Cable socks

I also finished these, actually before I finished H's socks (in Carolina acrylic yarn on s4 DPNs) - this is the finer gauge needle project I mentioned I wanted to do, or rather, this is what I did. If there is interest I might write down the pattern for these and post here?

DONE!!

I started these a couple of months back actually, but finally - done. H's space invader socks.

I started knitting intarsia in socks because someone told me it is very difficult. It isn't (I have knit much larger intarsia patterns than this!), but it is extremely wearisome to deal with all the ends, so I don't think I will do it for quite a while now...

Here you go, documentation of the finished product. Arctic wool yarn on s5 DPNs.

Hats

Red and green hat, knitted sideways and with increases and decreases. Trysilgarn Arctic, s5 needles.

Carolina (which is an acrylic yarn), knitting with double yarn (orange and black) on s6 needles. Gives plenty of opportunity to knit in small semihidden patterns! The orange is more orange in reality than it looks here.

And some detail from the orange/black: 

Knitting projects

I still haven't finished H's space invader socks; mainly because I need him to sit still when I am knitting so I can try them on him and figure out a workaround for the pattern, and that sort of time just haven't existed. I have also been struggling with a hat that I am about to frog for the fourth time to reknit, hoping to get it right this time.

However I did finish a pair of striped socks for myself during late summer, and I also knit a hat (not on picture). Then I have knit some mittens! I always find it a bother to have to take off my mittens to dig out a bus card when it is cold, so these are bus card mittens where you can get your fingers out to look for those pesky keys, bus cards, and whatnot, without taking the entire mitten off. Buttons neatly away too of course, for those a bit warmer days.

The green and red ones are new; the grey ones I knit last winter but gave new buttons. Notice the owl cable in the green ones - there are also owl cable ribbing on the "hood". I have tried to make the "hood" decorative on both sides as well.

Up for grabs if you want them, holler!

Given away! 

Mine! 

In all honesty though; most of these things are bound to be given away. I don't need a million pairs of mittens myself :)

Yarn: Socks and grey/purple mittens - Trysilgarn Arctic, s5 needles.
The other two pairs of mittens: Tuva on s.6 needles.

Time for me to knit something on finer needles (especially seeing as the failing hat is on s.9!!)... and I got some alpacka yarn that will suit me well I think!

Bedtime

Monday we were both at home together - FINALLY, Linus seemed to say, happily throwing himself on the bed. While visiting Nestor and Nemesis isn't horrible, being at home is better than anything, clearly. Seeing him so happy is good :)

I too stayed in the bed for an entire day, with tea and the computer.

It was a fairly warm day for being midseptember, more like summer.
