I finished knitting my first pair of socks using my own
hand spun yarn. I am very proud of these:)
The fibre was organic Falkland tops purchased in a
Rav destash. It is dyed by
Mandacrafts and sold in her
Etsy store.
These are for a Yule gift:) The colour changes remind me a little of
Noro yarn but of course I don't tie knots in and add a completely different colour change as
Noro do. The colour is Heather and it does remind me of hillsides full of heather.

I also finished some spinning. This is also
Mandacrafts Falkland fibre, colourway purples. There is 194gm here and I spun 599 yards from it.A little better than double knit thickness I think? I love it and I don't yet know what it will be knit as, watch this space.

We have still got a white skating rink for a road but the main roads are now all but clear. Hope it stays like this for Christmas day as we are invited to friends a little distance from here.

Amber, These socks make look like they would be wonderful for cold toes. The color is beautiful and so is the new yarn. You are a wonder everyday. Whoever receives the socks will LOVE them.
they are so pretty! Those colours are deliciously soft and cosy looking.
Have a very happy Christmas Amber!
GORGEOUS!
