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. :)

YPF...........................Loopy Groupy Package

Todays YPF comes from the parcel entering me into Loopy Groupies. The yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy in Deep Sea Flower. I love the intense greeny purple/blues of the yarn. The parcel arrived before Christmas but was put to one side with all the business of the Holidays.







All those vibrant colours!!




This was the yarn I received as my welcome present, it's lovely Sheri, thank you!

Gratuitous yarn pic..............................

I'm on a heavy training course this week................6am start and 6-7pm finish all week. The light is no good before I leave and no good when I get home to take pictures, so here is a yarn pr0n pic to relieve the white/text. There is some knitting going on but not a lot and no progress report/pic for Wednesday.............

This is Fiesta Yarns Boomerang in Rhubarb, it is so so so soft.
