So sorry it's been so long, had some technically difficulties...AKA I killed my phone lol
Knitting news!
I finished the big brown bear socks, I love them, though sadly I cannot seem to get a good picture of the colours. The yarn is from Norah George on her sparkle base with non sparkle heel :) I used the Hermione's everyday socks pattern on 2mm needles.
I made a tiny acht the octopus in octopus vulgaris yarn from mothy and the squid :) I love this so much :)
I finished a queenscrown hat (by north bound knitting) in my handspun yarn, it's too busy to show the pattern really but my son still likes it :)
I've also finished some socks in countess ablaze yarn, her BFL/nylon sock base (Lady Persephone), I love these colours; the green is a one of a kind and the yellow was left overs from the sock club I signed up to a while ago in (exile was the colourway). I used the Hermione's everyday socks pattern on 2mm needles.
My uncles cushion is growing, and I quite like it, it's too complicated to knit whilst at knit n natter but it's good to knit with a film or podcast in the background. I still need the key for the cables but I think it's going well now. Wish I had time to make him both in the set but one will have to do :) pattern is the reunion cushions by sockmatician on ravelry.
Spinning news!
I finally plied the alex punis, 101g 174m of a 2ply. Fibre was from fondant fibre and is so pretty in person, my camera really can't pick up the depth and subtleties but I love it :)

Other crafty news!
I've made a few more cards, mostly xmas ones, my friend let me use her embossing powders again :)
I feel like I'm on a go slow at everything, just hoping I get the few things I need for xmas done in time and anything else is a bonus :)
I've started going to a yoga class once a week and I'm enjoying it :) if I keep going I'll invest in a yoga mat rather than keep borrowing one :)
I went to a cafe in Manchester with my friends, it charges by the minute and you can eat and drink as much as you want from their selection. It was fun and we all left super full lol I think we might go again lol it's called ziferblat if anyone is interested, I believe they also have one in Liverpool and London.
Happy Crafting!
