Bazinga!

I finally finished my bazinga socks from the yarn tree surprise sock box ♡
I knit the vanilla latte socks on 2mm needles.
Working on the 3rd ten stitch blanket square, hoping to finish square 3 this month. I've also cast on the zuzu's petals for my mum.
Happy crafting!

Apologies!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post, I've had technology issues and time seems to be running away from me. Lots going on at home and trying to find time to get a rest once a week or two if possible, having a child that sleeps very little is rather taxing, especially as I love my sleep lol
Into the update but sadly due to a tech change I don't have all my images from the crafts I've done since new years, I will however show you the images I do have, and any ravelers can see my project pages :)
Knitting news!
I made my friend some scrappy socks from countess ablaze BFL/nylon. I made them opposite so the heels match but toes to cuff colours are switched. I really like how these turned out :)
I finished a quynn hat in felt fusion doom-pa-deedo.
I made a cookie jar hat with removable pom pom for my grandmas birthday, a pair of socks for my mum for mothers day (and a couple for me too in the yarn tree sparkle sock), I also finished a school jumper for my son and a quynn hat for him too in laal bear BFL.
I started another pair of socks but sadly did too much all at once and had to stop for a few weeks. These are still on the needles and will hopefully be finished this month, they're in the surprise sock box colourway (bazinga) from the yarn tree.
Spinning news!
I finished spinning the fibre given to me in the magic swap, the pink & green single was spun on my spindle, the green shades single on my wheel and plied on my wheel too, I got 94m from 41g
I started spinning the rolags from my xmas swap package on one of my spindles too, and will likely ply it on my wheel.
Goodies!
I took part in a minis swap and my partner was the lovely Jennie (from the owl about yarn podcast and etsy shop), these are what she sent me, all different brands and bases to try :)
Sadly my yarn box pictures are missing in my tech change over but all past boxes can be found on the yarn tree blog.
Hope life is treating you all well.
Happy Crafting!
