...finally...

"Late" might be my middle name... I've been absent for some time- sorry about that. January's challenge got me back on track, but I haven't been able to post this earlier due to computerproblems. In January, I knit another pair of Elegance- those are the pink ones, for my DD2. I went down to 58 st, and did the cable for the larger size. Yarn: Senja from Gjestal, 2.5mm circularneedles, two-at-a-time, magic loop. She loves them, and has used them quite a bit already.
DS2 also wanted a pair- he got grey twisted cables, same yarn/needles/etc.
The blue ones are mine...Celtic Cable, done as pattern- except for the heel- I'm lousy at shortrowheels! But I found a toe-up heel with a heelflap somewhere that I've used a couple of times, and like. My main problem with toe-ups though is that I find it difficult to determine the length og the foot!
Anyway, these are great patterns and nice socks. Sorry about the blurry photo!
Now I need to find some yarn for this month's socks...

Have fun knitting...;-)

Twisted Cables


Finished them Sunday.
Yarn "Bird of Paradise" Purrrfect Sock Yarn, hand-dyed by Ruth at Cinders Knits.

DH had taken one look at the skein & said he liked it, I thought the pattern suitable. So that's another part of his Christmas present sorted - it probably won't be cold enough for him to want to wear them til then anyhow!

Just wondering about what to call them - Twisted Cables pattern, Bird of Paradise yarn: Twisted Birds? Cables of Paradise? Flying to Heaven?
