December Already!

Time is flying along scary hey?
Been poorly with a stinky cold and normal time of year aches and pains, so sitting and knitting is about all I have managed to do.


Scroll socks from my 3ply hand-dyed, hand-spun yarn.                  

Love 3 ply for socks and this pattern worked well with the yarn


Did my normal toe up style with reinforced heel, st pattern from More Sensational Knitted Socks    
This was my first dyeing with acid dyes and love how the yarn turned out

Oh there is another knit done, can't show as its a Christmas pressie (don't think the person will read this but not taking any chances lol)

Got another 3ply hand spun on the needles, no photos put on hold, while I knit for Anni a gorgeous sweater in beautiful Manos Silk Blend yarn.. the colours are beautiful as is the yarn.. its for a magazine, so there won't be photos of that either.

I have decided, going to keep this blog and give up the other, don't update enough to pay for hosting etc so this suits me for now.

Till next time.. take care
