I would love to receive such a hankey, and to make on as well, actually!
    Lovely!
