#ShowMeYourKnits socktober. These are my latest completed ones. Stranded colourwork yet again because it's my favourite thing to knit, and it makes them nice and warm.

A nest of knitted mice for the UK Woman's Weekly magazine charity cat toy appeal. They were quick and fun to knit, and a good stash buster.

Found 200g of roving yarn for £2 in a charity shop. I'm not a fan of knitting with roving, so I'm spinning it on a drop spindle to give it more twist.

#showmeyourknits colourwork. The cardigan is a child-size one I made for charity, and the tulip jumper is a Drops pattern knitted in cotton that I made for myself. I love doing stranded knitting.

So sad to hear of the death of David Lodge. As someone who's worked in research funding for years, it always amuses me that part of the plot of 'Nice Work' hinges on none of the characters knowing what "virement" means.

Scrappy blanket underway. It's just 10 rows of white alternating with 20 rows of a colour, all garter stitch. I'll probably alternate these strips with plain white ones. 🧶

The second sleeve of my colourwork jumper is well underway. I've done the back, front, and other sleeve all in the same all-over pattern, and surprisingly, I still love doing stranded #knitting
