Celtic Rain Forests (or something)

I finally got enough bananas knitted to be able to return to the Rainforest socks & finish them. Alas too late for the June draw.

Then I got on with the Celtic Cable socks - taking the cable right up the back, & jiggering the row before the rib to give K2, P2 rib at the top. They look good too.

Yarns? Dur! The green I got for the May bluebell socks, but gave up cos two-colour knitting in the round was just too difficult, & didn't look anything like good enough. The red/purple/blue is something I had in stash since I did a pair of Jaywalkers & liked the way the colours hardly flashed, striped or pooled. The cable stood out well too. Maybe, maybe, I'll do this pattern again - with the cable up the front as well. Some time.

Sidetracked

I started the Rainforest socks with an idea of putting them in the 'unfinished but for a gift' stash. Then realise that, as they were in variegated shades of green, they'd be ideal for Mum. So they'll be finished. Eventually.

Thing was I knit a banana, which DH promptly took a shine to. He showed people at Church & they've started placing orders. #bananas currently knitted & taken - 9. # bananas ordered & awaiting stuffing - 6. Proceeds to Tearfund.

So I suppose I should get on with stuffing, sewing together, & applying faces. Then I can finish the Rainforests for Mum's Christmas present. & maybe even start on July's socks.
