    I am looking rather longingly at that long vest, @kiwisavings .  Gorgeous sock colourway @PipneyJane.  I feel your frustration with knitting paraphernalia going AWOL; I up ended my knitting bags trying to track down 2 stitch markers and I know that somewhere, somewhere I have loads of them.

    I have just spent 12 coupons on yarn (6 x 100g WYS Signature 4 ply).  They were on sale, with a significant discount,  some umming and ahhhing, (not very much, to tell the truth).   I suppose I should be thankful that plant bulbs aren't on the ration list.



    Still trying to speed knit 2 pairs of socks before Christmas Eve.

    Super socks @alicef! Christmassy, but all-season too.
