I was supposed to be a good girl and finish the Icarus shawl I'm making for a friend but my new purchases yesterday made my fingers twitch so DD2 has her snuggly socks for bed.

Made in Garnstudio Eskimo, 8mm DPNs and 26 sts cast on, they took about an hour each to knit (size 37)

Instant gratification knitting, just what I needed after all the shawls recently. I have now promised myself no knitting for anyone outside this house for at least 3 months so I can catch up on the family stuff (sweaters and socks all round!)

Just realised what a crap photo this is, the carpet is actually 'fern' green, not skanky brown and the sock colour looks much better in the piccies from yesterday, I'll try to get a better one tomorrow in daylight
