More socks...eventually

It was my birthday a few weeks ago. One of my closest friends was out of the country on my actual birthday so, in honour of me, braved subzero temperatures to buy me a present that she knew I'd really like…

..wool! This yarn is 80% wool and 20% polymide, with is similar to the mix on most of the sock wool I use, so I can see these becoming a pair of warm and cuddly bed socks…eventually! I have to get my current number of socks-on-the-go under control first.

She also bought me this one because of the label.

It's very cheerful but I have no idea what it is. I think it might become a nice soft newborn hat.

I love it when I get overseas wool as a gift :)
