So first, socks for Mummy:<\/p>\n
The alpaca is lovely to knit with and I hope they will be nice warm socks. I have bought some of the same yarn for myself in a bright purple which I will try out soon.

They are all wrapped up now and in the box of stuff to go to Annie’s house.<\/p>\n I am hoping things will calm down here a bit now and I can get on with a bit of knitting!

They look a little odd not on feet but I’m afraid I don’t have any sock blockers to photograph them on and they are smaller than my feet.<\/p>\n
