See You Later!

I'm knitting again - finally.

This is the last pattern in SockMadness3. I'm, not competing, just having fun with this beautiful pattern:




It's love!



See You Later!

I forgot to blog.

The knitting mojo is low. Not that I don't want to knit, but there is nothing I want to knit...

I'm out of the SockMadness - round (5?) was it for me, round 3 last time ( :)).

This is why:



too big again, and not for my hubby, again

But there is lots more,

tomorrow maybe :)

As usual - the socks are to big for me, and this time also to sparkly for hubby.



And here they are the day after:



Yes - I frogged them.

The good news is: I've started again, this time in my own size.

I really like this pattern, and the combination of my two yarns.

And - I'm almost done with my new Lucky Diamond Socks, maybe tonight.

Happy knitting!

Meet Matilde (and cph)

Do you remember Oscar?

We have had another visiter. Matilde (whom also is a first-grader, not a teddy-bear). She wanted the same outfit as Oscar, just for a girl.



Thank you for visiting. :)


Central park hoodie
