Blizzard Socks


I needed to have a bit of a rest from the Riddari jumper before I get on with the colour work on the yoke, so I thought I cast on a pair of socks in between. Kay Jones from the podcast The Bakery Bears have released a new pattern for us Patreons and it's called Blizzard

So here is the first sock done and I have already done the ribbing on the second sock. It's a bit hard to see it on this photo but the lace pattern is showing fir trees. I have to say that I love her patterns because they are so well written and the patterns are nice and fun to knit.


You can find all her patterns on Ravelry

Riddari


This is the first time I do colour-work and so far it's going well. I'm at the "putting it together" stage now and I'm terrified. I just hope that I will be able to make this one.

Some projects on the Go!

I have a few projects on the go and jumping between them depending on how I fell and the one that has been waiting longest to be picked up again is a bag, a Mochila Bag.




Next one is the Sólja Jumper.

Next is a pair of socks that I have started twice before and this is the third time, the "Hermiones Everyday Socks"


Next in line is the beautiful shawl "Longbourn" by Kay F Jones.

Then to the second "Sommarväskan /Summer bag" by Järbo Garn AB and it's not much to see at the moment.

Then it's the Christmas Scarf because Christmas will soon be here, so why not using a yarn with inbuilt tinsel ?
 

 
And then to the latest project, a double think crocheted pot holder.
 

 
So these are the things I'm having on the Go at the moment.

Promenade Socks

The designer Kay F Jones has done it again! She has made another fantastic sock pattern called Promenade Socks and can be bought on Ravelry. This woman should, in my opinion, receive a medal for pattern writing. They are so well written that you fly through it and end up with a fantastic item. And this time it's this pair of socks, the Promenade Socks.



Pattern by: Kay F Jones aka bryonybear (she also have a podcast together with her husband Dan aka ObiwanKnitter, called The Bakery Bears).
Yarns: Opal Sweet & Spicy Colourway: 8612 Honey. Opal Uni Solid 4 ply Colourway: 5184 Olive Green.
Needles: 2.5 mm, DPNs
