The last ones.


Four pairs of socks in two months. I'm ashamed. I had so many patterns I was going to knit but these are the only ones I got finished. I've been really busy at school and at work and have knitted some Christmas presents (more about them later) but still - I'm embarrassed.

Pattern: tube socks
Yarn: Novita Nalle, pink (559)
Needles: 2.75 mm DPN



Hopefully I have better luck in next year's Sock Harvest.

Pink it is.

Sock Harvest is almost finished and I've knitted only three pairs. Oops.


Pattern: Super Baby Knee High Socks
Yarn: SandnesGarn Lanett, pink (4517)
Needles: 2.75 mm DPN



These go to my friend's daughter, her due date was eight days ago. Hopefully these socks get there in time.

Think pink.

I have started to prepare for another freezing winter in the land of Santa Claus. I usually wear brown coats so pink is the perfect color for my accessories.


Pattern: Virna (Ravelry) by Jatta Saukko
Yarn: Lana Cervinia Le Fibre Nobili Mambo, pink (2838)
Needles: 4 mm DPN
1,5 skeins



Pattern: Cabled collar by Kalastajan vaimo
Yarn: Lana Cervinia Le Fibre Nobili Mambo, pink (2838)
Needles: 6 mm 80 cm circular needle
6 skeins


Pattern: Cabled Mittens by me
Yarn: Lana Cervinia Le Fibre Nobili Mambo, pink (2838)
Needles: 4 mm DPN
almost 2 skeins



I really like this set. I have fallen in love with Virna and I'm knitting my fourth one at the moment. Still eight more to go - for Christmas presents. Cabled collar is also really nice. I have promised to knit two more for presents aswell. But I have to say that I'm most proud of my mittens. My mittens. I thought I couldn't knit that kind of thumbs! The pattern will be available later this month.

This Italian Mambo (bought from Karnaluks, Tallinn) has become one of my favorite yarns. Thank God my yarn-a-holic knitting club friends have already tricked me to order some more with them!


Don't tell my husband.
