Long time no sock

 It's been a while but apparently I still got it! Made a pair of socks.

These were made for a friend, I wish everyone wore just ankle socks. 

Bad picture, good colors. 

Yarn used: Novita 7 Veljestä, 

approx. size 44 EU, 

3,5 mm needles 

and 48 stiches!

Also in DaWanda

Mom's alpacas!

To be honest, the animals arent actually my mother's. I hope. But she sent me loads of alpaca yarn from Peru and I really had no idea what to do with them. This is what I came up with, for starters.

 I AM happy with the result, even though it may not look like I'm smiling.

I thought this would take way more yarn, but I only got rid of the grey one.

I used 5 mm needles, could've been maybe a bit thicker. We can try again, there's always more where that came from!

Quite nice colors for autumn, don't you think?

Song of the day: Atomirotta - Aurinkoon

Poorly packed luggage.

So, I was given a hint to start blogging in English as well, even though I've been pretty lazy at posting to my previous blog. Let's give this a try then!

So, I left for a trip for about two weeks and at some point I realized that I'd packed maybe two shirts with me. No idea what's been going through my mind at home. Most likely .. nothing.

 

I really had no choice but to walk to the nearest yarn shop and start knitting. Not that you'd actually need any clothing in this weather. Phew!

Aaaaaaand it's done! Just a basic free-knitted shirt really. 

The yarn, Novita Miami, has a really nice feeling to it. I kind of like this! What should I do with the leftovers?
