So I have also made a pair of thick wool socks to a friend. When I was in Umeå this summer I borrowed a bike to get around the city. And I borrowed it from my friends sister, so as a thank you, I knitted a pair of socks to her. And aspected she loved them. :-)

A quick fix, knitting socks. A great way to spend TV and computer free evenings. I mixed left over yarn, blueish Opal Smoke with a skein of Fabel from Drops in a solid blue colour and striped it. Main colour is the solid for cuffs, heels and toes.

I have 5 projects on the needles - well, 5 projects that are alive in my mind, I have more than 5 project sleeping as well...
2 pair of half mittens, 1 pair of socks (Cookie A's Angee) and 2 shawls (the pink Icarus, the blue Shetland Triangle ).
Yesterday I knitted on the pink shawl. This morning I have been knitting on one of the half mittens. Finished left hand and started on the right hand. I think I can finish the right hand as well today. Lots of ski event on TV - and these are fast knitted items.
But I'm dreaming of future projects. This book arrived yesterday.And I want to knit everything in this book. I can see myself wearing Northmavine Hoody & Stevenson Sweather.
So maybe later this year! :-)
This pair of socks was made to my mother for Christmas.

I have actually finished 2 projects this past weekend, I will blog about these later on. This blog entry will be about my new project. Another pair of socks.
This time in blueish/greenish Zauberball. Looking good so far. No pattern, just simple straight forward socks.
Started a new sock project while listening to US Election up-date on Swedish radio on November 7. An easy and carefree project to knit on. And it's no stripe in sight!
At the moment I'm in a knit frenzy and spending most evenings and early mornings with needles in my hands. Basically it's my way to clear my head and to not think about work.
And next time I have a finished project to show you.
I started these during the last days of the Olympics. Bought the yarn years ago during a trip to London.Perhaps 2008?
