Lots of Socks

I have a weakness for making one sock, getting distracted by some lovely new wool, and then going strait onto the next pair without finishing the second one! To be honest I probably have enough knitted socks by now, but I can't seem to stop making them. I think when you know the pattern off my heart its so easy to just sit down in front of the TV and then before you know it, a new pair of socks magically appears before you! I think I need to learn another easy pattern, maybe a hat? Or some fingerless gloves? Something quick enough that it doesn't become boring, but also something that feels like a bit of an achievement. 

I recently found a load of wool in a charity shop, 4 hanks of 100% Shetland wool for £2! Bargain! Its 2ply so it actually looks pretty like my handspun (I'm a tiny bit tempted to say it was). So here me finishing off the first sock using two of the hanks. I think these subtle colours give a really nice earthy look, perfect for those autumn days in a few months time.

 Love love love! Seeing as I have finished neither pair, I am tempted to just start wearing them together as I think they look pretty awesome, but I think I'll save the left one for a present. The one on the right is one I spun and knitted a while ago then the yellow was dyed with Turmeric.
