I sometimes think I have not so much fallen off the No Yarn Purchases wagon, as hurled myself off it at high speed and with great enthusiasm. Witness the above.
What can I tell you? It's a special edition sock wool called The Colours of Australia. This means two things. It won't be around for ever ( because special edition) and I have to buy it ( because Australia ).
Fall about laughing if you will, but those three balls honestly represent some restraint (!), as the collection comprises six colourways and as you will see I have (so far) purchased only three; left to right, Daintree Forest, Kalgoorlie Gold Fields and Sacred Earth. The plan is to make myself a pair of socks from each ball and then pair the leftovers with some West Yorkshire Spinners leftovers in a toning or contrasting colour to make another pair for the OH. So good value moneywise, if a rather large commitment in time. I did also think I might try doing at least one pair toe up, a technique I have yet to master, but that might be a step too far with everything else that is going on just now. We'll see.
What absolutely gorgeous colours! If the other three are as good as those, then you were *very* restrained xx
