The new year has started with knitting projects so I thought I'll show you some progress on that front first. Remember the Blue and White Baby Socks project? Our area is doing very well, about 47% of the socks needed have been delivered to the local hospital's maternity ward. This lot is among the socks they already received.
These I took to the Lentävä Lapanen, Flying Mitten, on Wednesday, and they had two baskets full again waiting to be collected.
For Christmas I experimented with coloured yarns and my sock variation of the Aino'S mittens. These were all gifts to friends near and far.
This funny pattern was in a magazine, and I just had to buy some of that rainbow yarn to make them exactly like in the magazine, for someone who loves rainbow colours.
The rest of the burgundy yarn was enough for a pair of socks for our grandson, and he will get a pair of mittens too.
Sock front finally dealt with, I can show the little progress I have made with the Splendid Sampler quilt blocks. I have 79 normal blocks now and 8 bonus ones finished.
We had a late breakfast today, and before that I caught the beautiful pink and blue shades in the sky opposite the almost rising sun.
