Is it holidays yet???

I feel as though the most I have seen of any knitting lately has been to wash a bathtub full of knits and have them sitting all over the house taking their time to dry.

If I am not going to get much knitting time I can at least have some new yarn to look at.
Sock yarn found in Lincraft yesterday in a sneaky visit on the way home.




June's Project Spectrum projects, Irish Hiking Scarf and Mittens.

Both made using cleckheaton Country 12 ply, % balls for the scarf, two for the mittens.





The hat in the middle is the Newsboy cap made in Paton's Jet.
Miss B is trying to claim this. She hasn't succeeded so far so has put in her demand, uh, request for one in black.

Of course the scarf and mittens are lovely, and I perfectly understand why Miss B believes that she and a Newsboy Cap are Destiny, but why oh why did you have to tell me that you got sock yarn at L*craft?? The nearest store is about 610kms away, over land AND sea! I'll just have to survive on my stash, a couple of yarn shops within half an hour's drive, the Big Red Spot, and a variety of online purchase enablers.... ( I only have enough money for option #1, the stash, so who am I kidding anyway???)
Thanks for the pretty pics :)

Great cap - my Mum's been experimenting with caps but nothing that good. Love the scarf, you should come to Ktog & see Roxanne's beautiful cabled scarf she's working on. Look forward to seeing you & Miss B if you can make it during the hols.
