Experiment no 2

I’m not sure whether knitting two socks on two circular needles at the same time really is quicker than knitting each sock separately on a set of double-pointed needles – I spent a lot of time unravelling knots and sorting out which ball of yarn belongs to which sock… . The whole experiment was a bit unsatisfactory.

Having said that – knitting with circular needles instead of a set of needles seemed to be quicker, though, as there is less time spend moving from needle to needle. I have thus started experiment no 2 – knitting 1 sock on two circular needles. So far, it is going very well, and I think I am definitely quicker with the socks. I still need a week to finish a pair, though, and feel a bit envious of those who manage to knit 12 pairs of socks in a month (but maybe they spend some more time with knitting then I do). Two more pairs to go, then this “order” – a set of seven pairs, knitted from Fortissima Socka Mexiko Landhaus Color – I just love those colors – is done … Pictures to follow once all pairs are completed.

Currently, I am reading this book - I am looking forward to knitting a few more socks… which are funkier and fit better.

P.S.: I just found this - and promptly put it on my wishlist ;-)

Schon wieder Dienstag…. Heute fragt das-wollschaf:

Katzen und Wollknäuel stehen sinnbildlich für den Haushalt einer Strickerin. Welches Haustier habt ihr (Männer und Kinder zählen hier nicht :D )?
Herzlichen Dank an raglannudel für die heutige Frage!

Wie es sich fuer eine Strickerin gehoert, gehoeren zu unserem Haushalt Katzen (gleich drei davon), die es sich abends sehr gerne auf dem Schoss der Strickerin niederlassen, und auch schon mal Krallen und Zaehne in Wollknaeuel und zu strickendes hauen. Stricknadeln, Massband und heruntergefallene Wollknaeuel werden auch sehr gerne gejagt.

Hunde gibt es in unserem Haushalt auch, allerdings sind die deutlich weniger am Strickzeug interessiert als die Katzen.
