Getting Excited!

Well I am busy packing to go visit my newest granddaughter Lucy  Rose, she's just over 5 months, cant wait to have cuddles. Everybody seems to have the flu at present so I'm being careful and keeping myself away from the bugs!

I have finished a few knits, Linds fell inn love with the Starshower Cowl so we have been doing it together

Was knitted in some Skeinz undyed sock yarn in a lovely forest green was trying to dye to match a cardi! This is a colour I never wear but sick of pinks reds etc and I have a gold mustard merino that I think it will look nice with.
I also managed to get some sock blanks off trade-me and wanted to hand paint them. I was really pleased how they turned out very time consuming so the 2nd one I splattered dye on. I dunked them in a pale turquoise  dye for the base really happy how they turned out, I see shawls happening, so delicate. Couldn't get all the crinkles out though but it doesn't worry me.
I've just finished a pair of plain vanilla Socks  to take up North and have another pair on the needles going to try knit on plane or while waiting only got 40 mins between the 2 flights hope it's not windy tomorrow  as not a fan of flying into Wellington!
well better go up the shops before it rains. Be back next week!!
