He was very pleased when I delivered them and I came home with about 500 g of different handspun, half of which is New Zealand lustre, much finer and softer with a very silky feel so maybe a scarf. Again I’ll pass the end product back to my neighbour for his charity. He did tell me he spins more yarn than he can ever use, even considering his wife is an accomplished weaver, so perhaps my own stash isn’t going to reduce much for a while.
Meanwhile in Italy i successfully used up a lot of yarn oddments to make 3 pairs of socks, some more odd than others.
And a pair of my favourite ever socks, West Yorkshire Spinners wood pigeon, I can never have too many pairs of these. That all feels quite productive if all completely unwearable as our heatwave continues.
I love home knitted socks and have loads of pairs, i made one pair in three ply, not worn them yet.

Your knitted work is all beautiful. I aspire to be as accomplished as you are! I have one cowl languishing on the needles, I need my mojo back! I'm drooling over your socks.

That is a lovely way of using up yarn and I agree with you the thick yarn is difficult to find a pattern for.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful socks. I would be hard pressed to choose a favourite but it would probably be the wood pigeon. Such comical yet beautiful birds.
