holiday kal 4

Lana Grossa Olympia - 2 balls, 100 grams each. 200 meters in total, 10 mm needles and something warm as result. Winter gift for me...

Lana Grossa Olympia, 200 gram/200 meter totaal. Gebreid op 10 mm naalden. Lekker warm, ondanks de gaten die erin zitten

Yikes!!!

This is going to be a challenge. Started out ok.......with yarn I dyed at a class. Doesn't look to bad in the skein....but then.......

AKKKKKK.......looks like someone dined on fiesta ware and then threw it back up on my knitting. This photo doesn't begin to show how awful the colors really are. Unless the color pooling magically presents an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe or Christ on the Cross....I will be overdying. Since I have never done this...I am pleading with those having experience to message me with advice. I am not giving up.......

Based on the pattern: Tender Heart by Annie Lee

Holiday KAL

I'm in for the holiday(or not) knitting. The first project is knit in Dream in Color Smooshy. It's a Ravelry SKA KAL, which had to be knit in chartreuse. My color is called Spring Tickle and the pattern is Watercress. Size 2.25 mm - #1 needles.

Holiday (or not) KAL!

My first pair of lacy socks!
