One pair of socks for my daughter finished. The yarn is Dream in Color Starry in the colour "Milky Spite" (Sprite? Although the label says spite).
Such a pretty skein with its silver sparkle and soft pastel pinks and greens. My daughter loved it. So did I.. initially.
Such a disappointment then, to see it knitted up and looking so insipid. The colour of goose-bumped skin you might say. Not a flattering topper to a little girls boot. Still.. it is a pair done for school camp, off my queue!
I used only 50% of the skein. Since I did a little dyeing this weekend, I over dyed it with purple. Its now prettier! The silver thread pops (not that my photo shows this very well) and the purple is a semisolid. I think my daughter will love another pair of socks from this.
Next I wound a lovely skein from Augustbird. The colour was a pre-order called Songbird. With much enthusiasm, I bought two.
I cast on for my daughter.
I will share this skein with my friend who has a daughter the same age and the second skein will go into stash for myself some time in the future.
I still have socks in queue. Life is still packed full of must-do and urgent tasks. Sock knitting is proving very calming.
I have fabric cut out and a range of crafts put aside for the forthcoming school holidays at the beginning of December.
I will be soap making and screen printing too. Can't wait for some freedom to get stuck in to that!
