As I am spending a lot of my free time at the gym at the moment finished items have a bit thin of the ground recently but at last I have something to share:

The colours are so spring like and cheerful:

I love the bright colours

I started these socks in March, the timing seemed apt given the name of the yarn but they took a while to reach my feet.  The knitting went quickly enough but I ran out of yarn during the cast off. So they were ignored for a while but the knitting elves didn’t pay a visit. Then I spent half an hour tinking back & redoing the cast off only to leave them again for a bit due to the yarn ends. Finally last week I spent another half an hour sewing the ends in whilst chatting to Arianwen on the phone and then rather than ignoring them (yet) again I washed them.

Happy feet!

I’ve worn them already and like the other pairs that I’ve made with this pattern they fit perfectly.  It’s really nice to wear a pair of well fitting socks that make you smile whenever you catch a glimpse of them.

The baby cardigan is nearing completion and I’ve already swatched for my next pair of socks…
