Bank Holiday

Just loaded some new yarn onto the website (Debbie Bliss's newest yarn called Milano) - then I am going to spend the rest of the day catching up on my knitting tasks but mainly spinning some alpaca blanket - lovely to work with. So what do I do with all this fab fibre I am making fro myself? Well I have recently knitted some socks from hand spun wool and here they are:

These are made from Blue Faced Leicester and I am a proud mummy of these little babies!

I spun the colours and then plied with a light blue - so they have a marled look to them. My photo does not really do the colours justice but they are bright blue and orange - such a good colour combination and one which all those Michaelmas Daisies just opening up seem to have understood for years.
