The first socks of 2014 are off the needles.
I love working with Noro yarn, the colours are wonderful and the finished article a joy to wear.
These are knitted in Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn, colour 8
and there is some discussion regarding ownership…
Keeping up with sock requirements for folk around here isn’t easy for a slow knitter like me but a second pair have been started in colour 369.
Meanwhile there are now Badgers on cushions and I hope to update my Etsy shop on Sunday.

Well done, I have socks (or rather the wool to make socks) that have been languishing for years…I love Noro too but v. expensive, isn’t it?

It is expensive but there are some good finds on Ebay as long as you are happy with limited choice of colours. There really is nothing so nice to wear on your feet as hand knitted socks but I do have trouble keeping up with demand. This is an excellent book if you need one http://www.annbuddknits.com/books/getting-started-knitting-socks
