In the skein…
Winding…
by hand. No, I didn’t think I’d have the patience either…
To a ball, and then to this.
The yarn is Colinette Jitterbug in velvet plum that I bought at the Sydney craft fair back in June (from Sarah Durrant). I’m knitting it up into these socks (pattern from Knitty). So far so good!
