| Paton's Stretch Socks yarn |
I finished my Hermione socks! I took ages on the first one (I swear, almost 2 months) but the second one flew off the needles. I think I was faster because I knew how happy I was with the first one, and I wasn't working on the Citron anymore. I love them. I love the colours, the pattern, the fact that I made them. Hurray! I think the pattern was great for my novice sock knitting skills. It kept me entertained, but wasn't too complex while I worried about turning the heel and all that. And now, I can't wait to knit more socks!
The second FO is a hat. Or rather, a beret.
I used a mystery ball of yarn that my parents brought me in July. Hence I used the Meret or Mystery Beret pattern on Ravelry. Very fast knit, really rather pleased with it. Yup, going to have to keep this one for myself.
And that's all I've got for this week. I have another project almost off the needles but that will have to wait for next week. Happy Crafting!
Both of your FOs are lovely, I love the colour of wool you have used in your socks...makes them look very cosy :) x
ReplyDeleteThe socks look awesome! Someday I will knit socks for myself...but I am still just doing them for my kids right now :-)
ReplyDeleteNah those aren't the socks of a sock novice, they a much better than that. They fit perfectly and look sturdy (and pretty) which is exactly how socks should be. The hat is gorgeous too, it looks like it should be worn for a fall activity!
ReplyDeleteThe socks are gorgeous! Lovely colors. And I love the beret ... very nice pattern!
ReplyDeleteLove those socks, I may have to queue that pattern myself ;) The beret looks fab, perfect choice of pattern for the yarn :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome socks!!!! I often find the 2nd sock faster too, in desperation to wear them together. Looks like a successful week for you.
ReplyDeleteI love both of your FOs this week and am very inspired by your beret, it's such a lovely shape.
ReplyDeleteAndria--Excellent projects, both...but I cannot believe how absolutely PERFECTLY everything lines up in your socks!! I am so impressed! (The colors are great, too!) XO-
ReplyDeleteI like the socks a lot, but absolutely love the beret. Would love to see it on a live person!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love both FOs, but the colors on the beret are really calling to me. Very soothing!
ReplyDeleteLovely socks and beret! Especially the beret, super cool!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your fos are great! I love the socks, they look great with jeans.
ReplyDeleteLove the socks! Thanks for the encouragement - I'm trying to get myself to knit my first pair of socks, and the fact that yours are fabulous and you said you are a novice at it really makes me feel that I can do it too!!
ReplyDeleteBoth lovely. Hurray for socks! And a big hurray for the urge to knit more socks :)
ReplyDeleteBoth your FO's are lovely....really like the colors in your socks.
ReplyDeleteI really should knit those socks. I love them in every yarn I've seen that pattern in. That slouch is super adorable. Tis the season for sassy hats.
ReplyDeleteI love your socks!
ReplyDeletewow! so symmetrical! the socks. Great hat too!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in your socks and they look great. Your hat is equally nice and looks like a great hat to wear every day. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the socks were made by a pro!! Socks are the one thing that may break my resistance to knitting. LOL
