A finish for OPAM and progress...

 My finish this month is a pair of socks for my youngest GS.. he does love Grandma's socks and wears them around the house.. the yarn is Regia sock yarn, a mixture of wool and nylon, so hard wearing for a teenage boy.

This is coming along and I think this might be my OPAM finish next month as there are only 6 more squares to do. I am going to frame and display this with two RR that have been waiting for a similar design. They were squares too, so each square stitched by someone else.

And this is looking good.. I still love it and have tried to complete the left corner.
Colours are lovely, don't you think?

Hope you have something you love to stitch, sew, knit, or crochet in these days while we wait for spring time weather!
Welcome to my new followers, I am slowly working my way around you all.
Thank you for all the encouragement for my slow, slow, slow weight loss! Yesterday my new trainers were kicking up the sand on Southend beach...and a first for me... NO ice cream! 
Happy days to all.....

Lovely stitching and knitting. You were good at resisting the ice cream at the beach; don't think I would have managed it :)
