Very pleased with the way they turned out and now waiting (im)patiently for this month's challenge.
I always finish my 'toes' with Kitchener stitch but invariably forget the 'pattern' - found this great reminder on Etsy.

Got a tin of chocolates for Xmas. They were delicious. As the old tin I used for some of my knitting notions had finally died, I transferred everything into the new one.
No matter how many times my grandkiddies come, they still have to check in case miraculously the tin contains chocolate again.😅 😜

A collage of a tin of Roses Chocolates that now contains various knitting notions along with the words - '...who else uses tins that held yummies for their notions?...'

I definitely need to sort out my yarn.
I have yarn in baskets, in cupboards, and alongside my chair.
The two baskets alongside my chair are my 'working' (...er, um...lol) ones, they're holding the current WIPs that I pick up regularly.
The cupboards hold my main stash and patterns, needles, etc...
Then there are the hand-dyed yarn clubs I belong to that mean I get more each month.

Of course - collecting yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies 😂 😅 😜

4) basket filled with bags of hand-dyed yarn sorted into colour.

Look what I got!!!
I was April's prize winner for the #flmalclub2024. Along with the May colour (in the gorgeous mug) I got two skiens that will co-ordinate with those in the club as well as the mug.

3 skiens of hand dyed yarn.
One latte, dark blue/green, and light olive green.
The blue/green is in a coffee mug with a photo of some of the colours aaavailable in the make along club.

Knitted 30cm square - coloured olive green. 3 sets of twisted double cables separated by single cables.

Frogging (tinking) it!
Got side track when I started these socks. Made up the pattern as I went but didn't bother writing it down.
Picked it up again a few months later and a) can't remember what row I'm up to, b) what the hell I did, and c) I no longer like the design...lol.
Normally I scribble something out & leave it with the project, this time I didn't. 😜
