I finished these up yesterday afternoon - all that was left was the bind off - and Rob put them on right away. I love the way they turned out. They are just so cozy looking. Rob says they are nice and snug.

I still love this yarn. Every time I worked on these I just marvelled at the colour. There are so many blues but they are so beautifully blended that there is never one that seems to strong. The colours definitely follow each other but somehow never make stripes. I will have to try more of these yarns; there are so many colours and we can't have too many pairs of hand made socks.

*If you are interested in the ribbing pattern I posted it earlier here.

Sitting outside to knit in the afternoon. The second sock ready to bind off but the needle and scissors are inside.

This is another project from Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts. The needle book but with a couple of variations because I didn’t want a printed label and really wanted a snap (I’m really into snaps right now). It won’t be staying here though – this little book is going to go for a trip and land on someone else’s sewing table. I hope she likes it.
