52 week KAL May maz

Here is my Fishermen´s summer sweater finished pic. Don´t know the yardage, because I twisted 8 threads of a pure bamboo weaving yarn into a knitting yarn without knowing the NM or tex, but it is worsted and knit on 3,5mm circulars. Being my size (XXL) it might qualify for a full project.

I will be wearing it in Coventry for the Ravelry UK Day this weekend.

(Yes, I know, I am German, but they did a good job and there was a cheap flight...All in all this will be cheaper than going to the German Raveller´s meeting in September, where I am honoured to give classes in "Designing your own Aran Style Sweater". I am so looking forward to it.)

Update - 52 week KAL - Anything goes KAL - maz

Last week I have been very busy. I had pain and had to stay at home completely. So I tried to work my pain away. Here are my projects so far:

The green socks actually are emerald green, a stunning colour I achieved for the first time. Now I have to learn how to manipulate my digi to show the right colour. A neverending story.

Here is another Maggie bag coming, without straps yet and before fulling, hence a progress pic.



Then there are my His-Socks. It is a very delicate yarn of silk, bamboo and merino, which he should not wear as hiking socks. But my dear husband was so constantly murmuring how nice indeed the herringbone socks were and so truly unisex a pattern....




I simply had to do a variation for him. Here are my Hers-socks, which some might remember from last years´ TdF-KAL.

And then there is Mrs.Esther Nurse from Sheringham´s pattern which I had to do for a basic summer top to be worn over a shirt, made from sheer bamboo. It was a terrible yarn for knitting as it glides faster than a bamboo needle could stop it. But it might be what I wanted: something to wear when it is hot, covering all the curves I want to be hidden.
