The end of 2016

Knitting news!
I finished my nieces patchwork Weasley socks, I have to say, I didn't love these, but I hope she does :) and fingers crossed they'll fit lol

The pattern didn't turn out how I'd hoped so I just did 1 repeat and then switched to stocking stitch.

I made my mum a tree decoration :) I used the snowball buddies pattern by Susan Claudino.

I finished my 12th pair of socks for myself :) I used felt fusion sw merino/nylon in the geeks aurora colourway :)

I cast on my Dobby's odd socks number 2, I knit them consecutively till after the heels then put them on 1 cord. I love these colours :)

Spinning news!
There is non :( soon, I hope :)
Goodies!
My awesome best friend made me some Jack Skellington baubles...

And bells :) how freaking cool are these :)

The lovely Mel bought me a personalised necklace with autism awareness charm for my 30th :)

I won a Christmas necklace from bakewell hearts and she included some minis too, very generous, and pretty, also the first dye candy yarns I can try :)

My surprise Christmas box off my mum, put together by Mel of the yarn tree. It's awesome, I love the yarn and such cute extras :)

I opened my Norah George advent calendar every day and it was so much fun.
Days 1-12

 Days 13-24

On day 25 the 100g skein was this beauty. The minis I'm going to arrange by base and hopefully make more frankensocks :)

I ordered some luxury yarn from countess ablaze, alpaca/silk/cashmere 4ply, it's ridiculously soft, definitely to be worn on the neck :) I also got more of the stardust corriedale, as my son loves his handspun hat in it :)

Hope you've all had a good 2016, and happy crafting for 2017!
