Promised Mum I would make her some socks so whilst we were at the Brighton Show and in the "Web of Wool" stand, she chose the yarn to make these:
Its Fortissima Sock Wool with Bamboo, its lovely to work with and as it knits up, has a slight sheen to it.
I have also cast on for these (not a brilliant picture I'm afraid!) I had some beige sock yarn in my stash and wanted a pattern that would stand out against the colour...
Bayerische Socks. It is not a difficult pattern to follow...just fiddly! Unfortunately, I can't concentrate on them when my dear children are up as they insist on talking to me (I know they have a cheek don't they? :-) So, I figured I would run a project alongside so I could listen and nod in all the right places without having to concentrate too much on what I was doing. Hence, this!
Yep! Forest Canopy #2! However, this time I am following the chart instead of the written row by row instructions and it is so much easier! I finally figured, if I could read music, I could read a chart!
I have to admit, I cannot put this down...so...my Bayerische is waiting to be picked up again this weekend :-)
Finally, before I go, let me share with you the prize I received from Simply Knitting all the way from Australia...
Its enough yarn to knit a teapot cosy, the pattern for which was kindly supplied. I do not own a teapot so am now wondering what else I can do with this gorgeous yarn! Possibly mittens?
