My July socks

In July I finished two pairs of socks.

The first one goes to my Sockapalooooza pal and I really hope that she will like these socks:



The second pair is just for me and it is the first time that I "designed" a pattern on my own. I used hand-painted yarn from Wollmeise, called Miss May:

Early socks but late post

I finished these socks early in June but forget to put a photo in our blog. So they turned really late now. ;)

I knit this pair for a German knitalong and it is a handpainted yarn we used. It was fun to see how the colouring turned out with the different patterns.
By the way, this pair is just for myself. Nobody else will get it.

My May socks

I was very busy this month and so far I finished five - yes really five - pairs of socks in May.

1st:
A pair for my mother. She got the socks at Mother's Day.


2nd:
A pair of 6 ply wool for my dear friend Veronika.


3rd:
A pair just for me. They are knit from a hand-dyed wool which I got at handgefaerbt.com. I have a standing order and get a packet with four skeins of hand-dyed wool four times a year. One packet for each season. This is one of the skeins I got for my summer subscription.


Aren't those colours beautiful? While knitting I was thinking of peppermint sweets. *lol*


4th:
Man's socks. A friend of mine will get them. He is the father of the girls who got last month's socks.


5th:
I just finished these socks today. While knitting I had to think of chicks the whole time. It's hand-dyed wool from wool-dragon. The wool is extremely soft and I can't wait to knit from another skein because the colour combination Christiane creates, are very beautiful.


And last a close-up on the colours:

PS: Don't know where my photos are. I can't see them any more. Has anybody got an idea?

One for you, one for me

So to say: one for March, one for April.



Again two pairs for Olaf's daughters. They will get their socks as an Easter present.
The left one is German size 33 and was finished in March. The one on the right was finished a few minutes ago, they're a German size 27. So these are my first socks for April.

I like how they turned out and am really satisfied with that mini ruffles.
I used Regia "Nordic Color", shade no. 5515.

Sisters' socks

Olaf has been a friend for many years now.
He has two girls, aged 4 and 7 years, and I wanted to knit the first socks for them.

I decided to use the same wool so that they won't fight about the nicest pair.



I used "Streifen-Jaquard" from Wolle Roedel (Germany). I'm very glad that the girl liked the socks and that the socks have the right size too. The next socks for them - which I hopefully will show in April - are already on my needles.

March Socks for myself

I love knitting very much but I always knit for other persons. I don't have socks I knit on my own. But with this pair everything changes. ;)



The wool is a "no name" yarn I bought at ebay but I'm quite sure that it is made by Opal/Germany.
I finished them on March 20th.

When I saw these frills (is this the correct word?) for the first time, I knew I had to give it a try.
I like how it came out and so I'll keep the socks for myself.

Belated

I just joined a few days ago and want to show my February socks although I wasn't in the knitalong.





I knit the socks for Tine who got the socks in our birthday sock swap of a German yahoogroup.
