I am afraid, I get envious seeing all the beautiful work

Brilliant and what a fab colour.

I made some socks for my OH; he wore them once just to keep me quiet.

But his tyre cosies (must post a pic sometime when I remember), he uses them ALL the time and they are a great talking point at the race track, so I suppose I'll forgive him the socks issue.

Yay for socks! That's a great yarn you're using as well.
