Gathering Threads

I've been happily working on my third pair of unfinished socks. I am pretty sure that I will finish this sock, and hopefully, its partner. I really love the colourway, it is the yarn that Nederlass sent me (she did so well!), and it is inspiring me to continue. I've turned the heel, and am just shaping the gusset.


Today I started a pair of mittens to match my bobble hat. I finished one, and hopefully will start the other tomorrow. I'm not entirely happy - I used a pattern from SnB nation, but changed it a bit to convert it from flip tops. It doesn't fit as well as I'd like. But I know what to do now, I might do the other the same, and then knit another pair with my new mitten fitting knowledge!

I want to make some of that yarn pr0n that I've been seeing, is a good excuse to really learn how to use my camera, I've never even looked at the manual. Actually it mighht all be in Japanese... Oh well, that's what Google's for.

Another finished project which is neither on my Currently Knitting List or my knitting Wish List on my sidebar. Oops! Well, I saw it in the new Spun, and thought it was a perfect project for the yarn I recently received from my SP Nederlass. The colours are so gorgeous, and I think it is a cute hat. A really quick knit, I did nearly all in one night, and only had two decreases to go, but was tired and went to bed. I finished it the next morning and wore it that day. I still have over a skein left, so I might make matching mittens. It also goes well with my Branching Out, which is currently blocking on the floor!


Had a lovely Christmas, we went back to The Boys family, and it was really nice. I got lots of cool things too, including some knitting books, I'm really spoilt. But it's nice to be back home! We also had a nice New Years Eve, had a few people over, had a good night.
