Nobody likes cold feet, least of all cold tootsies. I don't know how I managed it, but I've been caught short of yarn. Every knitters worst nightmare I'm sure, and I'm living through it.
It would be fine if I could purchase Lion Brand magic stripes here, but oh no, another thing us Brits don't have here!
I have a pretty plea to my fellow American friends. I'm using Jelly Bean Sripes No.200, if anyone has the tinyest, incy-wincyiest piece of strand that they would be willing to send me, I would be ever so grateful.
BTW, have you seen the new Debbie Abrahams book? I had a preview at a friends house, its so cute. It has a seasons of the year blanket with pumpkins and autumn leaves, a baby's blanket with letters of the alphabet, a circus blanket with clowns faces on. It's on my Channukah wish list [ok hubby?]!!

I don't have any in the stash but I'd be happy to pick up a ball for you. Just let me know!
ps - thansk for mentioning Debbie Abrams' new book. I hadn't heard about it yet and I think a baby blanket may be in my future!
Jody - thats so sweet of you thanks. I'll email you.
Glad you'll be getting that yarn so that your toes will be warm! If she has any trouble finding it, I can get it at a shop by me. I love the colors in your dyed yarn. Very pretty! Have a great weekend. : )
oooh, your socks look great! wow you're working fast on yours. i'm still on my first sock, but i keep getting distracted with my other WIPs. i have to get back to finishing that first sock (i'm almost about to do the toe shaping)
Hi Sweetpea, thanks for dropping by at my blog. The garter used to be in a free crochet pattern site. I've just checked, they don't have it anymore. I still have the pattern. Email me if you would like a copy..:) And yes, those are live stitched on the bamboo.
Laura - thanks so much for the offer, but I'm a bit rusty on the crochet needle. I'll have to get some more practice in before I make something as beautiful as that garter.
Hiya. Did you ever get the second sock finished? They look really lovely. Pity we can't get that yarn here. ~Sharon
