I would like to be able to say I have finished these now but they are still waiting for the toes to be done.
In my defence I have done Montego Bay scarf which I was praying would reach 85". Just washed it and laid it flat to dry and it's 102" Embarassed

Will finish socks this weekend. Laughing

Although I am going to get bits to make my 2nd swift so I can re-hank all the dyeing I have done this week.

Need to do more socks!!!

FINISHED!!!!
Already cast on next pair ( Of course ).

My next pair is NDS again in a pink and yellow colourway. Absolutely gorgeous to handle and looks very much like rhubarb and custard.

Anyway heres July's 1st finished pair....

These are on my new sock blockers that I made from vinyl floor tiles. I think they work rather well. Laughing

Second lot of July socks are on the needle.
NDS yarn again in Ginny ( I think Embarassed

) It's a really subtle blend of pink and yellow.
Lovely and soft to knit with and a really quick knit. I don't really want to finish these as the yarn is so soft to knit with. ( I have no more NDS to knit up Crying or Very sad

)

They are lovely Tracey, I've never used NDS but it sounds so scrummy I may have to look it up. Hmm?

These are finished too.

Absoultely wonderful to knit with ( as usual ).
Unbelieveably soft.
These are in the 'Ginny' colour.

I have already done one and a half more socks...this time in Fabel and for hubby. He thought it was about time he got a second pair. Laughing

Another pair done...
Fabel shade 902 for Hubby.

These were nice to knit even though I'm not too keen on the colour...thats why hubby has claimed them. They were done just in time for him to take to Newquay tomorrow for a stag weekend.

For the first time ever I have matching stripes......I think I prefer them when they don't match. Embarassed
