Summer update

Knitting news!
I cast on my girl on fire colourway by the yarn tree, it seemed appropriate considering the recent weather lol I've been struggling in the heat, as has my son.
I made my cousin a pair of socks, these are a thank you for looking after mums dog whilst we were away.
I made my first intended hat for the homeless, this is the chamber of secrets hat, knit with acrylic DK .
Another intended hat for the homeless, the staggered hat, knit with a multicoloured and black fingering weight yarns held together.
I made my friend the 2 color socks, I used drops fabel. Only one in the picture as I posted her one to check the fit before casting on the second lol
I've made my Slytherin socks, yarn is from London house yarn, I will eventually have all four houses :)
I made some regia socks, heel is knit with drops fabel. I love how these turned out :)
I made another hat for the homeless, knit with aran oddments. It's rather bright so I'm wondering if I should over dye it a darker colour...
Goodies!
I won a skein of biffsugar yarn from the Mel Browne podcast. Love the colour, it's called lowther.
Mel kindly sent me some nice stitch markers too, these are so cute :)
I bought some souvenir yarn on holiday, a regia and two opals :)
I also found some cute project bags for a really good price :)
My mum bought me this selkie bookmark from a pop up artist shop in Castle Douglas coz I loved it :)
And the same day I got that I saw this beautiful skein of yarn called selkie, so of course I had to have it, it felt like fate lol
I won these minis and roman replica pendant on thr bakery bears patreon only podcast drawing :) I was thrilled :)
Embroidery!
I made a 4" fish pond for my friend who really liked it.
It reminded her of a tile she'd bought from an artist whilst away.
Happy Crafting!
