always follows a finish or two.

There is a new sock on the needles, my (very late) hooky contribution to the Hottie Challenge and yarn for another project awaiting the pattern.
Back to working my way through my Knitting Socks from Around the World, I'm doing Poppy Socks this time designed by Anna Zilboorg.

There has been some reading this week - cool wet weather is perfect for curling up with a book, (not in the picture) but I've almost finished 'Remarkable Creatures' a novel by Tracy Chevalier. The two main characters are young women - one from an affluent family and one from a poor family - who share a fascination with collecting fossils. One for pleasure and one to help sustain her family. Set in a period when women were not taken seriously as individuals it highlights the injustices faced by women in that era. Interesting reading.

There's plenty to keep you busy there! I keep lusting after that sock pattern book.
Very nice! Thanks for the sock knitting book title... I hope to learn to knit socks in time! Love the red!
It's always lovely seeing what you have on your needles, the lacy knit looks nice.
It is certainly warm sock weather here in Melbourne
Cannot wait to see those socks finished...furry indeed!
Im really liking that furry detail ...hurry up and finish please so we can see the whole sock !
a fun bit of furry... I am also (trying) to read a book about injustice to women - the Floating Brothel... very factual which is interesting but hardgoing for me...
