And to show you what my sis has been up to all this time...

I am proud to present you with my sweet nephew!!!



This is Tyler Liam and I love him very much!

Proof of progress...

I finished pair #4 yesterday!!!

52 PP

After taking some detours, I have come back to kniting socks...well, never really stopped, but now I have proof I really did knit socks!

And here you are:

Pair #3

Pattern: Cable Rib Socks
Yarn: Regia Silk col. 010



These are intended as a present and thus are so far the first socks I knit not for me (and I do hope she likes them...)

Pair #4 (first one)

Pattern: Waving Lace Socks
Yarn: Sockina Colori col. 0093



Second one is in the works and will hopefully be finished tomorrow at work (I do have the privilege of being able to spend a lot of time knitting...hooray for paramedics!

Pair #5 (first one)

Pattern: Clessidra
Yarn: Hand-dyed by Wollmeise col. Frosch (medium)



Remember me telling you about my adventures with Clessidra? And then about me knitting green socks?
After I had finished a lovely green knee-high sock, I was a bit bored so I decided to frog the whole thing and start over, now combining my love of the frog socks with the cursed pattern and lo! behold, it knits up like a dream and even the pattern seems a lot friendlier.

The Big Stash Reveal...

took place today.

Ahem.

Since we are renovating our flat, I had to clean out all the closets.

And this is when it hit my boyfriend that stash is truly a living thing. Since he last consciously observed me putting something in (and sometimes take something out), he never really realized that stash can really grow.

So here it is:

Several UFOS of the pullover-family (mostly red, burgundy or red...seems like I really do like the colour...)

Several UFOS of the sock-family (all kinds of colours and varied stages of being finished...now I know where all the 2.5 mm needles did go)

Several bags full of red, green and brown, black and white and pink and purple balls of wool, waiting to be knitted into whatever I intended it for...

This whole thing ended in him having a fit and then me having a fit in return (eat my pants, ya!) and me promising to spend night and day of the upcoming winter holidays knitting all that stuff into true and wearable things.

We'll See Where It Goes (and thankfully I have a lot of needles and tape measures and such)

SP 11

Getting there, getting there...will send off first parcel this week!!! *yay*

Back from Berlin!

Arrived home late, am a bit squashed...need to rest a little and then start cleaning up the mess...

Will work on my 1790s chemise later this day and made considerable progress on my long stockings.
