I finished my Perambulates. I love them! Not much else to say. I love the awesome Zen String yarn - the colorway is Reflection from the fall 07 sock club - and I love the simple yet beautiful, easy and fun to knit pattern.
I knit them on 2mm dpns at a tighter gauge than asked for - more like 8-9 sts pr inch than the 7,5 called for in the pattern.. Hopefully that will help them hold up better as they are 100% merino.
Here they are:
Now I really gotta cast on something more bulky..

Another stash game and knitting status
Time de-neglect my blog..
So there is another Wooly Wonder stashgame going. I have no hopes at all of getting a score worth mentioning - especially considering I tend to knit stuff from sockyarn these days and lets face it. Its SLOW! My 2,5 mms have been the only ones in use for quite a while..
I still never finished all the babyhats. They both need sewing or kitchener stitch - or even both. Instead I cast on another one.. in silk hoping my friend who has a wool allergy will use it for her yet to be born baby.. (hoping I wont mess up the sizing this time..)
FOs.. well time for a status. I sort of finished my Anemois. I still need to weave in the ends and the left thumb is a bit too short so I may have to bite the bullit and frog a few centimeters..
Anyway here they are:
And I finally cast on for Perambulates in lovely Zen String sockyarn from the fall sockclub of 2007. And I finished the first sock in a week or so (a sock record for me) - I havent had much time to knit the second one though, but here is the first one, in all its single-sockness:
I had a nice ravelry surprise today. Just for fun I tried looking up my only ever self-written-down pattern - a pattern for cabled newborn socks found elsewhere on the blog - and saw that two other people has actually knitten it!!! Wow - that is a good feeling.. Maybe I should perfect it a bit.. I guess adding a bigger size wouldnt hurt.. And I always thought something was wrong with the heel.. Ah well some day..
