FO: First pair of socks

This is my first pair of socks. There is nothing fancy about them.  They are far from perfect. Yet, I like these socks so much! Never in my life would I thought about knitting socks until I "met" Andi, from My Sisters Knitter. Her socks are such an inspiration that one can not just sit and admire. One have to give it a try.

Details on my Ravelry project page.


I am joining in Tamis Amis Fridays FOs. Have a knitty weekend!

Etsy Love: Decal Edition

Black and White. Knitting inspired. What's not to love? Is raining in Atlanta. Perfect weather for finishing a sock weight square for Bertie's blanket, making a dent on a shawl or casting on a sock.

Enjoy the weekend!

Friday is for handspun

This is my second handspun!  It went much easier than my first try - which I  have not shown here yet. By the way, the owner of this blog doesn't follow rules or order - if you haven't noticed before.

Fiber: Targhee
From: Emmett Dyeworks at the 2012 Royal Alpaca Challenge (Stone Mountain, Georgia)
Wraps per inch (WPI): 9
Yarn Weight: worsted
Yardage: ?? (oops, I misplaced my tag)

The colors remind me of the ocean back home. The Caribbean sea that I took for granted so many ears and now I miss so much! 

What to do with the handspun? Common sense is yelling at me to get the yardage before selecting a pattern. Right side of my brain is dreaming to cast on a cowl.
