Spring turned to summer surreptitiously, but it's cold around here, wet and windy. My oldest ones school year ended today, but I felt a bit sorry for those having bigger graduation parties in this wetty weather. My own summer vacation will start in three weeks, but children are having summer holiday right now. But I have a big day today too! My new Machless wheel is due to come with help of my brother from Helsinki! Yee-haaW! So I'll blog about it later and now you'll see couple of FO's. I've been quite brisk and lace stockings and the French finery are all done. A flood of pics to come...
Lace Stockings, pattern Mari Muinonen (in Ravelry tikru),from Vogue Knitting spring/summer 2009, also available from Vogue Knitting website. I made these according to the pattern but because I have quite long legs I made these one flower longer. Yarn is BC Garn Silkbloom Fino (colour 01) and I used it 126 grams (4.44 oz). In the cuff there is 2 strings of Framilon -rubber band in each stocking.
Ranskalainen hepenekin valmistui, loppujen lopuksi aika sukkelasti kuitenkin. Malli on Kristeen Griffin-Grimesin kirjasta French Girl Knits malli Veronique. Tähän käytin Austermann Kid Silk-lankaa 92 grammaa, joten on tosi kevyt, mutta lämmin. Pahoittelen kuvien laatua, ne on surkeita kun itseään on tosi vaikea kuvata ja mieheni ei oikein ole kuvaajatyyppiä... Nii, älkääkä välittäkö mun muuten rähjäisestä lookistani, perjantaina töiden jälkeen ei oo ihminen hehkeimmillään.
My French Finery is finished too. Pattern is from Kristeen Griffin-Grimes' book French Girl Knits pattern Veronique. I used Austermann Kid Silk yarn 92 grams (3.25 oz). This is very light weight bolero, but warm. Sorry about the pics, they suck, it's so difficult to takes photos of self and my DH is not photographing type of man... And do not mind my messy look. After work week on Friday one can't be at her best ;)
