Travelling projects

I knitted 25 pairs of socks since arriving in Australia. This included one pair I started before leaving Melb but I finished here in NZ.

...I guess you could say it is addictive...but right now I only have one pair that are looking for a home... So people love to receive them!

The Latest!

I sent this picture to the recipient for these socks and her comment was that the cat (Babe) looks like he's doing a quality control inspection!

This yarn is from Loopy of course.
The yarn is called Socktopus and the colour is Queenie. It is out of stock now as the yarn is terrific and the colours that were stocked were splendid. There are only a few colours left.
I used This free pattern fromKnitty.
They were to fit a small foot so I used smaller needles. let's hope they're not too small!

Green Frog Socks

I can't think of a better name as they have pretty bright lime flecks making them look like a rather pretty frog you might find in the Amazon jungle.

From my favorite yarn supplier

A bouncy 100% super wash wool from Dragon Fiber.

I've used this yarn before and I'm rather fond of it - I'm also rather fond of dragons (being one myself at times)😺.

Pattern was a freebie from Knitty

I guess a "home" will turn up.

A spontaneous purchase!

This yarn is 100% merino Australian yarn, soft to work with and still quite strong.

The cuff down proved to be "stressful" as I only had just enough to finish!!!

However they're a nice fit ... Just toooo snug for M but ok for me...



...more will be revealed...
