So this is one of the pieces of Happy Mail that I hadn't got around to showing yet. A skein of sock yarn from North Shire Yarns, called Gimli's Journey to Moria. Honestly ow could any Tolkien fan resist? It is even more beautiful in 'real life' than it looks on the website or in that photo.
It being mainly in shades of gray I unselfishly allocated it to the Son No 1 sock project and here are the resulting May socks.
So gorgeous. If he doesn't love them as much as we do, we'll have them back for the OH. Pattern is Hermione's Everyday Sock by Erica Lueder which I've used before and really like; it worked really well with this colourway too. Clue for this month is Bowell.
I wanted to get them done early this month as his wife's birthday is on 15th and it seemed like a good idea to put these in the same box as her birthday presents. Postage charges are so high, it is as well to save money on them when you can.
Ooooh, I love those!!
