Knitting not yarn..............................

I'm actually posting a finished knit rather than another skein of yarn! Now to cast on for my MonkeySwap socks :) Tomorrow!

March socks.............................

I finally grafted the last toe last night. The new wooden blockers are lovely. They are the second 'extra' in the Socktopus Bells and Whistles Sock Club. There is a lovely cut-out motif of a ball of yarn and needles, thank you Alice.

The socks are No Purl Monkeys in Posh Yarns Emily ~ Pomegranate. Dpns 2.75mm and a 14 stitch pattern instead of 16 stitches. The cuff is a 2x2 rib instead of twisted rib. I just think it suits the yarn better. :)


I also finished the first of another pair of No Purl Monkeys in Fiesta Baby Boomerang ~ Rainforest. Dpns 2.5mm and a full 16 stitch pattern. This sock also has a 2x2 rib cuff. :) I really like this yarn, it is sleek and well twisted, a bit like STR or Jitterbug. As you can see, no pooling either. I got the yarn from The Loopy Ewe.
One more sock to go and then to cast on for my Monkey Sock Swap 4 socks. :)

Feels like nothing much to show!

Making progress on My Basic Black Cardigan. One third the way up the back now. I love Wool Cotton yarn. :)

My Posh Emily No Purl Monkeys in Pomegranate, now half way through the second sock.

And just got to the heel of my Baby Boom Monkeys in Rainforest. This yarn feels abit like Jitterbug to the touch, very tightly spun. :)
Slow but steady at the moment, I feel like the tortoise but I know I will get there :)

More socks.........................................

These socks were finished a few days ago but I have had nearly a month of the pc behaving badly so I am only now getting to post these pictures.
