I've finished a pair of socks, no not recently, back in June. It's socks, but it should have been a pair of knee heighs. I did not have enough yarn for that. I only make one bell underneath the big design. The interesting thing though, is the Italian cast on. I like it! I've used it since several times. It looks neat, and it's strechier than the usual long tail cast on I use.
Here you can see how a wonderful knit knee heigh should look like. Her stitch definition is way better than mine.
The yarn is a cheap one, but it's not nice to work with. It's splitty, and as I said, the stitch definition is not great.
specs:
pattern: Schachenmayr nomotta, Inspiration Nr.32 # 4331
yarn: elann.com, Sock-It-To-Me in green, 2 balls each 50g
needles: 2.5mm
size: womens 10.25"
start-finish: May 19-June 16
This booklet has several other nice twisted stitch knee heigh patterns in it.
I'm a bit in a knitting funk, lost mojo maybe? All I want to do is spin. I've seen people have startitis all over the place, but I don't even want to cast on something new. Picked up my sweater and knit an inch or so, put it away again. I finished all the crochet squares a while ago, and just today I started assembling them, but not really feeling the love for it right now. On the other hand, I've printed out a gazillion new patterns, which I liked, to add to all those others already waiting forever to be knit.

Beautiful!
kisses.
Thanks for the reminder of Knotions. I appreciate the sock patterns since I was envious of those who did attend sock summit!
I think the urge to knit/spin/sew whatever comes in waves. If you do multiple things especially. I go through long periods of just knitting, or just sewing and then BAM something inspires me and I jump to the other thing. And looking at those socks, WOW, you did a great job, even though they arent knee high they are very lovely.
My knitting 'shut off valve' is in April/May/June. That's when my knitting mojo takes it's break.
Maybe this is your time.
No matter, knitting mojo is like a boomerang. It always comes back.
Very pretty socks!
Liebe Monika!
ein tolles Muster.
du hast solch einen kreativen Blog,

Monika,
That's a really Beautiful pair of socks!! I love it!
I understand what you say about starting new projects. I think I'm feeling the same for these days.
It's pops pretty nicely on that yarn too, very nice. That pattern is cute too.
Don't feel bad. I get the knitting crazies in August every year. I get all excited about new patterns, booklets, yarns, etc. But, when I pick up the needles, I feel meh and put them back down. I think it's the 90+ degree weather we are finally getting here.
Sehr schön, viele Grüße Anette
Beautiful and I love the colour! Alas no knitting till November for me. :-(
huch, das kommt mir bekannt vor!
genau dieses paar, allerdings in rot und in einer kniestrumpfvariante (deine sehen irgendwie kürzer aus...) habe ich in meiner re-strick-neuzeit gestrickt. sehen toll in grün aus!
liebe grüsse, Cecie
That Italian cast on looks interesting. From the pictures you took the stitch definition looks very nice to me :).
I'm in a knitting funk to. Mine is different though. I have a huge desire to knit but not much time to do it.
Only wanting to spin doesn't sound so bad to me :).
Lovely socks!!
