Thank you!

LOL at GS, I did realise last night that one of the reasons I'm so fond of this pattern (apart from it being quick and easy) is that it reminds me very much of the pixie boots I wore to death back in the 80s Laughing

But no, I don't think I'll be going for the full pixie outfit thank you very much Shocked

No one needs to see mutton dressed as pixie Laughing

I like red, in case anyone hadn't noticed Very Happy

That is such a lovely colour. Very Happy

Did you say it only takes one skein of yarn to make the Vogons?

Thanks! Yes, it only takes 50g to make a pair of Vogons. Which is useful with the Silkwood, because as each 50g skein is hand-dyed then even two in the same colourway can differ tremendously from each other! If you like your socks to be matching then Silkwood probably isn't for you for full-sized socks where you need 50g for each. But good for trainer socks where you can get a pair out of the one skein Very Happy

Carola, it'll be the Woolly Workshop you'll need to rush off to, not Get Knitted Very Happy
