- I cast on my Echoes from Karelia socks with stash yarns.
Acquisitions: A couple of lovely self-striping yarns from Stray Cat Socks in the Luigi and Audrey colourways on the Merino/Cashmere/Nylon base (Audrey is a prize for the Give Me Colour KAL!).

Finished object: I finished my Autumn in Spring handspun from a Kathys Fibres 100% merino braid in the Autumn colourway.
