I have been knitting like crazy. I have made so many socks that I can’t count them all. I am currently working on the absinthe socks from knitty.com in J.Knits yarn colorway Santa Fe. I am on the last repeat on the leg, so I will hopefully be binding those off this afternoon. I recently made a felted bag using this DROPS pattern but also using the chart from this DROPS pattern.

The yarn I used was the yarn called for in the pattern but in the deep red colorway with the chart being done in dark gray. I joined a swap recently and was very pleased with the package I received. My knitting night friends and I have been discussing and looking at possum yarn for the past couple of months, and we’ve wondering what it would be like. In my swap, my spoiler was from New Zealand, and she sent me possum yarn! I was so excited with it, I brought it with me to Knit Night and showed it off during show and tell. Now I can’t wait to make something with it.
