Week 21 of 2025

This week I finished knitting a pair of socks-

Just simple 58 stitch socks, knit toe-up, two-at-a-time on a long circular needle. 

I tried something new for this pair - they are striped socks.

Made from this fibre - a BFL/Nylon blend that I dyed.

I divided the fibre in two and spun it two different ways. The top skein is a regular 3 ply yarn, which blends the colours, and the bottom skein is chain ply yarn (a different way to make a 3 ply yarn), it keeps the colours clear (more details on my Ravelry project page).

It was an interesting experiment.

Photos from Around -

Gemma is the smallest, and one of the sweetest hens. She is the one that suffered the most frostbite this past winter - she lost most of her comb and a bit of one waddle. I am sure they are all happy for the warm weather now.

You can just see Molly trying to nibble on GingerSnap! as he was trapped under a little chair.

Here is Molly and her other best friend hanging out while I was working in the yard.

A very calm morning (a relief after the high winds last week).

All the best!♥︎
