Just another pair of socks for charity

I'm still here, knitting and posting in slow motion it seems.

 

It's been a busy fall until now and it's about to get even busier. I'm -among other things- taking a sewing course at the moment! So perhaps there'll be some sewing content up soon. Also my Mum was visiting me a few weeks back and we had a blast. I'll try to get a few pics up on what we did (and the gorgeous socks she knit in one week!)

Seems like the summer of 2013 is a summer of socks for me. No, I'm not participating in any KAL, but it seems socks are all I knit.

 

This pair of gorgeously turqoise socks was finished a while back. Let me tell you more:

 

The pattern is called Kalajoki, which translates to "Fish River", and it is indeed a river in Western Finland. It's very "curvy", so the socks sport a similar, very cleverly made and stunning looking, pattern.

Boyfriend hats for cancer patients

To stay on the hat theme, here are two knits I finished ages ago, but never remembered to blog about them. I do think they are pretty enough to have their own post, though, don't you think?

 

In fact they were knitted last summer to support a little charity action called 100 Beanie Drive, and currently they are warming the heads of cancer patients in Australia!

I'm a sucker for vintage yarns

Wolle-Seide from Busse

... and Busse yarns from Nördlingen (where I have family) is one of my favourites.

 

The last Busse yarns I got were these lovely brown wool-silk blends - made in the BDR (so they have to have been made pre-1990!). I usually wouldn't knit with silk, but I might make an exeption here.

 

Any ideas what I could make with it?
