The year of major making has started

The first new pair of socks for the new year. For the oldest at boarding school. They are made from some cheapy washable Paton's wool...not that I think for a minute they will be washed before March break!

This is the yarn for pair #2 I think. The husband let my 5 year old pick out yarn online for my Xmas gift. I am not really a purple person, but I guess I should just be happy the yarn is not hot pink with glitter...

And the swap is up to 27 takers, hopefully the numbers will continue to climb.
