Knitting Merino Yak
Beehive
The very first shopping expedition the human has taken since March this year was a trip to The Beehive Wool Shop for some sock yarn!

Yarn!
It was not a very daring expedition – we ordered on-line, and the bag of yarn (Merino Yak/Plum Mix; Pro-Lana/Fjord; and Adventure/Opal) was delivered to the sidewalk!

Plum
Rose is now busy helping me to knit Christmas-flavoured socks for various relations, starting with the Merino Yak.

Sleeping Bag
All of the Hittys (even Rose) always wish we would forget to send the socks away – they make such lovely Hitty sleeping bags.

Curiosity
The cats don’t really care whether the socks are sent away or not, they just like it when Rose plays with string…

Snuggle
…this Yak/Merino blend is particularly snuggly.

such a beautiful colour mix.
It is lovely, we are all enjoying working with it, and as a bonus, our relative will have warm as well as beautiful toes!
That Plum is such a deliciously fruity colour, I can actually taste it!
Our relative is old enough that he won’t actually nibble the socks, though I think he will agree about the deliciousness!
It is a beautiful color. I can understand why Rose wants to knit one or more to use for snuggly snug sacks.
I am loving the colour so much I may have to get another ball of yarn to make myself a pair of socks…thus disappointing the Hittys again 😢
So fun to see the cat enjoying the sumptuous yarn. Rose is doing a great job knitting so carefully. I hope the shopping “expedition” was satisfying. It’s good to see and feel hands at work.
It was a fun trip “out” though it felt a little strange. We were very glad to see most people being civilized about the restrictions and public health requirements. The cat, like most cats I know, could not resist the ball of glorious snuggly yarn!
The yarn is beautiful and I love Rose’s dress.
Thanks very much, I was glad the yarn was as lovely as I imagined when I saw the description on line…Rose’s dress is one I made a long time ago, and she wears it almost every winter…it actually needs a bit of mending, she will get to it next time it goes into the laundry.
Lovely!
Thanks, it is very pretty yarn and we are enjoying the way it is working up.
what a wonderful array of colors. I am sure your relations will be thrilled with their toe warming gifts!!
It is delightful making toe-warming gifts, for people who live in chilly situations…the colour combinations make me and Rose want to keep knitting. Also the stormy weather outside!
