Socks 15/08 & Mothersday

This years Mothersday gift. My Mum always appreciates selvknitted socks. These are made from yarn, she already gave me some time ago. And as she loves little deco-articles, I painted a wooden flower matching her room decoration. All together with some sweets and of course a card made a nice parcel to be sent.

Knitting time: green socks already last year, beige socks: April 27th - April 30th 2008

Material: both yarns unknown. For the green ones I used dpn 2,0 mm and Garter Rib from SKS page 37. The beige ones are knitted with dpn 2,5 mm and Basket Wave Rib, SKS page 55.

Happy Birthday

.... this is the gift for my neighbor and friend U.'s 60th birthday on May 7th. I chose colors matching her new kitchen perfectly, and her husband G. already requested them as washcloth. Why not, but then it needs a different color....hrm..I think his birthday will be in June...

Knitting time: May 1st - May 2nd 2008

Material: Schoeller Limone, Rellana Adina and Schachenmayr Catania (125m/50g), needle no. 3,75 mm. Traditional dishcloth-pattern from Ravelry.

Edit May 25th: U. told me the other day that she doesn't use anything else now than the dishcloths in order to do the housework. There's no better thank for my gift....

X-MAS 2008

since I took up myself to finish one x-mas gift each month, I'm still a little bit behind. This is supposed to be a gift for my brother. Potholders in VW-beetle shape. Well, he is collecting almost everthing that has to do with the subject. These are not appropriate to be used, only for decoration....but now, as it comes to the tricky parts, I think I'll let it wait again for a while...Yes, I know, not very consequently, but there are other things that go faster an make living easier at the moment.
