|
|
Here are my entries for May so far.
Socks knitted from my own hand dyed handpun yarn.
I love them.
Here is the 2nd pair..
I had some yarn left over from some lilac alpaca I spun earlier for fingerless mitts so I made a bag charm and a key ring from the socks leftovers. I like to try to use every bit.

Another thing to add to my long list. _________________ Fi, The Beach Babe |

Those are lovely Tracey
I love seeing how we all diversify and progress ( well some of you ) from "just" knitting to sewing and spinning and dying and all sorts of other talents.
