This will be my 1st blog on here so hoping I get it right, this one is more on knitting but hope to share my quilting as well with you.
I guess it a case of trying to get motivated after Christmas they say January & February are months that you tend not to do things so much.
I done a pair of socks using the Online Emotion lll Range this is the latest range I have which I think is their latest as well in this range.
The yarn is 50% Merino Wool, 25% Bamboo & 25% Polyamid it a lovely soft yarn which does knit up well.
If I am to be totally honest & give the fore & against on this yarn my only moan is that it don't follow a set colour pattern so trying to match both socks up perfectly you can't but you can see that the same colours ect are used & I do like them.
I use Online range a lot they have several different lines which of course Emotion which they have now at least 3 different lines under Emotion which are Emotion, Emotion ll & lll they also do Irish Colour, Canadian Colour, Wellness & Spot colour some knit up more like a fair-isle which I really like but the Emotion range is the softest range so do really like this range.
I hope to if possible get some orders for socks or at least sell some but since my last orders before Christmas I haven't been lucky enough to get any.
I also done some dishcloths which are Darrell Waltrip cloth which you can find the pattern at

I also have done some facial mittens
I used a variegated yarn just as wanted to try these out could look very nice in some pastel shades but solid/plain colours which would work well with a back scrubber as a nice little gift

Hi Crisy
Thanks for your lovely comments i get my yarn from Germany but may be you can do a search for a outlet that sells yarn it called Online which with the name does make it a little harder but i know that the lady does ship worldwide i get it from ebay here a link to one of her sales which is a new range
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4001875360...
here is a link to her eBay shop scroll down for it in English
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/strickstudio-knoller/Sockenwolle-SOCK-YARN...
You see for 800 grms shipping is 14.50 euro worldwide not sure if that would be good or bad for you
well i sure you do some great socks what ever yarn you use & if you wait for us to get our summer you have a nice long summer & autumn yet lol well take care
Hugs Janice

Hi Barbi
If you can do a knit stitch & a purl stitch then you can do these, as i do the rib which is 1x1 then rest is knit i use double pointed needles & that the worst part learning how to use those if you not used them before, once you done a few rows it easier.
You can inbox me then i can send you a easy pattern if you give me your e-mail addy
Hugs janice
Thanks Gayle & BillieBee

I would have never thought hand knitted socks be something i not only do but love wearing but i do
Thanks again to all the kind comments
Hugs Janice
