...not exactly BLUE bells...



...but the socks are done!

For some reason I thought I would not knit these, at least not in time, because of other stuff on my needles,the green and blue yarn I had looked awful together, and a confirmation coming up, but then I've spent the better part of the last two days in bed with a back that is not cooperative, so- here they are: Bluebells...I've used Sisu colour 3525 for the solid, and Opal Euel for the multicoloured. I started doing two at a time with magic loop, but got only halfway down the leg before separating...I spent more time untangling than knitting-LOL-so I finished one on 4 DPN's and one using magic loop. Both 2.5mm. Turns out I knit better and prettier on 4DPN's, so I guess that will be my choice for stranded knitting in the future. Oh well, it's a learning experience:-)

They're not big enough for me( I didn't have enough Opal left to continue the pattern), so they go straight into the gift basket. Nice to have something that's ready;-)

Enjoy spring!

Oh, I really like your color combination! And I hope knitting them was a good therapy for your back.

Oh I wish I could see them. Must be a problem on my end. I like dpn too, I have tried circulars but I guess I am too use to DPNs
