Look at these:

Aren't they cool? They are a present from the lovely Emma. I'll be putting them to good use on the next pair of socks I knit.
The blue cotton cardigan is coming along. Nearly finished the right front (probably finish it this evening) which will just leave the second sleeve and then the ruffles. I'm undecided about the ruffles as I'm not sure how much yarn I'll have left and they will take too long to knit. I want this cardigan for my holiday and I also want to knit a shrug before I go. Will I have time?
