Sunshine socks / Sunshine-sukat

Vaikka en olekaan päivittänyt blogia, olen kutonut päivittäin. Suurin osa on valmiista töista kuitenkin menossa lahjaksi, joten en viitsi laittaa kuvia blogiin ennen kuin lahja on annettu vastaanottajalle.

Nämä upeat Sunshine-sukat on suunnitellut Cookie A. Ohjeet loytyvät hänen kirjastaan 'Suloisimmat Sukat'. Malli on yksinkertainen ja nopea kutoa.

Lankana käytin Novitan Nalle aloeveran keltaista. Kolmosen puikoilla lankaa meni 39-koon sukkaan tasan yksi kera siten, että tein vartta kymmenen kierrosta ohjeessa sanottua vähemmän. Lankaa jäi 5 senttimetriä.



Even though I have not updated the blog, I have been knitting daily. Most of the ready products are going to be presents, so I do not want to post pictures on the blog before giving the present.

These fantastic Sunshine socks were designed by Cookie A. The instructions can be found in her book Sock Innovation. I made the cuff ten rounds shorter than instructed. That way one skein of yarn was just enough: I had 5cm yarn left.

Size: 39
Yarn: Novita Nalle aloevera 150g

Angee socks

Santa brought me some knitting books, thin double-pointed bamboo needles and yarn. Among the books was Cookie A's Sock Innovation (Suloisimmat Sukat in Finnish). It is an amazing book, which explains not only how to knit some of her designs but also how to design socks yourself.



Of course I had to test a pair from her designs. Here are Angee socks:
