Knitting and just can't be stopped !!

I've been very busy with my knitting of late. So relaxing and I can still watch TV (most of the time I don't do any mistakes)

I finished my beanie's matching scarf. It is only small as I just wanted it to cross over my chest and go underneath my jumper or jacket. The wool is so soft and not itchy. I would make the beanie a little smaller for myself next time or when making it for a child as this was a mens pattern. I don't care "I make it myself" with only one phone call to my sister to find out how to cast off. Oh what you forget when you haven't knitted in a year.

This is the first pair of socks I have knitted. Don't be too concerned about the colours. It was just some spare wool that I had and couldn't wait to start knitting them. They are great for just wearing around the house. I've just finished a pair for my son. Photos to be posted when I finish sewing them up. Next is to try a pair with a heel and toe. I know, very adventurous.

I'm a crotchet fiend. I love doing it while watching TV too, and find it VERY relaxing and satisfying.
