holiday projects

It is half way through school holidays and am I any more organized that at the start? No. but I have got some photos to share with you of my projects. Now that # 1 child has returned home with the camera(which is actually # 1's but I borrow).
OK so this first one is not my project at all but a fantastic hand knitted hat that my mum picked up at a second hand shop for $2. Can you believe it. I love this hat and have worn it lots already. I would like to thankyou to the person that knitted this gem. I know you did not make it with me in mind but I thankyou because I love it.
It reminds me of a movie I recently saw for the second time. "The Witches" by Roald Dahl. I had never realised the number of fantastic hand knitted jumpers, cardigans, mittens etc in this movie before. Last time I watched it I was more excited about the scandinavian theme, and of course the witches. I think I would like to have a go at knitting some of those fantastic norwegian designs, but I do have a few other things to finish first.

I have finally finished my second hedgerow sock. I really like these socks as they have a girlie feel to them. Easy to knit but such a great design. If you want more details you can check my ravelry projects page.

And while we are still talking about socks, I recieved this wonderful sock wool from Wales. Sally Pointer has hand dyed this from Woad ( I had to google it to find out what it was). It is called ice and fits with the swap theme of my favourite fairytale "snow queen". Then I found an ice themed sock pattern to go with it. So stay tuned and hopefully I will start it soonish.

And we cant forgett the spinning. Here it is. And what will it be?????? Who knows. I have just become one of those people that spin for spinning sake.
