This is my virtual space for fiber. Besides me in my house, there are 4 fishes, 1 cat, 4 kids, 1 man and limited space for fiber. So the virtual one comes in handy.

Pink leaves do exist.

Here are some. And here are some more:

Finally a decent looking heel-flap - the garter edge made the picking-up of stitches so neat and even. I think I will not ever knit a heel-flap again without garter st. edges:

details:

yarn: Pink Sisu from Sandnes Garn less than 100 g.

needles: 2,5 mm bamboo dpns

pattern:Embossed leaves socks, IK Winter 2005

So, technically, according to my newyear's resolution I need one more thing finished before I get to start another project...So I decided to "finish" this blanket. The squares (ahem - the 2 1/2 of them) were fun and quick to knit - but the dawning truth about the unspeakable amount of ends that in the end would need weaving-in totally had me. The project is dead. Finished.

Then why not start something totally new! The word "crochet" crossed my mind. I hardly ever did that. A wise person would probably settle for a wash-cloth, a potholder or something else easily finish-able. And by no means a whole bedspread - more than 2 m wide. This is very much inspired by Liselotte's fantastic blanket-in-progress. What am I doing. It's fun:

So far I din't break my rules. I think. But then this just landed in my mail box. I swear I was going to wait - but somehow this happened:

Sorry! It must have been me!

Jeg kender problemet - det er lige før man får stress af det....

Wow, what lovely projects! I love the socks - pink leaves definitely exist! :) and the bedspread is gorgeous! I think I need one too. That seems like the kind of crochet that I could do too... simple and easy!

Best wishes~

i love these socks! i am just waiting for some yarn to arrive in my mailbox (which won't be for a little while yet) before i cast on for them myself.

btw- i need to fess up...i think i am going to rip off your garter stitch scarf pattern....i love that scarf! i need one for myself too!

ah, yes! "i don't know how it happened... and some great projects coming out of that! and this is not the sort of stockinette you can do while asleep either! the crochet blanket looks like fun! just pick colors and go!

Beautiful socks! And i totally agree re: the heel, it looks really nice that way. Your bedspread looks fantastic, and I love that cabled cardi - it's going to be absolutely gorgeous.
