VINTER BLE VAREN......well almost!

Actually it's not long till Spring makes an appearance (or is that me being very optimistic!) but I guess I'm gearing myself up by knitting lots of pretty little bits and bobs in preparation, as there's nothing like being prepared (you can tell I was a brownie! LOL)

Anyhow, here's my latest offerings adorning the paws of all my lovely friends in a host of glorious muted spring colours!

As you can see, when it snowed here, I hibernated and did lots of knitting!

The new colours from Rowans Pure Wool 4Ply are just adorable, lovely pale colours which are a delight to knit with!

And then there's these little mamas.......





Fake socks or legwarmers - you decide!


It's my ambition to really get to grips with making socks this year.....well it was last year also, but I got sidetracked! LOL. But seriously, I have master using small DPNS, as I just find them very fiddly and if something's not perfect, then I will keep frogging until I get it right, which usually drives me mad in the process, but to me, it's not easy making sure you don't get 'ladders' when using smaller needles - guess I need to attend a sock workshop and soon!

So then, where was I? oh yes, these little offerings above are what you could call 'fake socks' as I tend to wear them with chunkier ankle socks, to keep my feet warm, whereas these are very light, so I can wear them tucked into my boots, without creating too much bulkiness on the leg!


However, they do look good as legwarmers also - just not slouchy ones!


Hope you like them.....



Spring has almost sprung! :-)
