I'm using beautiful Bendigo Mills wool in shades of blue to Aqua. As I live by the sea in SE Qld the colours remind me of the changes in the water colour. Loving it. Hoping to have it QB size by his birthday in March. Time is not the issue but the amount of heat is. <br />Love the bright summery yellow of the sock colour for Miss Indi.

I love all those pairs you have knit. The blues in the first post are quite saturated in color and beautiful. I cannot wait to read your post about Loop. I wonder why we dont have a shop like that here in Melbourne as it would be great.
