After being made redundant, knitting and crochet became my comfort, leading me to explore hand-dyeing yarn.

Now, I run a small business, bringing hand-dyed yarns to fellow makers through my website and Etsy shop.

I have started a new project - the Sweet Shop Blanket by Laura Penrose.
I am using my hand-dyed DK 10g mini skeins with Vanilla as the main colour. The soft neutral background really allows all the little pops of colour to stand out.
It should be a lovely project for using lots of different mini skeins, and I am looking forward to watching the blanket grow.
Do you enjoy choosing each colour as you go, or would you plan the full colour order before starting?

Scrappy socks
This was my first time using the helical knitting method for a full sock. I love how it lets the colours flow around the socks, although I struggled to keep my tension even when changing colours.
If you have tried helical knitting, do you have any tips for keeping the tension even at the colour changes?
I also tried a heel flap and gusset instead of my usual short-row heel. The socks are slightly baggy over the instep, so next time I am going to shorten the heel flap and see if that gives me a better fit.
Has anyone else adjusted the length of their heel flap to improve the fit?
Knitted using colourful 5g mini skeins with a soft peach contrast for the cuffs, heels and toes.

So pleased with how these Cottage Heart socks by Kayla Litton turned out, I added a short row heel and only used the colour work chart on the leg.
