Here are the socks I have sent over to America to my sock swap partner. They are knitted with my handspun wool from my sheep. Toe up with short row toes and heels. I hope she likes them and they fit.

Picture Time
First SOCK SWAP! Thankyou! They fit and are georgous. Her socks are finished and will be mailing them today.
Fingerless gloves for 1-Stepsons' birthday plus a hat to match and 2-13yo for on the bus and class.
Yarn spun for the " TOUR DE FLEECE" The grey I ran out of so I had to change my tactics and started to spin the white merino. I have spun enough for the blokes jumper. The grey is now going to my knit sock kit swap bag. Allmost done and will post it off this week! I am determined.

Help!
This bloody computer or rather the bloody internet connection is NOT PLAYING with me right now and I cannot upload my photos.
I have been busy knitting. I have knitted two pairs of gauntlets and a hat all using stash. I am so stuck on my sock kit swap. I have had to move my sewing machine and bits'nbobs and now I cannot find what I was doing. Back to the drawing board.
On the swap front I have decided not to knit the socks I was doing for my other sock swap as they just weren't working out. My hand spun is yelling at me " NOT THIS PATTERN, UH UH NOOOO WAY!!". What can I do but listen to it. Back to the needles and stash. I'm sorry for my partner in the swap as she is now not going to get handspun merino socks. But they will be nice socks. I have realized that I have been trying to knit PERFECT socks and these just don't exist in my 'verse.
Feed back on my sisters socks SHE LOVES them. I am soo happy that they fit and she loves them. She also appreciated the Hottie cover created from our Mum's last knitting. Thanks mum wherever you are now.
Well back to knitting. and spinning.
