Lakeland Trails is 1st October, so don't think I'm doing Woodland Challenge this year, I paid the price earlier in the year for too much racing.

It wasn't too bad when I left home this morning. Considering they said we were on for 20 mph winds, I was a little worried!

I took my socks to work today - they elicited quite a few comments :-)

Did you wear them, HellsBells? :)

Nicki, if your paths cross with Meglet and you happen to have some wool on your person that she doesn't have a use for, I'd be delighted for it to be passed on to me at Coniston next month :)

I suspect my slubby cotton thing won't make it on to Ravelry. The bits all fit together nicely and the knitted-on bands are fine, but having sewn up the shoulders and sleeves I think the seams are just too rough and bulky for a 6-12 month old, and redoing it with matching cotton sewing-thread probably won't help.

*socks* is a bit of poetic licence - it's actually *sock* and is currently only about 3 inches long#
I'm intending to zoom along with them next week and hopefully get at least one finished :-)
