    Ah, I should have looked at that before. I don't have Robin band handy. Am going to try to buy an extra ball, before I've gone too far.

    I think that knitting sleeve ribs and neck rib in the new ball, would be ok if the dye number is different.

    Well I finished the last jumper late last night!
    Still have the matching hat to do, but at least the jumpers are done so that I could take a pic.

    If you look on Ravelry you can search under yarns and you may find the Robin yarn from the pattern is listed there. If it is listed it will have all the ball band info.

    Drove back to the mill and got the last ball of the wool - it was Robin and the pattern was Sidar.

    I must register with Ravelry.

    Yes, you must register. The trouble is, there are so many patterns I can't decide which fingerless gloves to make. I'd like to make about 30 pairs so far!

    More lovely knitting on here :).
    I am just showing a pic of my first Skew sock, pattern from ravelry. I am doing it as part of the SKA (Sock Knitters Anonymous) Dec theme of 'unique construction', and it certainly is not like any other sock....lots of increases/decreases on foot, very unusual heel and short rows on the legs!.....I really enjoyed sock 1, but putting aside to finish DH Christmas socks before doing second!
    Also got some good news in the SKA October challenge one of my pairs of socks was randomly selected to win a prize (woo hoo....don't often win prizes), it is a project bag, coming all the way from the US!!!

    Had a little snow yesterday, then some hail later (which is on the ground along with some ice). More snow forecast, I kind of want it to come and get it over with tbh!
    Take care everyone as the weather gets colder x
