Gifts and Mirror Socks

Look what the mailman brought me yesterday:

Thanx Metal and knit! I love the goodies! You rock grrl :D

We started a new KAL in my Dutch sock knitting group. "Spiegelsokken" or Mirror Socks. I want to knit mine in the wollmeise colourway Frosch and I've been winding my yarn:

As you can see I'm great in winding rugby balls :D
I wonder if a ball winder winds nicer, more round balls of yarn..


Anyway. I started the cable cast on on 2 circs, knitted the first round, pulling the first stitch realy tight and look:

A large "mind the gap" -hole between my needles....

I'm going to frog this and do my regular cast on, so I can knit the first 3 stitches with working yarn and tail yarn together. That should give me a nice close fit and no hole.

I hope... :D

Rogue Hoody Yarn

Danny and me went to "De Breihoek" this afternoon. De Breihoek ( The knitting corner) is a LYS (for the muggle-knitters: LYS= local yarn shop) and there I found the yarn I want for my Rogue hoody.

It's Phildar Castel in the colourway Loden. I stole a picture from a website:


Th lady from the yarn shop told me she had only 9 balls and I need at least 10, but 11 is better. So she has placed an order (after calling every shop in The Netherlands that sells this brand asking for one more ball but no luck) So in a week or so I can cast on the Rogue Hoody.

After our visit to De Breihoek Danny and me went also to De Afstap, another LYS. There I got me some addi's 2 circs 40 cm, 2.5 mm for my next 1 sock on 2 circs project; and 1 circ 100 cm, 2,5 mm for my 2 socks on 1 circ project. I would love to learn that..
