Wednesday WIP

Thank you for the birthday wishes to my little boy. He did quite well in the end and had 3 birthday-days due to my husband being away and fitting in everything. We did his birthday cake on Sunday and very nice it was too

Ok so it's not going to win any awards for presentation but it was just what he asked for, and you can't really go wrong with chocolate ganache can you lol.

We've had some glorious sunshine lately so we've been enjoying going to the park or sitting out in the garden. I've finished my sock and I'm now on to the second one

The fish lips kiss heel is amazing and I'm finding myself wanting to knit more and more socks so I decided to select a few skeins to wind up

Should keep me going for a little while yes? This blue is for Mr Soaring Sheep, I'm going to give them to him on Father's day

3 happy yarn cakes on a shelf waiting to be used. And the blue I'm going to cast on as I've bought myself a second pair of sock needles. Means I can work on them in secret when Mr Soaring Sheep is away but I can still have some socks to knit on at the weekends. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it ;-)

Happy crafting everyone, hop over to Keep Calm Craft On and Yarn Along for more crafting posts. I'm going to cast on the blue socks and watch the next Truly Myrtle podcast

    1. Thanks :) The stripey sock yarn is from Laughing Yaffle. It's worth signing up to her newsletter as the yarns don't linger long in the shop when she lists them :)

  7. Love both your cake and your yarn cakes! What might be the one on the bottom of the three? They look so pretty together! I am trying the Fish Kiss heels next pair of socks (after my endless socks I am knitting for the hubby)

    1. The bottom one is called Orange Rainbow and is from Flamboyance Yarns :) I'd really recommend the FLK heel, it's very easy to work

  8. Glad your boy had a delicious and happy birthday. Is the fit of the fish lips heel different froma short row one or a slipped stitch one?

    1. It's similar to a short row heel but shaped slightly differently I think. Been a while since I've done one. It's very neat too, there aren't any gaps or tight areas. It fits like a commercial sock

  12. All of those yarns look fantastic - I would have to buy multiple needles to do them all! Love the stripey ones.
