I haven’t been knitting much for a while, what with all the FQ hoopla and all, but the Jubilee rain came home with me (so I’m living through it all again) and it’s knitting sort of weather, so I finally finished up the toe of the second Zora sock.

Zora by Regina Satta knitted in Lana Grossa Merino Print.

I rather like the cables on this one – they seem to add just the right amount of interest. Rather strangely the wool pooled on one sock and not the other, which considering it was all the same dye lot and I swear I had the same number of stitches on each foot is a bit odd, but who will notice when they’re inside my wellies?

Actually I was on a bit of a guilt trip with Zora. I made myself finish them so that I could start this….

….OK, I know it doesn’t look very inspiring at the moment, but it’s going to be fab, believe me! It’s Color Affection – you can check it out here. I had a little excursion to the John Lewis haberdashery department when I was in London and several balls of Rowan Cashsoft 4 ply fell into my shopping basket – dark grey, light grey and lime green. Yummeroonie!

And more to the point it’s perfect footie knitting, so I’m all set for the Euros starting tonight. It may well come in useful to mop up my tears when England do dismally again, as they inevitably will, probably against the Germans and probably involving me behind a cushion when they shoot penalties.

Mind you, I’d be more than happy to eat my words, but somehow I think this may be unlikely.
