the result

I started on Monkey sock with the Kool-Aid dyed yarn. I got some new ideas on how to dye it next time.

Kool-Aid + Fabel = ?

I tried dyeing some yarn today for the first time. I used four packages of Kool-Aid for 100 grams of yarn. I had bought two balls of the very affodable Fabel (21 swedish kronor for one 50 gram ball!), but it's 75 % superwash wool and 25 % polyamid so I didn't know how it would work.
So far it's looking good. Hanging to dry in the bathroom.

Sockapalooza

I've started on the socks for Sockapalooza. It's going to be a pair of white Zonki socks.

Trying hard

I'm really trying hard to use up all my sockyarn left overs.
This is a small phone bag knitted with two 2,5 mm needles. I used the knit one, slip one, knit one, slip one .... turn, knit one slip one, knit one , slip one... method (like a large I-cord) creating an inside out bag.
When it was as long as I needed I used a third needle to open it up and turn it right side out. Then I bound off one side and continued with the flap on the other side. On the end of the flap a did a button hole.

Ormis

I call him Ormis.
And I think he's got a brother.

Socks for Peter

This is a toe-up pattern I found that I changed to a regular sock. I used 2,5 mm dpns and Fabel sock yarn from Garnstudio.

Thermal news

The progress so far on my Thermal sweater. I've used up all the first three yarns I got from my Hemlis, but I found yarn from the same dyelot as the first in a shop here in Gothenburg.

Hemlispresent 2!

This is what I received the other day from my Hemliskompis. Two Kido Mohair, one book (no, I haven't read it, but I started on it last night), one tiny cute rabbit and some nicely coloured safety pins. Thank you, thank you !
I'm not sure what to do with the yarn yet, but I have some ideas...and no, I haven't got a clue who you are.
