Socks in Handspun

No. 8

"Go with the flow" socks from Interweave's Favorite Socks book, with 2.25mm needles and my own hand spun and jelly dyed merino.

Month Catchup

To prove I have been knitting here's a belated update of my progress to 52in52.
No. 7
Forest Canopy Shawl: in love with this pattern and I chain plyed the merino to keep the beautiful colours separated.


No. 6
Amelia's scarf: it was some coloured roving I purchased online, and was quite dissappointed how bright the colours were, but that was nothing I couldn't deal with because Amelia loved the colours. My problem was that parts of it had felted during the dying process, so I struggled on regardless and made a nice slubby yarn.
