Last minute gift

I made a last minute gift for my son, since he loved my Falkgarn socks.



Just a 2x2 rib this time, but the rest of the pattern is the same.



I hope he will be happy with the result. :)

Thanks again to Marianne G for gifting me the yarn. *hugs*


Tusen takk for alle hyggelige kommentarer de siste dagene. Jeg lover å besøke alle som har vært innom!

Magic Södera socks

I have startet on the Södera Socks, the last socks in the Norwegian Kal "Sokker 2007". I have made all of the socks in this years KAL, if I make this pair in December. The signing up for next years "Sokker 2008" is on.

Jeg har startet på Södera sokkene som er det siste sokkeparet i "Sokker 2007". Hvis jeg får strikket dette paret, så har jeg strikket alle parene i Sokker 2007. Påmeldingen til Sokker 2008 er i gang, og jeg er selvsagt påmeldt der også.

Jeg har krympet maskeantallet fra 60 til 40 masker, så det blir noen tettsittende sokker, men det er bedre enn at de blir alt for store. Jeg la opp ved å bruke magic cast on, og har fulgt opp med å strikke sokken på en lang runpinne, magic loop.
