What a Year it has been

Hey everyone, I honestly  don't think there is anyone out there reading my ramblings but you know what? I am okay with this! What can i tell you? Well it has been one hell of a year and I'm not sure how i have come out of the other end of it all. I truly think knitting has saved my life at times and just keeping busy, as i said in my last post I lost my best friend my gran and it has truly taken me a year to even come back here and even try and type something to you. My gran was more than just my gran, she was like my mum, my biggest supporter in life, she loved crafts and always encouraged me to do it and always wanted to know what i was working on and now i feel so so alone in the world. I know I am not really as I have the most amazing husband and family but i know life will never be the same again :(

Right lets try and write something. I have knitted 29 pairs of socks since january 2017 and that is quite a lot i think. I have also learnt that I love indie dyed yarn much more than standard shop sock yarn haha and it is an expensive hobby, but oh how i love it. I am so proud of myself that I have taught myself to knit socks all by myself. So here is a few pics of more I have finished. Etsy is the best place for handdyed yarn for sure, and be warned you will want it all ahahaha.

This yarn is by Kate Selene and she is my all time fav dyer.

This last pair are scrappy socks, thats not a nice word for them really hahaha as there not scrap! What i mean is they are made up of lots of different left over 4ply yarns I had in minis and left over from full skeins. I love them rather a lot and I think I will knit some more soon.

Right I am going to makea cuppa and wipe my tears away, yes i was crying the whole time typing this. Things can only get better right? Leave me a comment if you are there reading.

I truly hope to come back sooner. xx
