Done!

But - ehh what is that blue? 

That blue is my extreme fear of running out of yarn. I could swear there was not going to be enough yarn!

But look!:

I think I should get myself a little yarn-weight because my eyes are evidently not good enough for "how-much-yarn-do-I-need-for-second-sock" measurement!

But older girl is very pleased though - and hey! - now we have yarn for mending when a toe or a heal breaks through... And that day will come - because she wants to wear them all the time. The Wollmeise superwash is like nothing I've seen or touched when it comes to silky sheen, softness and last but not least, non-scratchyness which is above and beyond important to older girl!

details:

yarn: Wollmeise superwash, sample skein of "Veilchen" which is normally darker but I also loved this light blue/violet variation of this particular skein! Pictures of this wonderful yarn can be found here!

needles: 2,5 mm dpns

pattern: Pomatomus

And the knitting goes on. More news soon. So much I want to cast on;

Yes. Those aqua lovely goodies. Thought you wondered about them. My Secret Pal is an angel. This is what I got from her last week:

It's Jaggerspun Zephyr, a lace weight absolutely marvellous yarn of 50 % silk and 50 % merino! And pattern for a creatures-of-the-reef shawl! Lovely! I must stop fondling this yarn very soon, otherwise I will wear the skeins out before they even saw a needle...She also sent me some wonderful angora and alpaca sample fleeces and a set of 2,25 dpns which are not available here and which indeed will be put into use very soon. THANK YOU, dear secret pal! 

So, I have som fon.. knitting to do.
