More gloves

The gloves I've knitted for the craft fayres proved so popular that I don't have enough for my Christmas presents! Yesterday I had to buy more Rowan felted tweed and started knitting...

Socks

I am in a socks knitting mood at the moment.
Last month I made this pair:

Although there are loads of free socks patterns on internet and Ravelry in particular, I love books so I bought this one last week. I received it yesterday and I am going to use one of the pattern (and the next pair of socks will probably be the one on the cover).

I am using my basic toe-up pattern and will be knitting some fancy legs.

I am using Socrates SuperSock merino from Violet Green. It is a very soft wool, a pleasure to knit with and my feet can't wait to wear them ;o)

Lantern

Yesterday I took my lantern home!
I bought it a while ago as a candle lantern but I wanted to turn it into a proper lamp so it needed wiring. So after I made some stained glass panels to replace the plain clear glass ones I had to wait a little for it to be ready.
The wait was worth it, it looks great and I love it :o)
