Dolly is going sunbathing


I've discovered that there is definitely a place in my life for sunset yellow yarn. I think knitting spring colours may just cause spring to happen? So I've completed the second socks in the sock club:

The circle pattern is lovely and squishy so hopefully they'll be nice and comfortable.









Finally, for this week a new shawlet/scarf using the hand-dyed 4-ply that I got at I Knit Day 2009 and have been fiddling with for ages. It loses dye like nobody's business and the sock I started didn't go round my heel so it has had its own way and is becoming an Ishbel.

It was admired at last week's knitting group and we had two new members. Another person has commented on Ravelry that they might come along so the group is going from strength to strength.

Dilemma of the moment... do I give up knitting for Lent, in favour of crochet and spinning? Comments please.
