Very late update

Knitting news!
This image is a little out of date but I've been working on my second blanket square for my son, it's now got the yellow and am on the last round of green :) pattern is the ten stitch blanket (free on ravelry) and I'm using cascade 220 quatro.
I made some vanilla latte socks using the yarn tree we're all mad here, and I love them, the colours look really good together and I made the heel deeper so they fit better too :)
I cast on these bootstrap socks on new years day using the yearn tree rule Britannia colourway, I like how the pooling is opposite at the ankles :) also I altered the pattern slightly by doing a heel flap and gusset instead of the heel as described in the book (sock architecture).
I've cast on another pair of socks and been winding yarn for other planned project but just not got much knitting done :)
Spinning news!
There is none sadly, hard to spin with the little one home and how busy it was over xmas but then he's gone back and I've just been sooo tired I feel like I haven't done anything.
Goodies!
My large order from the yarn tree arrived, along with my birthday project bag :) lots of beautiful colours, and a couple new bases too :) I love it all :)
Sorry for the quick update but it's been a long few weeks and just wanted you to know I'm still here, just busy and tired (my son has decided that 3:30/4am is the best time to wake up and I'm really not functioning well with so little sleep).
Happy Crafting!
