Finished Objects:
Pop Socks: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/pop-socks
- A vanilla sock knit with 2.5mm DPNs and 64 stitches. Made out of Austermann Step yarn in the Nordcap (046) ? Colourway I think. These were knit for a gift, so will be put away ready for Christmas!

Triangle Knit Shawl: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/knit-triangle-shawl
- An asymmetrical shawl made from Bernat Pop! yarn cakes, in the radical botanical colour way. This isn't the chunky bernat pop, but is incredibly snuggly.

Spinning: Green Merino Silk Braid
- A merino silk braid that I got from the Wool on the Exe shop, which was a joy to spin and I have another skein which I have spun, so we will see what that grows up to be!


WIPs:
Socks: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/b-socks
- Another pair of gift socks -I know organised and everything! These are again knit on 2.5mm DPNs and with 64 stitches, and is just a basic vanilla sock with a german short row heel. The yarn is Opal, but I'm really not sure what colourway it is at all (sorry! :s)
