Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

FatCat · Posted: Wed Nov 07, 2007 12:03 pm Post subject: FatCat's November Veronicas

These are for Mr FC, so over 68 stitches with a slipstitch heel and plenty of foot rows - mindless telly knitting Very Happy

The yarn is Opal Rainforest 3 in Veronica die Wilde - as chosen by Mr FC. It's actually much brighter than it looks in the photo, very 80s acid green Shocked

Haven't cast the second one on yet, but got lots of travelling to do in the next few couple of weeks so it will travel with me Very Happy

Thank you

GS, oh so much travelling! All on trains too. Starts tomorrow for about a fortnight - to the office, to London, back here, to London, to Swindon, back here, to London, to the office, back here. And so it goes on Rolling Eyes

But on the plus side I should be able to get plenty of knitting done Very Happy

Oh Franney, foot isn't in mouth at all! Razz

One of the great things about this place, and SAM, is that we get to see so many yarns knitted up and can see whether they're for us or not Very Happy

It's not compulsory to like any of them! And where's the harm in being honest about it, I'd say the same to you. (Although tbh, to me my sock looks exactly like it does in the pic on the GK site .... Wink

)
