I ordered some white over-knee socks last week. 80% cotton, 18% nylon, 2% lycra elastane. I also bought some multi-purpose Dylon dye. They became good friends.

They started like this...



Then I boiled them up in a pan..



Then I washed them..



And they were hung out to dry. I washed them again and then let them dry some more. And so today, fully dry and well dyed, I decided to start work on making them more Komugi-ish!

Because the socks are.. well.. socks, it's hard to sew stuff onto them, but I didn't want to sharpie anything on them (since.. well.. being honest, sharpied Komugi socks never look all that great. Just being honest!). So instead with the help of Shido the motifs have been sewn on by hand whilst on my leg :D so far I have 1 little star and the moon sewn onto one sock, and a pile of small stars and a great big star for the other sock cut out and ready.

Here's how the first sock looks so far! (and yes this is on the wrong leg lol.)



If both socks turn out as good as the first two motifs have, I will be very very happy indeed ^____^
