What am I working on today?

Sock madness has started over on ravelry, so for the next week and a half I will be trying to finish a pair of socks. I cast on Monday night, and am not too far from starting the heel flap, so with any luck I will manage. This is the third year I have participated, in the past two years I didn't get past the first round. 

Yarn is hand dyed sock yarn from Creative Yarns in Tauranga, bought on holiday about 3 years ago.

I have also cut out two pairs of winter pyjamas for The Monkey, they've been added to my pile of stuff to sew as and when I get to them.

Sock madness!

I have a new pair of socks:
.

The pattern is Brucie, and it was the preliminary pattern from Sock Madness. This is my second year participating, and I haven't managed to finish the first round before the time was up either year, but it has meant I have made myself a new pair of socks each year.

The yarn is Soft Like Kittens Unicorn Sock, in Crystal Cavern. I love the colour, and it really is soft like kittens.
