I was fully convinced that closing the shop, would result in me having more time. At the moment though, the complete opposite would be true ⏳ (I’ve now got Culture Club in my head)
It’s all good fun though and I’m thoroughly enjoying working with Deirdre on Olann and. It’s great to be able to put the 10 years worth of knowledge, gained whilst working in the industry, to good use.
On the flip side, there’s been very little time for much of my fibre crafting 😦 That’s why it’s been a little quiet on here and the Facebook Page of late.
I’ve been taking my knitting or crochet to bed some nights, simply to try and squeeze the odd few stitches in before the zzz’s come a calling. What a glamorous life I lead?
So it’s lovely to be able to share a project I’ve finished, or should that be projects?
That’s right.
What’s better than finishing one project?

♥ Finishing two ♥
I’ve finally managed to adjust the foot length on my neon, London Comicon socks
and I’ve also knocked up a pair of Autumnal looking lovelies too (oh yeah, now dancing in my seat)
I used 2.25mm needles on both pairs, rather than my usual 2.5mm and the slightly denser stitch, seems to have resulted in a warmer sock. Always a bonus round here 😉 I still knitted my usual 60 stitch sock, but added an extra few rows to the length of the leg and the foot.
I already have another pair on the needles, as well as far too many other WIP’s to list here, so I’m sure they’ll be something new to share soon.
Happy Knitting!
PS. I’m so excited to be attending our first official ‘Olann and’ outing tomorrow evening with Deirdre. Looking forward to meeting more fibre infatuated people and telling you all about it some time in the near future,
