I need to post some pics of my recent woolly parcels.
Firstly are some sock yarns from
Monsoon Designs at
Yarncollective. Very very scrummy, I've started on the cycad (the green one) with some
Firestarter Socks, just to see how it's knitting up. That is now sitting on hold on waste yarn, because I needed the needles for my
Sheldon the Turtle I am knitting for Jessalyn.
Next is some yarn dyed by Carolyn from
Nappycino which was a part of a swap I did with her. The rainbow yarn is lambswool (I think) and the purple is some Treliske organic merino I sent her to dye co-ordinatingly (is that a word?). I might think about doing a Helena cardigan for Jessalyn out of it *maybe*. Unless another cardigan pattern rears its head and takes my fancy *wink*.

I lost my love for sock knitting. I did so halfway through my first sock of this pair. They sat for a loooooong time unknitted. Then, I decided that I like socks, I like sock yarn and therefore I need to remember to like sock knitting. Doesn't help that this was my first pair of 'real' socks (ie. ones not from 8ply *wink*), so I was knocked sideways with the amount of time it takes to knit one......then you have to turn around and do it again for a second sock!.JPG)
Anyway, I finished them. And I love them. And I'm going to knit more socks!.JPG)
Firestarter socks: Lovely pattern, lotsa fun to knit. Love the gusset detail, love the travelling stitches. Very nice. Knitted in Monsoon Designs Twisty Sock in cycad.
