We’re already in the third week on this New Year but this posting will tell what I got off the needles the last days of previous year. I casted off a pair of really ugly socks, now they are buried in the darkest corner in my sock drawer. I do not like them since the selfstriping yarn didn’t behave as I had imagined it should and then I believe I did some mistake when calculating the gusset increases which gave a huge heelflap and the heel decreases are very bulky and the sock is flapping loose since it’s too wide over the ankle. What really puzzles me is the fact that I continued knitting even though it was pretty clear in a early stage the striping would be ugly… It must be the fact that I hate frogging, I never do if there is any other alternative. I guess I could use the as in-case-of-emergency-when-nothing-else-is-available-socks… or I could sew sock-monster of them.

Onneksi lapaset onnistui paremmin. Hieman reilut mutta kun oli alpaccalangasta sisälapaset niin kyllä kelpasi olla kun mittari hiipi alle -10 astetta (kuten pari päivää sitten).
Luckily the mittens turned out better. They are a little wide but when wearing a pair of thin alpacca-yarn mittens inside they are gorgeous when the temperature creeps below -10 degrees (as it did a few days ago).
