Ravellenics and a mystery

Phew, I think I got sucked in to a black hole and missed the whole of July!

I've been working so hard and I got married - this combination means I didn't blog (sorry) but I'm going to do better, I promise, and a hiatus means I've got a lot to say (and show!)


We're just over half way through the Olympics; behold my Ravellenic Socks:

I haven't worked on them as much as I would like but I have been glued to the coverage, the BBC have outdone themselves. There have been many moments where it has been far too exciting to knit, I naively thought I'd get loads of work done while watching - not so much!


I've designed a mystery sock for the Solid Socks group this month - Punica. The second clue will be released tomorrow, it's not too late to join in and I'd love to see your progress in the Coop Knits group too!
