This soft squishy beauty is a #ghazalcowl for Heather @wiveyweaver_yarnalchemy made from her #handspunyarn The natural coloured yarn is #surialpaca and the dark grey is a 40/40/20 #alpaca #merino #silk blend. The yarns were held together throughout. Did I mention it’s soft (so soft!) and squishy (so squishy!). I have to post it on Monday, but until then it will be on my desk where I can stroke and fondle it because it is very soft and very squishy 😍 #softandsquishy

I snagged some beautiful #handspunyarn off Debs @craftycatknittybits the other day. I’ve turned it into a cowl 😍 I love those soft autumnal colours; they just seem to glow 🍂🍁🍂 I just need the weather to get colder now ❄️❄️ The cowl only took half the yarn so I might have to make some fingerless mitts to go with it. #iamarealknitter #ukknitters #knittedcowl #knittersofinstagram

A pair of socks for Heather @wiveyweaver_yarnalchemy using her own yarn. These are now known as the #dayglocamosocks 😂 The yarn is #zitrontrekkinghandart which is not one I’ve used before. It was a bit of a bugger to wind, but really nice to work with. It felt quite soft, even before I washed it, and feels even softer now 😊 The pattern is a combination of #sockmaticianstoeups and #basicribbedsocks I’ve whinged in the past about how much I hate ribbing. I’ve previously knit two pairs or ribbed socks and been fed up with the ribbing halfway up the first sock 😕 This time I started fully prepared to start hating the rib halfway up the foot, but I’ve not minded knitting these at all! 😳 Maybe it’s more about managing my expectations before I cast on 😎 #iamarealknitter #ukknitters #sockknittersofinstagram #ribbedsockconvert

I was enjoying these socks until I hit a knot in the 2nd sock. Thankfully, the yarn had been rejoined at the right place in the repeat. Then I soaked them and the water looked greener than the socks 🤬 This is the 3rd or 4th pair this year, that I’ve made from commercial machine-washable sock yarn, that the colour has run. What is the point of superwash yarn that can’t go in the washing machine? #regiasockyarn #fishlipskissheel #fedupwiththis #operationsockdrawer #sockknitting #sockknittersofinstagram #iamarealknitter #ukknitters
