Finished and wearing!

In the stash:
Ok. Not autumnal colours at all in that last one. But it is number 3 in my list of fine things to do with a day in London. Go to Loop! Its a fabulous place. This one ball of sock yarn is ALL I BOUGHT. I know. Hard to believe. My only yarn purchase of the whole year.

How on earth did you get out with just one ball? My enabling skills are getting rusty.
Hi Ruth,I just love the gloves. Must admit my 2009 has started with a couple of nice projects! With two new specially designed pieces. Wow, as to leaving Loop with only one ball… you were good, very restraint; I think my CC would have taken a hammering! I don’t know if you have seen the new knitting magazine? – The Knitter. I was lucky enough to spy it in Asda, although it’s not cheap at £5.99 it does give some brill info. patterns and techniques, I personally feel it’s worth the money and has got to the best knitting mag on the UK market. I did check out their website, (sadly, no current info) but found this link on The Guardian website.http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/nov/18/future-knitter-launch Happy Knitting for 2009!
