Is it possible?...

...I made a pair of socks:)

You know, I am not a sock knitter. I must admit, I hate it:S

Or do I?

The problem was I think, that I had problems with the heal and cap knitting and that made me frustrated. I allmost allways had a one sock UFO left:(

But this time I bought thikker yarn and I made a for me different heal, called a boomerang heal and it worked allmost fine. Well I finished them and that give me enough confidence to try one more time. The cap went well. And the next pair will hopefully get better.

Happy new year

Happy new year and good morning:)

I hope you had all a very good x-mas and a good start into the new year. Here it was quite good. Kids were pleased with presents and we all had a good time together.

I got myself some Knit Pro needles for x-mas and they are so wonderful to knit on that I finished my shawl Birch http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/falling-birch-leaves which I wrote earlier about.

Yesterday I washed it and tried to block it, but it was not working as good as I wanted. So I had to improvise a bit cause I have no blocking wires or something like it. ( Have to spend some money on it for the next project:p :)

Anyway, here I show you the result from my improvising and I became quite pleased with it.

Yes, I am still an amateur when it comes to Lace but I am working on it to become better. Still I think for my first blocking it`s not too bad.

The shawl is about 2 metres long and about 45cm wide on the smallest part.
