Socks

Finally, something to post about. Just a pair of plain ol' black (charcoal grey really) socks for my Dad. They were supposed to be for Father's Day but they're a bit late. Fortunately I'm sure my Dad will forgive me. I don't think I'll use this yarn again as the ball was seriously underweight, it was supposed to be 100g but when I put it on my yarn scale it was only 91g. I've never found a ball that was the perfect weight, most are underweight, but 9g is a lot of yarn to be missing.

Pattern: Basic Sock
Yarn: Lang Yarns Jawoll Color Jacquard in 902.0156
Needle: 2.5mm
Gauge: 40 stitches and 48 rows = 10 cm

Current Weather
24C and mostly sunny.

Camo Blanket - Night Sky

Another baby blanket has dripped from the needles. I'm loving entrelac, the way it allows you to combine two colours is just wonderful. And it seems to work well for a yarn with a really short colour sequence. I know that if I tried to do a long row with the Twilight colourway it would just look like a mess but in short rows it works nicely.

Pattern: Improvised
Yarn: Craft Smart Value Ombres in Twilight and Craft Smart Value Solids in Navy
Needle: 5.5mm
Gauge: not critical

I put this together in memory of Squish:

He died close to a year ago now but only recently did I feel ready to do this for him.

Current Weather
20C and partly cloudy. After three days of cold rain it got nice again just in time for the weekend.
