Update: getting ready for sample knits

Knitting news!
I finished the Pudsey toy for my son, I modified the ears of the Bonnie wee mouse pattern by Susan Claudino.
I finished my herbology socks with jellybeans yarns in the seahorse nebula colourway. Love these :)
I made a second Schrodinger's hat, pattern is by Sally Jane of the pink hair girl podast but it's not been realesed yet. I tested it a few weeks ago and wanted to knit it again :)
My mum loved my herbology socks, so I made her a pair in a yarn I bought for her; little French meadow sw merino/nylon in the blue bell colourway. I love how these knit up :)
No crochet or spinning news.
Goodies!
I won a project bag from the value KAL run by the knitting in stitches podcast and it arrived, love it :)
Counters ablaze was raising money for women's aid (full story can be found on her Instagram or the shiny bees audio podcast) and she released two limited colourways. I ordered "shit tea and tray bake" on DK (I may have also ordered "if I want exposure, I'll get my tits out" before her final call lol).
My second neighbo(u)rhood sheep society shipment arrived and it's lovely, colourwork is something I want to learn so this yarn will come in when I do :)
I'm going to make a few sample knits for jellybeans yarns to display at shows, so the yarn for that arrived. I've already started the knits and will show them in a separate post.
Happy Crafting!
