For the first time in for-ages, I'm knitting!
This is going to be one of a pair of hand warmers for my niece, who fell in love with this fiery orange sock yarn when we went for a look around the gorgeous new yarn store in Camborne - A Darn Good Yarn.
The wool was hand dyed by The Yarny Octopus, and is being sold to raise money for The MS Society.
It's lovely to work with, and I'm sort of wishing I'd picked up a second skein!

Taking a break from knitting to work on a crochet gift - it's squishy and soft and gorgeous!
Pattern: Oswin by BernioliesDesign
Yarn: YarnArt RoseGarden cotton in shade 323, from A Darn Good Yarn in Cornwall

Frogging this 👆
The giftee tried it out over winter but decided it is too long and that the colourway didnt work for them.
I'm totally okay with them returning it with feedback. I'd rather they return it than that they feel obliged to keep it.
Next attempt will be better, I'm sure.
