Copper Yarn for CoppaTop

What a lovely surprise to get home on Sunday after working 7 days straight and find a message for me a Ravelry to say I'd won the first round of the Super Special Six Pattern Sock Club 2011 prize. I'd totally forgotten about the prize draw. So here it is from Ailsa at Knitabulous. I was thrilled that it was a solid colour, have been hanging out for some good quality solid colour yarn, but have been very strong. I love it! Think it will be destined for a Cookie A pattern.

I was saving my birthday and Christmas money ( and money from doing online surveys) for a E-Reader. The Sony one I want ran out of stock just after release and there's no definite date for more to arrive in the country. So I weakened with Angus & Roberton's recent 30% off sale and bought these.



Bit disappointed with the Knit & Wrap, a lot of very chunky stuff, nice but no way I could wear it.

Hot and Muggy and Dugald is not impressed, rain keeps threatening but not happening.

Nearly finished sleepy bears but put it down to start Nutkins for Super Special Six Pattern Sock Club 2011 and also had to wait for some cotton to arrive.

Up to the toe on first Nutkin , they are turning out really small on 2.5mm with Spotlight Noir, so will have to a present. Only did 6 repeats of pattern before heel to keep the leg short enough. Like the pattern, it's easy and looks like cable. Doing lots of OT and feeling a bit off colour, so slow progress all round.
