Oak galls

yesterday  i was running around like a headless chicken embarrassing my children because I found hundreds and hundreds of oak galls! I normally only find a handful each year and I boil them up and dry them out and keep them for another year but this time I have got hundreds.  Going to do a fairIsle in graduated murky colours. Lush.

Yarn along

Joining ginny on yarn along.  I needed a bit of a break from the monotonous stocking stitch and started on a pair of socks.  It's only tsken a day so far to do the colour work and that is just when waiting to pick up kids etc. Welk maybe staying up late too.  Im also reading taproot again. Its such a great magazine with no adverts....
