Hello

I have caught the Blog Bug whilst experiencing a period of non employment.
Reading numerous knitting blogs to pass the time, learn new things, keep my mind off the situation and avoid the temptation of expanding my stash therapy. Love all the hand dyed yarn out there.

I have recently finished my 1st pair of socks on 5dpns, and can't wait to try other methods. I procrastinated over attempting socks for about 12 months, don't know why now. I am also working on a couple of scarves from yarn in my stash.
Other than that recent projects have been baby shoes & a bonnet. Pics to follow.

I would really like to try spinning and yarn dyeing. I have my Mum's old dutch wheel decorating my loungeroom and Mum next door, so just need to make time. There are a couple skeins of natural coloured wool in my stash that Mum spun about 20 years ago, I think I hear calling out for colour.

I have managed to get a 3 month temporary role, so hopefully now can concentrate better on more knitting projects, even though I will have less time.
