Finally took a picture of my Falling Leaves socks!

Eindelijk een foto van mijn Vallende Blaadjes sokken!



Because my DaCapo has still not arrived, I've started on another pair of socks. These are from a pattern by Regia, no 5631. I don't know how to wear them yet (with which shoes), but I do like them.

Omdat ik mijn DaCapo nog steeds niet in huis heb, ben ik maar aan een volgend paar sokken begonnen. Dit is een patroon van Regia, nr 5631. Ik weet nog niet waarmee ik ze moet dragen (met welke schoenen), maar ik vind ze wel erg mooi.

Falling leaves, again

I've almost finished my second Falling Leaves sock. Just the toe to knit! I think I'll be able to finish it tomorrow. Will post picture then.

Mijn Vallende Blaadjes sokken zijn bijna klaar. Alleen nog de teen breien! Ik denk dat ik ze morgen af krijg. Dan zal ik ook een foto plaatsen.

Falling leaves

I've finished my first 'Falling leaves' sock last night!

De eerste 'Vallende Blaadjes' sok is af!




On to the second one!

Op naar de tweede!

Falling leaves

My 'Falling leaves' socks are comming along fine. These are the socks I designed myself. One of the patterns I use is called Falling leaves, hence the name.

Mijn 'Vallende Blaadjes' sokken schieten al aardig op. Deze sokken heb ik zelf ontworpen. Een van de patronen die ik ervoor gebruikt heb heet Vallende Blaadjes, vandaar de naam voor deze sokken.


The pattern is not very clear from this picture, but it gives you some idea, so I wanted to show it anyway. I'll put up a better picture when the first sock is finished. The yarn used is called ONline 79 - 916.

Het patroon is niet echt duidelijk op deze foto, maar het geeft je misschien toch een beeld. Ik zal een betere foto plaatsen als de eerste sok helemaal af is. Ik heb ONline 79 - 916 gebruikt.

More past work

Here is a picture of the first socks I knitted. Well, they are not actually the very first socks I knitted, because I did those about 30 years ago when I was at primary school! Unfortunately I don't have a picture of those socks. But I remember making them and being very proud when they were finished.
These socks I knitted last Christmas for my eldest daughter and they were my re-introduction to knitting socks and the start of a new hobby.

Hier een foto van het eerste paar sokken dat ik gebreid heb. Dat is niet helemaal waar, want het allereerste paar heb ik een jaar of 30 geleden al gebreid. Op de Lagere School! Helaas heb ik daar geen foto van. Maar ik weet nog heel goed dat we het deden, en dat ik heel trots was toen ze af waren.
Deze sokken heb ik in de afgelopen Kerstvakantie gebreid voor mijn oudste dochter. Mijn hernieuwde kennismaking met het breien van sokken en het begin van een nieuwe hobbie!



After that fist pair of socks I wanted to start on a new pair right away, but my youngest daughter prefered a pair of leg warmers.

Na dit eerste paar sokken wilde ik meteen met een tweede paar beginnen, maar mijn jongste dochter had liever een paar beenwarmers.

Update

I've been busy the last few days. I've finished my first tasseled sock. It's beautiful, but it was hard work. Still have to start on the second one, but wanted to do something else first.



By the way, they are called tasseled socks, but I've decided to leave the tassels off. Have to think of another name!

I've also made a pair of socks for my youngest daughter (I hadn't made any for her yet, and she's been begging me the last few days, so had to make her happy). I used Opal CanCan. The pattern is from the book Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch.



This morning I started on a pair of socks I designed myself. I used two patterns from The Knitting Stich Bible by Maria Parry-Jones. It would look better in a solid colour, but I don't have any at the moment. I like this yarn as well though!

Tasseled socks

I've finaly made a start on the tasseled socks. It's not an easy task, cause they are in a jacquard motif. I'm using black Opal Uni 32 and Trekking Colorline - 145 for the motifs.

I've also been busy on my shawl. It's almost a meter long now! But not finished yet. I'll post a picture as soon as it's finished.

Past work

Here are some little baby socks I made for the son of a friend. I used some leftover Opal Feeling - 1701

Socks

Last Friday I finished a pair of socks for my mother. I used a pattern I found on the Wolhalla site (see links). I'm afraid the pattern for this sock is only available in Dutch. See Kadootjes, third sock from the left on the top row. I used Opal Handpainted - Zomernacht for my socks. The pattern is not too hard, and the result is great.



I would like to start on another pattern I found on the Wolhalla site; socks with tassels (first sock on the second row). I've already got Opal Uni 32 - Black and some lovely Trekking Colorline 145 for the pattern. But I don't have needles size 3 yet, so I can't start. Hopefully I'll get them soon!
