Årets næste par strømper - dem til min ældste niece - er færdige, og DE var sjove at strikke! De startede med, at jeg ville strikke i Wollmeise, eftersom jeg kun har tøsefarver tilbage. Det røde bundt så godt ud, og så gik jeg på jagt efter mønster i min seneste strømpebog og faldt over "Textured Lace Socks". Det er nemlig både fint og ikke alt for indviklet!
Køen til katakomberne hjalp, så jeg lærte mønsteret udenad, og SÅ gik det ellers hurtigt. Det var ret nemt at lige skulle have et diagram mere, siden det kun var 12 pinde, nemlig.

The next pair of socks this year - for my oldest niece - are done, and THOSE were fun to knit! I started out wanting to use Wollmeise, since I only have the girlish colors left. The red skein looked good, and then I started hunting down a pattern in my latest sock book and stumbled across "Textured Lace Socks". Since it's both pretty and not too complicated!
In the line for the catacombs, I learned the pattern by heart, and from there, it went really fast. It was easy to take just one more repeat, which was only 12 rows.

Faktisk tog de under 1 uge at lave, hvilket jeg er yderst tilfreds med. Mønsteret er flot, og jeg kunne da egentlig også godt selv tænke mig sådan nogle strømper!
De vejer 135 gram, er strikket på pind 2,5 som sædvanlig, og de skal så lande omkring Aarhus i løbet af nogle uger. Tror, hun bliver glad.

They actually took a bit less than a week to make, which I'm very happy with. The pattern is beautiful, and to be honest, I would like socks like that for me!
They weigh 135 grams, I used 2.5 mm needles, and these socks need to land around Aarhus during a few weeks. I do think she will be happy.
