Red and gold

Some stash acquisition occurred today - rich deep red yarn, and rich gold yarn. Hmmm, I wonder what that is intended for?!

More pictures forthcoming very soon.

I am rather looking forward to the pattern for Quidditch socks being posted at atypically.knit. I have a liking for bright, er, interesting legwear, and I've never attempted socks before. Had a quick tryout with some circular needles tonight as I've never used them before. Seems OK although I wasn't sure if the fabric would be the right way out or not! Surprisingly Vogue Knitting was not overly helpful on this topic. I learnt i-cords and cable cast-on from VK on holiday and I expected more nitty gritty on the subject of circs!
