Der Admiral ist begeistert und bedruckt II


after making the first pair of socks with a toe-up construction from the "admiral" yarn i really liked the results. using the remnants of the yarn to make another pair (need to be anklets as i have less than half of the skein)

blanket time


my grey wool blanket has been "in progress" for too long, so i have decided to tackle it. working on it a bit more now, it will take ages surely and i will need to switch projects as the wool is really quite harsh to work with (homespun wool from the aran islands). but the blanket should be really cosy and lasting, methinks.

Prague Loop loves wool, needles and quiet




the snow has some really calming capacities.

playing with sock yarn and feeling very very good.

made up a lacy pattern for a blue/gray sock or three


Der Admiral ist begeistert und bedruckt.



making my first pair of toe-up socks, and no, they are not perfect:))

using a german yarn called Admiral (the type of it is bedruckt, i.e. printed), so these are called Der Admiral ist begeistert und bedruckt.
