I went to Wonderwool a few weeks ago and bought this lovely sock yarn. It's 'Jitterbug' by Colinette yarns - a fabulous Welsh yarn company. I was so pleased to see them at Wonderwool this year - I've been a fan of theirs for absolutely ages but whenever I've been to Wonderwool in the past they've not been there :-(
This colour way is called 'Paintbox'. I love it because it looks as if my children got hold of some white yarn and a pot of felt tip pens. As it happens the socks were made for my eldest daughter as a little gift. Last week she spent two nights away from home on a school trip to Snowdonia. It sounds as though they had a ball - these socks were worn for a trek up Snowdon! Hopefully they kept her feet comfy in her walking shoes.
I'm working on a pair of socks for child number 2 at the moment. I don't think, however, the baby will get some for a while - I can't keep up with the rate at which that one is growing. Too big too fast!
