Fiona in the snow

Here are some pics of Fiona in the snow. They taken at the wonderful winter weather we had some weeks ago, now it is only cold, but now more snow longer.

Here are the first socks of the year. As it is going better with my hand, knitting is fast as before. Three of the pairs are ready at the last week, as I watched Biathlon at TV.

This are for my brother, they are knitted with Opal 6ply called Tiger.

This are for me, in size 40, knitted with Tausendschön yarn. The pattern is the Faceted Rib pattern from The little box of socks

This socks also, and also the others who will follow, knitted for me in size 40. The yarn is from Drachenwolle and the pattern is Maelstrom from Cookie A.
