A very colourful pair of socks to celebrate the first day of Spring

These were knitted in Austermann Step shade 0219 – very soft and a quick knit!

Good morning February. Please be kind – January was too sad. X

Wishing everyone a very happy and healthy new year. I look forward to knitting along with you in 2016.

A cheeky breakfast at Cote Restaurant on this marvellous sunny Sunday!

Followed by a brisk walk to see how the countryside is doing

Then home to photograph another pair of socks ticked off – Surprise socks knitted with guess what Opal Surprise shade 4064.

I can’t help but think these look better in the photo than in the real – they seem a little washed out.
Maybe me!

Enjoy. xx

2015’s Rainforest XI range from Opal where all the animals represent law enforcement has arrived or should I say “cops and robbers”! Maybe I should collect them all and help save the Rainforests at the same time! Apparently over 147,000 euros over the last 10 years has been donated to this good cause and all thanks to us sock knitters!

What a lovely set of sock yarn and they have it on special over at Knitting in Newbury.

Two pairs all finished and ready for the colder days

I hope you are having a great week-end.

Life has just dealt me a series of super busy cards recently and I’ve had very little time to knit. Must sort things out!

My first sock with Fortissima Colori Socka cotton stretch

and knit our way through it!
