The pandemic has dropped me into my lost hippie life... I'd been wanting some overalls for months but held off thinking I was to old. Well in August, seeing my future this winter, I decided to enjoy life a little and buy a pair of overalls - age be damned. After wearing them off and on for two weeks I bought a second pair!! They're the best. Anyway, these rainbow socks - with a little silver in them, like my hair - are going to be a welcome addition to the overalls and Birkies this fall and winter! Pattern: Fish Lips Kiss Heel Socks Yarn: Two Sisters Yarn CO. Colorway: Somewhere Over The Rainbow Needle Size: US Size 1
This month I'm "traveling" to Norway and taking a mitten class from the lovely Patricia. Patricia raises a heritage breed of sheep on her farm across the lake from Selbu, Norway. The class has been broken down into weekly lessons which can be viewed over and over if necessary. Norwegian cast on, double pointed needles, setting up the the back and palm of the mitten as well as a few Norwegian words have been learned. If any difficulty arises she will pop up an additional tutorial. I thought I'd properly completed my thumb gussets until I viewed a tutorial Patricia had uploaded. She explained how to use your phone to flip the mitten chart and BAM, I realized the left mitten gusset was wrong! I ripped it out and completed it correctly, learning a valuable lesson. Class will be completed the middle of October but I've signed up for Patricia's next class, Selbu Socks.
