Friday Pron............................................Winter Plushness Squee

First off, Happy New Year everyone. :) I hope you all had a lovely Christmas holidays, we were so relaxed that I didn't blog until this week, sorry about that but I was enjoying family time so much that blogging felt intrusive.

This week's yarn is the first installment of the Winter Squee Plushness Club by Skein Queen. This colourway is Figgy Pudding to celebrate the festive season. I love the rich deep colours in this skein.

The colours are really intense!

How many can you see?

The difference between the ends of the skeins are amazing!!


I can't wait to see how it knits up. On the knitting front I am half way throught the second of my Chatsworth socks but one sock has gone missing!!!! Damn!!!! They were meant to be a present for my lovely SiL......................................It has sort of put me off my stride, so I started another sock with different yarn, this time freestyle, we will see how that turns out soon :)

What lovely yarn :-)

A very Happy New Year to you to Gilraen.

In my experience, the missing sock will magically reappear just as soon as you have finished the repalcement pair ;-)

I feel like a kid opening a present when I visit your blog. The yarn you show is always fabulous! I am waiting for the Eclectic sock (its on back order). I've seen so many socks that you've knitted from this book that I just had to have it.

Did you make the Nicky Epstein flower scarf from the Vogue 25th anniversary? Did you need to do 47 repeats of the edging. I think it makes it too long.
