Hurrah! The bamboo socks are finished, cast on for the next pair! Actually hold your horses on that second point. I'm hopefully teaching a sock knitting class this weekend or next so might hold off on the second set to have something to demonstrate with. Speaking of sock yarn though, have a look at this:
Ok so the yellow is a bit mad looking but overall its not too bad. What would you be thinking though if you got part way through, with no prior notice and found this pink though!
I've got to admit I've not used Noro before and from what I've seen up to now I'm not a fan. Mad colour changes like this, balls of the same colourway that you'd never guess were supposed to be the same, and if I'm honest, I just don't like the yarn that much either. Ho hum lets see what it knits like.
On an utterly unrelated note I've frogged the Debbie Bliss Luxury Donegal Tweed coat I knitted last winter! I've worn it once, feel like a huge lump when it's on, hate the way it stretches under its own weight (the fault of the stitch not the yarn I hasten to add) and hated more than anything how much it cost to knit for it to sit there unloved. It has been a long year coming but I finally took it to pieces... and oddly feel far better for it. Now I just need to get a copy for the pattern I should have done the first time!
All washed, now I just need to rewind it into balls ready to knit.
