Long update, but a bit of everything

Sorry it's a long one lol a bit of everything :)
Knitting news!
I finished my Hagrid socks, colourway is wild, wild west by fondant fibre.
123 cotton washcloth for my friends first grandchild. 
ABC cotton washcloth for my friends first grandchild.
I also finished my diagon alley socks with opal minis from my advent calendar. The pattern is by Mina Philipp of the knitting expat podcast.
Rather disappointed that there were 2 knots in 1 mini and a knot in a second mini. I can understand it in 100g skeins but 15g is ridiculous.
I cast on for a test knit, the pattern isn't ready yet but they're toe up and I'm doing the foot plain so I'm getting a head start. I'm using West Yorkshire spinners signature 4ply, and I'm making them opposites.
I'm currently working on the grand central socks from the knitting expats New York sock club. I'm using more opal minis and I'm really loving the red/green colourway, wish I had a full skein :)
I'm also working on another cal & mari squid as part of my crafty pay it forward.
Spinning news!
I started some Norboo fibre from fondant fibre in the whispering gold colourway.
Pyrography!
I did some more cork coasters, some are double sided as I'm still practicing. I quite like how these look :)
Small wood chip runes :) I'd quite like to make a whole set :)
A double sided toadstool oval, it'll probably become a keyring.
A stenciled cork coaster :) Fiddly to get used to stencils but it was fun having a go :)
Card making!
I used my gorjuss stamps and embossing powder, I think these are so cute :) I'm quite enjoying making them, though sometimes I still get small smudges or the stamp doesn't fully print properly.
Poppy wood mini stamp.
Little red mini stamp.
Little friend, medium stamp.
Little friend and the fox medium stamps.
Gorjuss mini stamps used: the runaway, toadstool, awashed, the owl, I love you little rabbit, and little song. I also used the medium toadstools stamp :)
Happy Crafting!
