It's been far too long since I last wrote a no-nylon sock yarn review so it's time to put that right. These socks are knitted in Whistlebare Cuthbert's Sock and I've been wearing them for quite a while now so I can give you an update on how they've got on.
The pattern is called Magic Mirror, it's a free pattern on Ravelry that I thought would be perfect for this yarn, and I'm delighted with how they turned out! My yarn is in two shades: the turquoise is called Kirk Yelthom and the pink is called Grubbit Law. They're both named after places along St Cuthbert's Way, which is a long distance walk between the Scottish Borders and Lindisfarne in Northumberland. As the Whistlebare farm is based in Northumberland, it's the perfect name for their sock yarn!
I've just been looking through my photos and I've realised that I've been busy snapping away but haven't actually shown you what I've been snapping recently! Oh, the hardship of having to do exciting things like photo shoots and go away on holiday instead of showing you the garden :) Anyway, this seemed like a good time for a catch up so here's what's been going on over the last six weeks or so. Firstly, I finally finished the IOU Christmas socks. Here's big daughter's pair ...
Do you remember a couple of weeks ago I went to the Knit Now magazine photo shoot? Whilst I was there, I met Angela who's the editor of a brand new magazine called Your Crochet & Knitting which will be on sale for the very first time in a couple of weeks.
