Cordial - and sad socks

This week I've made about 10 litres of  Elderflower Cordial.

Yummy! Hopefully more to come - if only the sun would shine when I am in a position to collect the elderflowers.

On a sadder note there should have been another pair of sparkly socks - I have actually finished two socks, but they have both had to be partially undone. Here is one before its demise.

I had worked both socks to just past the heel, and then finished one sock. The heel was too tight and wouldn't go round the bend. So I unpicked both and redid the heels in stocking stitch instead of heel stitch hoping it would have a bit more give, and finished off one sock again, and it STILL wouldn't go round the bend! Hopefully my next heel modification will work. Maybe by next weekend there will be a pair of socks that are wearable.
