May Day socks!

Alright, it's June, and I still have to show you my second pair of socks I made in May. This is another Anni Design sock, called "May Day". It was from the Sockamania Sock Club May 2007. This sock design was the reason I joined the club (I saw it on other blogs), and Anni offered this pattern again this May, as a one year celebration. Of course after finishing the other May socks, I had to cast on for these! I was surprised how the yarn behaved, but really shouldn't have been. The color is called "crazy color", enough said. I thought it would make nice stripes. I still like it though.

Look at that beautiful heel!I changed the toe part. Just went with the flow, and I really like it.

The only thing I'm not crazy about here is the fact, that the leg part slouches. :o(

pattern: May Day by Anni Design, May 2007

yarn: Regia 4-fach, 2 x 50g, color # 5443, crazy color

needles: 2.5mm, 5 DP

size: to fit my feet (L)

start-finish: May 8 - 10

June will not be as productive, knitwise, as May was. The going on QAL shawl is very slow now. Yesterday I didn't even pick it up, so no progress there. (by the way Monica, it's not flowing off my needles as easily as you'd think, no fairy blood in my veins, no magic either) ;o)

I'm on row 128 of 160 now, way over 500 stitches, and one round takes forever. It's still fun though.

Today we'll get 31C which will feel like 43C because of the humidity. Alone the thought of it, makes me want to cry. I hate that kind of weather. The A/C will be turned on today.

Have a great weekend!
