Never been to Greece

Next shawl was a quick one and the first one I ever done in cotton.
It turned out so small but expanded well when it was blocked. I did find it hard to tie the ends properly.

Loved the picot bind off.

Yarn: PRO LANA OCEAN
Pattern by: Katherine Lynn

The Kindness Shawl done

Knitted this beautiful shawl in a stunning colour but wrong yarn. I could not block it properly because of the bind off I did (Icelandic bind off). So I might rip it all up, knit it again with a better yarn and use the stunning blue one for something else, because I have 2 skeins of it.

Incantation Socks finnished!

These socks were quick and fun to knit. The pattern is so well written and looks great, also fit perfectly.

I joined in with the designer Kay F Jones, from the Bakery Bears Podcast for her #BBOpalKal to knit up things only using Opal Yarn to free up some stash space.  I will defiantly knit these again.

BBOpal KAL

I have joined a KAL that my favourite podcasters The Bakery Bears” have started the 25th of May and it’s running till 30th of June. The name of it is #BBOpalKAL and it’s all about to use up the stash of Opal yarns.
This is the one I have started with, a beautiful colour in orange and purple. The colour is: 9111


And I also decided to use their pattern as well. So a pair od socks called Incantation Socks by Kay Jones and you can buy it on Ravelry.
This is how far i have got on the first sock.

Happy Knitting!

First pair of them both are done and I have now started the sedond one for my hubby.

Socks and striped ones.

For some time now I have been looking at these socks and wanted to make a pair. Now I finally working on them, but finding a problem. Where the coloured yarn and the solid yarn switch places, a ridge apears on the inside of the sock and I hope I will not feel it when I’m wearing them. Love the effect though.
