Raitaa raitaa rallallaa / Stripe strike!

Mustaraidallisen sukan tein silloin Helsinkimatkalla junassa. Piti tulla Jocsulle sukat, mutta tuli pieni laskuvirhe. Melinda saa sitten kahdet. Tai sitten mä kauppaan ne ensimmäiselle halukkaalle, ei oikein iske tuo väri Melindan vaateväreihin. Juuh, tiedän että olen ihan höperö, mutta silti... Ei kyllä tuo toinenkaan raitaväri ole ihan meidän sävy. Itse asiassa siinä ei ole ainuttakaan väriä mistä pidän, mutta jotenkin olen silti tooosi rakastunut siihen väriin. Ja niitä raitoja vaan tulee sieltä, tuosta vaan! Ihanaa!

Pinkuralle sukalle on jo parikin melkein valmis, ooh! Villapaitafarssin jälkeen olin jotenkin niin sekaisin, etten osannut mitään tehdä. Sitten neuloin vaan rivin tätä ja toisen tuota, ja nyt on taas monta työtä vaiheessa. Mutta ei se mitään, Lankahamsterikuukausi alkaa kohta! Täytynee kuitenkin käydä Novitan alessa ennen sitä :D

Blackstriped sock I made in train while visiting Helsinki a week ago. I´m so sorry that I did not write the story in english. Didn´t have the time, and then the damn sweater was spoiled so I was very confused and acted strangely. In short, bought a lot of yarn, as you can see from the pics down there somewhere... The red sweater had some kind of mistake in the pattern, since the sleeves don´t fit at all, many other Finns knitting that have experienced same kind of problems. Anyway, back to the socks. I planned to make the black socks for Joachim, but made a tiny miscalculation (again!) so Melinda will get two pairs. Or I might sell these to the first volunteer, since the colour doesn´t really add up with the rest of her wardrope. I know I´m being silly, but still... Though, the yellowish yarn isn´t actually our colour either. There´s not one colour that I´d like, but still the colour is somehow wonn me over! It´s just so...wonderfull! And the stripes just keep coming! Loove it!

Yellowish sock has an almoust ready pair already! After the dissappointment with the sweater I was so lost. Didn´t know what to knit, so I knit a bit everything. Knit there, purl there, make a row of that... So now I have, once again, many things in progress. But who cares! I joined a group called yarnhamsters, we agree to spend one month without buying any more yarn. Idea is to use a lot of your stash, and the one who knits most, gets an award. Nice! Maybe have to stop by Novita´s winter sale before that :D
