Too busy

I have been just too busy. Working long hours lately and the weekend was also full of activities. That means my beanie instructions are still in process. However I have written it, but it have to be rewritten so that some other people understand it as well. I am sorry about that. I shouldn't promise anything. :( Next 1,5 weeks I will be traveling, in Athens. I might write a little story of my trip there after coming back.

Monkey socks by Cookie A.

I have made a list of things I would like to write about and also taken pictures of some more works. However have been very tired lately, and haven't felt like writing anything neither doing many other things. I can't wait for my holiday in Athens starting end of next week. I really need some sun now. I also started writing the instructions for the purple beanie as Wonder Wombat asked for it. I try to get it done before my holiday.

Pattern: Monkey by Cookie A.
Yarn: Wollmeise sock yarn, shade Pfefferminz Prinz. (if I remember right)

I made another pair of socks of those lovely Wollmeise yarns. I think Cookie A.'s Monkey pattern and Wollmeise make a good match. This shades are also brilliant. I actually did some parts of the socks in a bit different way, but Monkey was my inspiration.

Valokuvatorstai 84.

Scary MÖRKÖ is this week's theme for the Finnish valokuvatorstai.

Little child's socks for little women

Pattern: Little child's sock. (Knitting Vintage Socks)
Yarn: Wollmeise, Sockenwolle 80/20. Shade Dornroeschen.

I like this little child's socks from the book Knitting Vintage Socks. I already made two pair of them one pair for myself and one pair for my boyfriend's mother. My socks are are bright pink, or should I better say fuchsia. I am not sure. i didn't like this colour before and, but love it now, in small amounts. I wouldn't wear any bigger pieces of clothing with that colour, but socks or scarves are OK. As you can see I have bought or got other things of similar shades lately. This colour really reminds me of Asia.



This was my first time to use Wollmeise yarns, which I ordered last year. One hank was 150g and I could nearly make another pair of socks at least for a child. I like those yarns. They are nice to knit.

These socks I made for my boyfriend's mother earlier using this same pattern. You can find more information of this post.
