These are my Yoga socks made from some handspun wool I found in my stash, the dark brown is Jacobs not sure what the light brown is, but it is very soft.










These are a picture of Yoga socks lying down, they have no heel or toes to allow easy gripping of the mat during Yoga. They are from the following pattern:

I have finally finished the snowdrop shawl, and blocked it. I am very pleased with the results. I never thought I would make a lace shawl, but this one caught my imagination and was really quiet easy to do. I got the pattern from:

I have made these fingerless gloves for my daughter Xmas, they are slightly tight on me so should fit her fine. The wool is a alpaca/merino mix from the Natural Dye Studio (ebay).
