Knitting news!
I decided to knit up some hand spun, this is the merino 2ply in the storm colourway, and I love how it looks caked up :)
I cast on 95sts on 5mm needles and made the handbrake cowl, I ran out of yarn with 5sts to go so had to yarn match to finish the bind off, considering it's hand spun I think I matched pretty well.
I cast on a super chunky ten stitch blanket using some left overs from toy knits, I'm using 5.5mm needles and could probably do with bigger ones but I don't have bigger in short straights.
I cast on the close to you scarf/shawl in the yarn tree merino/nylon sock yarn in the goofy colourway, it's looking really nice :)
I'm still working on the espresso macchiato socks in Nicole C. Mendez with WYS poppy seed heels, this is sock 2.
