Socks for my take-out knitting and indoors a large-size gansey

The wool for the gansey is on cones, frangipani in damson, it is lovely wool, very warm but needs something underneath when wearing ie shirt or shirt

The socks are generally vanilla socks with perhaps ribbing, always top-down for me and worked on a combination of circular needles and dpns when turning the heel and shaping the toe

Such a worthy project teabagwoman, I'm sure your blankets will be well received. When I was still quilting I used to make quilts for them.

My practice stitches, which I've
very carefully learnt from my ancient grandmother's very old knitting & sewing book.
It's an old yellow book from the 20's maybe 30's & I love it so much & learning so much too.🤗

Rosie I came across the Linus Project as I volunteer with the family support worker at our local hospice. I know that the quilts help children who are losing someone close to them and are very much appreciated.
