Socks Finally Finished
On 9 January I finally finished the socks that I started last year. I spun 100g of merino and silk and then started knitting. I soon realised that I didn't have enough wool to finish the socks, so I had to match the colour as closely as I could and spin some more. There are lots of variations in colour throughout the socks, so the colour change to the newly spun slightly different colour is not as noticeable. I actually finished them late last year but had to finish off the loose threads. I entered them in the show and managed a second in the handspun garment section. Now the winter can bring on the cold and my ankles will be cosy.
