Socks

 In the last few months I've been on a real sock knitting kick.

Fuelled by a large collection of sock yarn asking me to do something with it...

That being said I have found myself suffering from a feeling of sock burn out over the last couple of weeks, with not much enthusiasm to start my next pair.  Luckily my knit-jo had not completely disappeared and my hat and jumper projects kept on getting love.
