Storm

Storm socks, sock putt entry, for OH.


I like the pattern, I love the yarn.

Manly Sweater, done.

Manly Sweater, started back in December 2007. Originally I was going to give it to OH for his birthday (February!)

It's finished now though, and it looks great. I'm really pleased with it!

Earl Grey

Finally finished the Earl Grey socks as designed by the Yarn Harlot. They took a while, but I think that is because of two things:

1. boys like longer socks than girls


2. boys have bigger feet than girls

These things are true of OH and I, so socks for him take longer. They were a nice relaxing knit though, and look nice in the colour that he picked. The cable was a faff in places, but looks nice and made it interesting to knit (that much plain stocking stitch would have driven me to drink). I used some Cygnet Woolrich yarn. It’s meant to be washing machine safe and has enough polymide in it to be hardwearing even on OH.

I may make these again one day, but not just yet!
