Zig Zag Ribbon Socks

Here are my latest socks for my husband, they are done in Colinette Jitterbug, colour dusk. I have designed the pattern using the Zig Zag Ribbon from Barbara Walker, they were done toe up on 2.25mm needles.

I finished another pair of Jeanie Townsend Socks - Cascading Leaves in yarn from The Natural Dye Studio (http://www.thenaturaldyestudio.com/), Tiger's Eye.

Woolfest

I did make it to Woolfest on the Friday, despite the weather it helped that I was in Lytham St Anne's Monday - Thursday, so was over half way there. It would have a shame to have come home instead of continuing up the M6. I was reasonably restrained, but here is some photos of my goodies:

Of course more sock yarn from the Yarn Yard:


















































I also picked up a skein of Jitterbug, very pretty and similar in construction to Socks that Rock:



































I also got some baby alpaca roving:

















And the most gorgeous organic wool in Aran weight from Uppingham Yarns:
