Knitting happens too.
It isn't handspun but I thought I'd sare a knitting project to get some knitting on the blog :)
I just finished these sock in a sock, two socks at the same time on the same needles one inside the other. It sounds hard but it's really just Double Knitting and was surprisingly easy. I followed the instructions on knitty and the tutorial has very clear photographs.

Question Time
OK, I'll start us off with a question. I am wanting to warp my Leclerc 4 shaft Floor Loom but I don't know what to use for the warp. I've had a look at the Texel website and see they have yarn listed as 'weaving yarn'. what would make a good warp yarn?I have 10 and 12 epi beaters (if that's the correct term). Help!
BTW, Sophie, don't read this! Of course I know what I am doing and will be able to teach you! Of course. Oh, what is that strange tingling in my nose? Oh my, it's growning! LOL
Here's a photo of my loom btw, just to get a picture on the blog ;)
