Almost crochet ...?

Ok, so the crochet part is really just something that alliterated with code. I happened across a site called 'Cats who code' the other day, which just appealed to my funny bone. That got me thinking about what I'd call this blog when I eventually got down to writing. I figured I'd probably spend just as much time talking about my hobbies. Code and knitting just didn't roll off the tongue. So now you know.

In case you're wondering, I do enjoy crochet, but I'm finally getting into knitting. Just to prove it, I've taken a snap of a crochet square from one of my unfinished projects. It might have something to do with the wonderful climate here in Scotland. Knitting actually contributes to keeping my lap warm. Knitting on the tropical east coast of South Africa just wasn't practical. What with humidity of 110 half the year, and it being far too warm to actually wear anything I'd made.

I have to admit that I've usually got about 3 or 4 projects on the go at any given moment. It's in case I get bored with my current project. I can then pick up something else and get on with that instead. I thought I'd share some photos of a recently completed project. A pair of merino wool Norwegian socks. Admittedly started a year ago, but worth it. I've already worn them over 5 times this winter and they really kept my toes cosy with my sheepskin boots. Ah ... bliss ... warm feet!
