I'm back to my Blog after a week's holiday at half-term in
Fuengirola, Andalusia. We drove to Belfast airport in Sleet and icy road conditions and spent the next week either on the beach, in t-shirts and shorts, or at
Fuengirola Zoo. I recommend the Zoo as well worth a visit if you are in the area. The fact that they have had so many offspring born to the inhabitants there speaks for itself. The Zoo had just re-opened when we first visited it in 2004, I was expecting my second child then and it was lovely to bring him back there and show him all the animals he had visited before but was unaware of............
While on holiday I started a new pair of socks. These are
Rivendells by
Janel Laidman and are being knitted in the lovely Iona Sportweight from
Mackintosh Yarns.

They are so soft!

The socks looks great! Lovely colours! I haven´t been to Fuengirola but to Marbella and Malaga and it´s really nice down there!! Lovely people and soo warm and nice. Seems like you had a great time there.
Sounds like the perfect way to avoid our recent weather:o)
Your socks are just beautiful (as always!). I love the pair you made for SiL.
Gorgeous socks
Sounds like a relaxing and soothing vacation. Great socks (as always). The rich fall colors in that sock tie in with the photo I posted on my blog of a tree in fall colors. (I had misplaced my Eclectic Sole book, but have just located it, so I will be working on my socks again very soon)
I went to Fuengirola wiht my grandparents when I was 12, wow, that's a long time ago now, although I'm not revealing how long.
Love that purple colour and your finished socks look great.
I've nominated you for an award. Check out my blog ina few minutes, got to finish my blog post first. lol
Love the autumnal colours in the ribbed socks :-)
Glad you had a good holiday! That purple pattern is so beautiful!
