my first try with kool aid! i used cherry, tropical punch and grape for this yarn… hm, what do you think?
can’t wait to see how it knits up – as usual… thought i might use the yarn for aquaphobia socks?!
thanks a lot to matthias for buying the stuff for me in the us 🙂
world wide knit in public day – i’ll be there and join the crowd in frankfurt. how about you?! 🙂
it’s finished. my first piece of garment! a shrug, knitted in one piece from cuff to cuff.
yarn: 9.5 skeins of Wolle Rödel Toscana.
almost finished! i have to bind off the second cuff, sew the sleeves and knitt the ribbing round the neck.
with over 3 weeks delay i finally got the parcel from my swap pal anne from hamburg *yippeee*
how exciting. just about to unwrap:
tadaaaa: socks, chocolate (i’m a chocolate addict), linkin park cd and a 150g skein of hand dyed, superwash, 100% wool sock yarn.
socks: a bit short but wearable
THANKS A LOT ANNE FOR THE STUFF. I LOVE IT 🙂
just some scribbles of a knitting maniac 😉
finished the first sock today!
i felt like knitting non-lace socks, so i cast on these cut and paste socks! isn’t the cable pattern lovely?! it’s great to knit because you just want to go on and on to see how the pattern develops 😉 i knit it from cuff down though, not toe up as explained in the pattern… i’ve never done that before, so i didn’t want to make any experiments 😉
they’ll be really comfy as i use lana grossa meilenweit cotton strech yarn. somehow cotton feels better on my feet and this yarn is very soft and strechy 🙂
this is the first pattern repeat:
