One small (pair of) FO and more summer..
Before the man's and mine little trip to Denmark (thanks for grandparents!....) I finished the Online cotton socks! They were perfect in the cool fan-air of the car. My feet are allways cold while driving - in fact especially in summer when I mostly wear sandals (ahem - with no socks in them...). This time, however they were warm and comfy:
details:
yarn: online cotton, approx. 60 g (these socks being more like anclets - I had enough yarn left to make a pair of children's socks, you better ask my niece for pictures! ;))
needles: 5 dpns 2,25 mm.
pattern: basic sock pattern, shortrow (pacman!) heel, which looks best on these fair-isle-illusion yarns, I think.
So in the car they were great - but I threw them away when I got a glimpse of Vesterhavet (The western ocean - off the west coast of Jutland, Denmark, in my opinion probably one of the most beautiful places on earth) ....
I think I've hardly ever seen that ocean as calm as that particular sunday...

Canīt decide what I like more -the beach with this beautiful skyline, it is like the end of the world. Wish I could be there, too.
Or the beautiful colours of your socks. And you are right, air con in cars is always making freezing feets and shoulders - so where was your beautiful shawl? |

I think that the light in Europe is very different from Australia - here coastlines look very stark and bleached - but Jutland looks gorgeous, so romantic. : )
Your socks look cute! |
