Garn Boet - The Yarn Nest

Hettan som vilar över Finland till trots har jag klarat av att göra en slutspurt på sockfronten! Tre par färdiga, av vilka visserligen Johns sockor redan presenterats här, men utan projekt detaljer.

In spite of the heat weave that is steadily positioned over Finland right now have I finished two more pairs of socks. John’s socks have been presented, but without project details and modelled pictures.

De första sockorna jag väljer att presentera är Tiits sockor. Jag stickade Tiits sockor till mig själv, och detta innebär att jag har stickat mig igenom min Family sock challenge. Alla medlemmar i min familj har under vårens lopp fått ett par sockor planerade speciellt för dem.

Projekt detaljer: Tiit’s socks ur Nancy Bushs bok Folk knitting in Estonia.
Garn: Regia silk, 55 % ull, 20 % silke och 25 % polyamid, sammanlagt under 100 gram.
Stickor och masktäthet: 2mm, 40 maskor och 41 varv gav 10x10 cm.


The first socks I present are Tiit’s socks. I decided to knit them for myself, and this marks also the end of my Family Sock Challenge. I have during the spring knitted a pair of socks for every family member. Thank you Theresa for the great idea!
Project details: Tiit’s socks from Nancy Bush’s book Folk knitting in Estonia.
Yarn: Regia Silk, 55 % wool, 20 % silk and 25 % polyamid in natural white and brown, all in all under 100 g.
Needles and gauge: 2mm, 40 stitches and 41 rows make 10x10 cm.

The second pair is my younger son’s socks. They have been presenter here before, but here are the details. They are the second last pair in the Family Sock Challenge.
Project details: John’s socks, own pattern.
Yarn: Fortissima Socka, 75 % wool, 25 % polyamide, about 60 grams in red.
Needles and gauge: 2,5 mm, 29 stitches and 40 rows gave 10x10 cm.

Det sista paret är Hiiumaa sockorna. Sockorna kom till som en test av Vuorelmas garn Veto, och utföll till full belåtenhet.
Projekt detaljer: Hiiumaa socks ur Nancy Bushs bok Knitting on the Road.
Garn: Vuorelmas Veto, 85 % ull, 15 % polyamid, 100 gram av färg 639, 50 gram av färg 608.
Stickor och stickfasthet: 2,5mm, 28 maskor och 28 varv 10x10 cm.

The last pair is the Hiiumaa socks. These socks were born from the desire to test Vuorelma’s sock yarn Veto.
Project details: Hiiumaa socks from Nancy Bush’s book Knitting on the road.
Yarn: Vuorelma’s Veto 85 % wool, 15 % polyamide. 100 g of colour 639 an 50 g of colour 608.
Needles and gauge: 2,5 mm, 28 stitches and 28 rows made 10x10 cm.

Stadi Cup dag två: Flickorna vann sin första match och spelade den andra oavgjort. Det sammanlagda resultatet gav dem en tredje plats i gruppen (av sex lag) och kvartsfinal match på lördag. Sofia (nummer 14 ovan) spelar anfalls spelare. Solen sken, och fastän det blåste lite var vädret skönt.

Stadi Cup day 2: The girls won their first match and played equal the second*, giving them a third place in the group (out of six teams), and first cup match on Saturday. Sofia (number 14 above) is playing offensive player*. The sun was shining, and it was a pretty nice day, even if there was some wind.

Och jag startade en ny socka, den perfekta tag med dig när du tittar på din dotters fotbolls match-stickningen. Garnet är Vuorelmas Veto, 85 % ull och 15 % polyamid. Jag blev intresserad av garnet tack vare korrespondens med Yuki. Det känns skönt att sticka med, men är lite grövre än vad jag är van vid, så det ser ut att bli stövel sockor till far i huset. Mönster randningen är Nancy Bushs, från Knitting on the road.

And I started a new sock, the perfect take with you while looking at your child playing football-knitting.The yarn is Vuorelma's Veto, a yarn I took interest in after a correspondence with Yuki. Veto is a nice yarn to knit with, but a bit thicker than what I am used to, looks like these will be boot socks for the husband. The striping is Nancy Bush's, from Knitting on the road.

*Help! Hand me in a Swedish-English football dictionary. I don't know if equal is the word, could it be undecided, or something like that? My football vocabulary is small in Swedish and Finnish, but almost inexistent in English. I have never played or followed football except the World Championschip games and the European Championships, and they are usually reported in Finnish or Swedish on our TV channels. I have still problems with rules, and I'm usually too nervous to follow Sofia's matches close enough to learn a lot. I definitely belong to the service team, keeping track of balls, shoes, girls and schedules.
