Spring Forward Socks

I started some Spring Forward socks a few weeks ago, but forgot to post them. I am using the yarn I dyed and am really happy with how they are knitting up.
That is all my craft news. I'm trying to be positive that my sneezing doesn't mean I am catching the cold the girls' have and hopefully I can get some sewing done this weekend.

They look gorgeous Kate - the perfect project to showcase precious hand dyed.

Wow. I love how that yarn is knitting up. Did you use "proper" wool dyes or something else to dye the wool? The colours have come out really well.

That's a wonderful colour combination, I am really drawn to the combination of pinks reds and greens at the moment - really fresh and interesting. I love the pattern it is making in your socks. Your dyeing efforts encouraged me to have a little dabble with some food colouring - lots of fun!

Fingers crossed that the cold passes you by - I'm just recovering from mine.

Oh I think you are destined to make sock yarn, it looks so pretty knit up and I love the pattern too.
