What do you think this is?

This is a pair of socks that I started quite a while ago. They are now finished and waiting to be sold in the shop that Katt and I sell in.

They are made from Miami sock yarn that I bought from Bendigo Woollen Mills . The yarn is a cotton, wool and nylon blend and it had too loose a tension for my liking.



What do you think this is? It now has a partner and they will be sold in the shop that Katt and I sell our knitting in.

Thanks for your guesses on this knitted object. A few of you got it right as it and it's mate are knee warmers.











This is some yarn that I found at one of the local salvage shops.

The large hank of yarn is absolutely beautiful 3 ply baby yarn. It is a really huge hank of yarn.

The other 2 hanks feel like cotton blend yarn but they will still knit up well.

All this yarn was in 1 bag and it cost me $8.00 in total. What a bargain.

I have been tagged by Dandy and Sharon to do the same meme but I haven't had the time to fill in my answers yet but I will in the not too distant future. (Honest).

Since finishing the blue mystery items I have also knit another sock in my other ball of Trekking yarn that I got from Sockmonster last year. I am very happy with the way the sock has turned out and am already to the heel shaping on the second sock.

In regards to the Knitting Olympics I am going to stick with Sharon, Cindy and a few others and be a spectator as I am uncertain with my sore wrist whether I could tackle a lot of knitting in a few days and also it can get quite hot at this time of year.

I also think that over 1500 participants is a very good number of entrants. Good on everyone for joining in and I will be on the sidelines barracking for you all.

I think that's all for now so until next time keep on knitting.
