What do I really wear – November 2015

 

Ce que je porte réellement parmi mes tricots

Ces chaussons, tous les soirs.

Those slippers, every night.

Ce gilet (épais, chaud, doux…).

This warm and soft cardi.

Ce gilet (juste chaud).

This warm cardi.

Ce gilet, élégant et discret.

This subtle and elegant cardi.

Ce gilet (juste chaud, lui aussi, et un peu piquant. Mais qu’est-ce que je l’aime).

This warm and itchy cardi.

Ces mitaines, tous les matins dans la voiture froide.

Those mitts, every morning in the cold car.

Cette chaussette de mug. Ok, ce n’est pas vraiment moi qui la porte, mais bon…

This mug cosy.

Et plein de cols et châles, un différent chaque jour 😉

And a lot of cowls and shawls, a different one every day 😉

Instant gratification knits

As of late, I have a lot of work, and some trouble with knitting sweaters, so I just knit hats. The fact that I don’t wear hats, and that no one among my friends / my family actually wear hats is not a problem. I want instant gratification, and socks and mittens are just boring because I have to knit a pair.

Here are my last creations :

I made a hat for my brother’birthday I can’t show here

Quincy, from an existing pattern I never read.

A pair of socks for me, because I really needed some warm socks to just stay at home.

A headband out of some Kauni yarn leftovers.

And another hat, that I like a lot but that is a little too tight around the head because of the colorwork part.

Red socks – part 2

I just knew that I wanted toe-up socks.

After a long and difficult mornong to find out how to knit those damn socks, I finally chose to make a short row toe. (The fig.8 cast-on was just not working, but I want to try it again.)

Here they are for now:
