Well the last pair was finished, and nabbed to wear almost hot off the needles! And the next pair has one sock finished and the other up to turning the heel. The Jitterbug yarn is nicer to work with than the Noir and just seems to have more elasticity. The Noir is much more affordable though... I also love the wooden needles - even easier to work with than the bamboo.
My knitting in the round has definitely improved - no more ugly ladders, seem to have the knack of it now. The socks have been progressing as they are so much easier to transport about. The rug is simply huge, but I may get back to it after this pair of socks simply to get it off the to-do list.
Everything else has been on hold for a while....

Where is the Jitterbug wool from? And where did you get bamboo needles?
I didn't find the Noir too bad to work with. It is nice and cheap when on special. My favourite wool is Jigsaw.
I bought the Jitterbug at a craft show last year, but I think some of the speciality wool shops stock it. It comes in gorgeous colours too. I like the Jigsaw as well, but it probably falls in between (though closer to the Jitterbug). Bamboo needles - either from Spotlight or ex-Tapestry Craft (what's it called again now?)
