    Those are lovely Orkney. Hopefully you won't need them for the summer though!

    Ok, here are a couple of pics as promised.

    First some zig-zaggy scarves:

    A little shawl that's lovely to put round your shoulders for reading in bed (this is one I made for my mum, but I'm going to make another for me before the winter):

    Some of my socks:

    And finally the stash.

    In the wooden box in the living room:

    And the wicker basket in the living room:

    In the chest of drawers in the bedroom:

    In the drawers under the bed:

    and lots of bags like this stuffed behind things all over the house:

    (tapestry wool is great for felting btw)

    Even the poor cat can't escape!

    And yes, I am well and truly ashamed of myself!

    ETA I'm trying to get myself a bit more organised on Ravelry so will be adding pics as I go along - I'm DirtyGertie on there so feel free to have a look.
    Oh dear, here we go again.

    LOL!
    Guess who has just cast on another pair of socks ? :o
    (So I now have a pair of Noro's (1 done and 1 rib done) and a jumper and vest on the back burner!)).
    Cannot remember if I put a pic of my cowl (that was gonna be a scarf!) on so here it is anyway!

    Jennyjelly; Have you got your own flock of sheep with all that wool!!

    Dizzylizzie; the mug holders are very pretty, did you design them yourself?

    Orkney star; The colour of your wrist warmers are gorgeous, and your socks are lovely as is
    the cowl.

    Can anyone point me towards a pattern for a simple men's jumper? I can knit, but I've never tried a big project before, and all of the patterns I've found include directions I don't understand, or detailing I don't want to add.

    jennyjelly - Beautiful zig zaggy scarves! And impressive stash...

    dizzy lizzie - Pretty mug hugs, I especially love the rose one but they're all cute!
