A month in review

Hi there!

So, this is the first time I actually have a second post in the same month! I must be really serious about it this time 😀

So last time, I think I mentioned a bit of dying that I wanted to share.

I dyed 200 grams of superwash merino fiber, which wants to be my first handspun socks when it grows up:

Dye day

Also, I have been experimenting with different colorways on sock yarn, and this is what I came up with this month:

It is super hard to take good pictures in my home, so please excuse this overexposed picture.. They are so much more lovely in person!

These want to be a hat when they grow up!

In July, we always have many places to go, lots of festivals, games, etc

This years HFL (Hungarian Football League) final, the Hungarian Bowl was a very exciting game, even though we were rooting for the losing team, we had a lot of fun! And not the least, I also finished two half socks that I started at the beginning of the game!

Also, we wentto Veszprémi Utcazene Fesztivál, where they have all kinds of street musicians. Every year, we have the most fun, we meet the best musicians,and we always find music that we fall in love with, most of the time before they become famous.

That’s me with my handsome husband of two months! :) Lot’s-o-love!

During all this craziness, I finished my July socks for the boxosoxkal hosted by Voolenvine. I’m already starting n my August socks, for which I don’t really have a pattern yet..

I used part of the Frasier Fir pattern by Verena Cohrs. Onlythe cable part, since I already knit over the heel. I planned on doing an Evergreen, but I totally failed to realize that it was top-down.. I thought about modifying the pattern to be bottom-up, but I totally wasn’t up for doing the math… Oh, well, I’ll still do he evergreen once.

So, I think that’s all! Hopefully, I will see you soon!

Happy knitting until then!
