Here's my effort for May.



This is the Regia Softy.  Lovely think wintery socks which are already winging their way to London with Royal Mail for my SIL's birthday tomorrow.

I had the opportunity of seeing these in real life this week - the colour is stunning and they are sooooo squidy and snuggly.  And beautifully knit of course  Very Happy

I wasn't that moved by the pics of the yarn, but will deffo make some for Thingmas pressies.

And aren't you all impressed that the Queen of Pink managed to give these away  Laughing  Laughing  Laughing
