They are done. My first knitted socks are completed 馃槃.
I am very satisfied with them and with the experiment of making the pair. The second one was a bit tedious as I was knitting the traditional vest for my dad where the target date approaches fast alongside aswell and I still don't really love knitting socks.馃槬
They are indeed completed in lesser time and I may knit myself some cozy ones for the cold season but with all the enticing patterns of sweaters and shawls I'll most likely opt for the latter ones. 馃槈
But I like my first socks very much. The pattern Mirrorwork Socks still looks fabulous and the Malabrigo sock yarn 808 Violeta Africana is a joy to knit.
I used needles size 3,5mm(US 4) and used 54 g for a size 3,5 in shoes.
Thank you so much again to DieDreivomBlog Jetztkochtsieauchnoch,feinmotorik.blogspot and feierabendfrickeleien for the inspiration by hosting a sockKAL and thus enticing me to try this experiment. Sadly I missed these sources of inspiration last week during the Cologne Yarnfestival (Get well soon dear Jane馃尭馃尭馃尭) but the inspiration continues nonetheless. feinmotorik.blogspot knitted up her second Askew me Poncho von Stephen West and I'm hugely tempted to make one for myself. Strangely I didn't really like the pattern that much but her first one and her second one are incredibly beautiful. So I'm in search of yarn for my version or rather I can't decide which colour combo I want mode.
Which isn't that bad for now as I started a new travel project with two colour brioche in the meantime.
And as if I wouldn't be host to a couple of other wips I started a new sweater by Isabell Kraemer this weekend. More on this one will come later.馃槃
Have a lovely time
All my love
Anja
