Socks 31/19/08 "Flutter-By"

..and now, I proudly present: Sophies flutter-by socks. This was the first time I could not figure out the pattern, and without the help of my good friend C. I would still not see the wood for the trees. She found the solution and after I got it, it was so easy...I'm sure, it is my age...*hrm*

Knitting Time: Oct. 10th - Oct. 22nd 2008

Material: 100 g Lana Grossa Meilenweit with dpn 2,0 mm

Socks 30/18/08

..the October bonus task said that we should knit socks from our rests, free for decision. So I looked though our rest basket and found three matching colors. The result are these sneakers, not much, but my friend T. already "ordered" them for x-mas.

Knitting Time: Oct. 5th - Oct. 8th 2008

Material: Rests Fortissima and Regia with dpn 2,0 and 2,5 mm.

Socks 29/17/08 "Rolling Thunder"

..finished for the Sokker Kal, Rolling Thunder without beads, since I found that the yarn ist too sporty for such a decoration.

Knitting Time: Sept. 19th - Oct. 4th 2008

Material: 100 g Gedifra Calzino with dpn 2,0 mm

Well..

.. currently I'm doing advanced training. This is the reason, why there were only a few posts in the last months. But I promise, after my classes, I will do my very best in order to catch up asap.....

Socks 25/16/08 "Slippin' - Strippin'"

..finally I finished the August-bonus-socks. I used fingering yarns knitted with double thread, since I wasn't able to get the required thin lace yarn. It made the socks relatively thick, but now is the right time for those, since it is already cold in the eveneings and they are perfect for couch or bed.

Knitting time: August 2nd - September 21st 2008

Material: Gedifra, Fortissima and Rellana 4-ply with dpn 4,0 mm

Socks 24/15/08 "My Purple Dream"

Først takker jeg for kommentarer deres. Jeg gleder meg over alle, som leser bloggen min.

Referring to Siljas post, I already began to work on "my purple dream"by that time. Since the August-bonus-socks will be in purple, I decided to use another color. But it was impossible to knit them in the way given. Using 17 stitches on each needle make socks that can be donated to the zoo in order to fit an elephant. So I tried to reduce the repeat by three or four stitches, but this came out awfully. Usually I meet all challenges that cross my way, but here I was helpless. But then, I had the idea that saved my reputation...I took a 6-ply yarn, reduced the repeat to three and just knitted socks as usual. Well, here it comes, "my nature dream".

Knitting Time: August 25th - September 3rd 2008

Material: 100 g Flotte Socke mouliné 6-ply with dpn 2,5 and 3,0 mm.

Socks 23/14/08 "Mary Jane Slippers"

..No, it is no good idea, not to finish your work, when you adjusted the pattern and did not write it down. It took me the whole afternoon in order to figure out, what I did, but now, the slippers are finished.

Knitting Time: July 16th - August 24th 2008

Material: Flotte Socke 6-ply and rest of Regia Tweed 6-ply with needle 3,0 mm.

Socks 22/13/08 "Better than Booties"

..well, I might have misunderstood the task, since I knitted all three pairs. Anyway, it was fun, to create the little socks. These will be for Baby M. and I already collected three other colors for Baby A.

Knitting Time: June 30th - July 16th 2008

Material: Rests of Fingeweight Gedifra, Regia and Flotte Socke with dpn 2,0 mm.

Socks 21/12/08 "Drops 102-15"

..and the second pair for June KAL ist finished. The pattern cannot be seen that good on the pic, but it is the one required.
At the moment I'm not so quick in knitting, since I'm sufering from an infection in my right shoulder and that doesn't give me any possiblity to do more than a few stitches daily. But I hope, it will be better soon. The next KAL-challanges are already in progress, but it will pobably take a few days longer.
Knitting time: June 18th - July 13th 2008
Material: Schoeller Fortissima with dpn 2,0 mm

...just inbetween, a pair of sneakers. Seams to be a bit too much color for my taste, but you won't believe it, I begin to like them...

Knitting time: July 2nd - July 6th 2008

Material: Regia Silk shine and a rest from our basket with dpn 2,0 mm, plain stockinette.

best things are free...8

..this is the result of hard work during last week and the reason, why I don't post any knitted projects at the moment. My whole garden is a complete desaster and I wasn't able to get it fixed by my own. So my dear friends and neigbors G. and U. helped me to change this djungle into a garden. Well, I'm not finally finished yet, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. - Both pics are taken from the same place, yes, really..

Thank you so much for being such good friends.

Eye Candy Friday


..with this lily from my garden I wish you all a nice and sunny weekend.

Eye Candy Sunday..


...actually supposed to be posted on Friday, but now it is Sunday. This rose grew in my garden and shall make your start into the new week. Hope, the weather is better at your place, here it is raining, raining and raining.....

Socks 18/10/08 "Uzumaki"

... here you see the finished Uzumaki socks. Well, I modified the pattern and adjusted it to my preferences. First I knitted top-down, I used a small cuff and then I continued the pattern on top of the foot, since I found the original looked some kind of cut-off.

Knitting time: May 4th - May 24th 2008

Material: Calzino sportivo with dpn 2,0 mm
