WIP: Blue tit socks

Twitter, twitter... My socks are chirruping just like the birds in the garden!

Blue tits

I can't remember exactly when I cast on these socks, but this picture was taken last week on 4th June. And look how quickly they are knitting up...

That sock was finished yesterday afternoon at the park, and sock two is already on my needles! There's something about stripes that keeps me just knitting a few more rounds. It's unstoppable!

This yarn (West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4 ply in Country Birds) hasn't even been sitting in my stash for very long, as a quick trawl back through the blog reveals that I bought it in April. I'm doing really well this year at knitting more yardage than I'm buying. I talked about doing the Knit the Queue challenge last year, and in the end I don't think I really knitted anything from my queue. However, this year, it just seems to be working! I finished a few projects, and finally got around to casting on a few that I had been meaning to make for ages. I should really head over to the Ravelry group and post about it... Or I could just knit a few more rounds on those socks...
