Nornir finished

Nornir by Caoua Coffee, SM5 2nd round sock, #5.

Nornir, SM5-2 wip

- a current Ravelry sock competition in the Sock Madness Forever group, (these look lumpy because the balls of yarn are inside each sock.)

sm5-2 wip

- a Sock Madness Forever event!

... and so the Madness begins, again ...

Nornir, sm5-2 wip



I have enough yarn now, found a partial ball and scraps of the same yarn in my stash although I'll have to overdye those bits after the socks are finished.

SM5-2 sock 5 info & test email rec'd

- overdyeing frogged Pomatomus sock yarn in preparation for SM5-2, (Sock Madness Forever Ravelry group,) sock #5, (is it teaser #1?? brioche??)

... and I'm still wai......ai...ting!!!

One ball of yarn had a knot/cut in it already, now the other one has a cut, too, that I made when trying to rewind these while watching, "The Girl Who Play With Fire," (not a good idea to do both at the same time as the movie is in Swedish with English subtitles!)

Larus convertibles, wip

- modifying these into full mittens for sub-zero winters.

Larus + Ardea by spinnity, is a twined knitting pattern from Knitty, Winter 2008, (free online knitting magazine.)

Lillehammer FG's finished

A modified version of Lillehammer mittens, see heartlandknits mittens;

Specs;
twined knit over 72 sts,
heavy fingering weight yarn,
2.0 mm & 2.25 mm circular needles,

These are probably a ladies M/L or a mens S, too big for me.
