Blog
Ever heard of WIP Wednesday? As far as I've understood the idea, it's basically a blog theme for Wednesdays to, well, show off your WIPs. I have been neglecting my WIPs here for so long, so I'll try to post a WIP or two a month - on Wednesdays!
So, here's one of my current WIPs, the Japanese Feather and Fan shawl (Rav link) which I am working in Kauni yarn in black and grey tones.
The pattern is really interesting, but I'm not sure about the yarn... It's just so dark, you know? I'm just not quite sure I'll end up liking and wearing this shawl! It is fun to knit though, so I think I will knit along at least for now, and decide again after I can see how the shawl is turning out - I'm rather in the beginning at the moment.
There are many issues close to my heart in this world, and FGM (female genital mutilation) is one of the most terrible ones I can think of. That's why I'm starting this little action - I hope you can participate by donating (possible only in Germany / to a German bank account), tweeting or sharing this post in any other way, or educating yourself about FGM.
I always surprise myself when I finish a pair of socks. I'm currently not very into socks, so every pair feels like a big accomplishment. I finished these in July but as it happens, the blog sometimes has hard time keeping up.
Anyway, here are the specs:
Yarn: Lana Grossa Meilenweit Mega Boots, one 100 gram ball; plenty of yarn was left over
Pattern: Fawkesby Monkey Toes (Rav link)
Needles: 2,5 mm dpns
Modifications: I did five repeats of the pattern on the cuff and not four as suggested in the pattern. Other than that I followed the pattern.
