Socking Happy!

This is sock themed!

My addiction to socks is continuing, and I'm so pleased to say my sock yarn collection is actually growing!

These are my latest finished socks, and I simply refer to them as "The 5th's".

A lovely simple vanilla sock in self striping yarn!

Im currently working on these colourful things:

They are called "Broken Seed Stitch" socks and you can find the free pattern by clicking on the name. They are a great way to use up a coloured yarn you might not be that happy with and give it a new lease of life with a solid colour. You can see loads of great examples on the project page from the link!

Several months ago, I posted about my immediate passion for some amazing Pumpkin Socks I had come across...you can read that blog post and see the pictures here....

Then finally, I had some yarn delivered that will be perfect for them:

And I really don't think I will be able to wait until this October to make them!

On top of all that, I have been enjoying a major "surf" on Ravelry, and have gathered quite a few favourite socks that I would love to work my way through...

I had some lovely sock yarn delivered the other day to make the Leaf socks that are on the second row there (Click on the name for the link).

Could be perfect for a Spring KAL?!
I've also been looking up suppliers of UK hand dyed sock yarn. My current favourite is The Knitting Goddess.

And her sock yarns are the dye (haha!) for!
Feast your eyes on this bundle of pure joy, which I ordered as soon as I laid my beady eyes on them:

It came in the most beautifully wrapped purple paper and the colours are beyond gorgeous. It is a wool and Nylon mix 4ply sock yarn and the colour name is "Flower Power". Now to decide on a pattern to do that colours justice....

Ah! So much yarn, so little time!!!

Thats all for now. Until next time, you take care now x
