Of course, even though I had promised myself not to do any knitting, I couldn't stick to that. Made four swatches, threee for socks, the other one for the zombie pulse warmers. No pictures because they are boring and it's almost dark outside, but I think I have fallen in love with a yarn. The Peruvian Collection Baby Silk. So soft... I just keep petting it instead of knitting.
And I ordered some yarn from Wolle Halle, which is a German company that sells yarn on cones, usually untwisted. I bought some of my sock yarn there already and even though it can be a bit challenging to knit, their prices are simply unbelievable. And so far I haven't been disappointed in their quality. So I ordered some 70%merino/30%cashmere in a beige/grey tone for a present for my mum.
The left one is the one I bought.
I really hope that it will soften up when washed as it looks quite scratchy to me now. But for 1.50€ per 50gr I can't really go wrong even if it turns out to be not so soft. Still, then I'll have to continue searching for a yarn for my mum's birthday present as I'm hoping to make Convertible for her. My dad and she always go camping and near the sea it's usually chilly in the evening even in summer, so I know she'll like something like this.
So, more free time from now on and that means I'll finally make more progress with my various ideas (mainly socks *g*). I've collected quite a few patterns over the last few weeks and will put them up on the future projects list as soon as I finally get some more online time.
