Rocking socks and more
Two socks at the same time on one circular needle. For the toe I used 3 mm dpn and now I am knitting with 2.5 mm. They are too big for me but looks nice on my boyfriends feet. But what about the amount of yarn. The scale shows me that I have 112 grams left. That's like 4 oz - do you think I will need more yarn? I might end up with a rather short leg.
I was using my umbrella swift and ball winder last weekend when Zari figured she wanted a ride! The kids really liked that! I have done some swathing on one of the skeins - the pink angora/merino blend. It is very nice and soft when knitted on 4 mm needles. I don't know what to make out of it yet.
I did knit a lot on the camisole in Pure silk, but then the sock-kit came....I have almost finished three pattern repeats.
Some more books came....Rowan and Debbie bliss. A lot of nice patterns, but I already have to many projects on my needles. So these will end up in my book shelves for now.
The fabric for the dress also came the other day. I guess I should not be surprised when the color turned out to be different from what I toughed. On the web-shop it looks like this:
A lot brighter then the real thing! So I don't really know if it will turn out okay, but I guess it is worth a try.
And it always helps to eat some chocolate!

Hi ya, the socks look good! I don't know about the more yarn. What size? My husband wears 10(us) and I got a full pair out of STR BUT that was with heavyweight and size 3(which I think is 3.25mm) They sure do look great. How does the two on one circular work? I do two circular and one sock. Is it the magic loop method? I like the Chamie it looks really pretty.
My cat flips out over the swift too!
Hei, flott blogg du har, hvor fant du mønsteret til strømpene, to på en pinne? Ha en flott dag! Hilsen Hanne i Houston
