Toe up knee high socks

So I finished another project, my first toe up socks!

For the toe and heel I used this pattern http://knittingonthenet.com/patterns/sockstoeup.htm and it worked really well. The yarn is Novita Polku in the shade Porkkana, and I just love it! The great thing about this yarn is, that it's really thin, and makes woollen (73% wool) socks that are thin enough to wear with your normal sized shoes, but of course much warmer than your average sock. And the colors are delicious!

I also made a simple spiralling pattern to make it more interesting :)

 Now I'm starting on the next knitwork, simple toe up socks from Novita Polku. I think this shade is called Mustajuuri. I've already lost the tags of the skein, so can't say for sure.

Wild Rose -Mittens

 Some time ago my mom bought me this diy-mittens kit from a craft fair, and I finally finished them!

 The box contained the yarn needed along with pattern notes and instructions.
And here are the finished mittens!

I haven't tried this sort of multicolored knitting in years and never with a complex pattern like this, but it was fun and I think the result looks very nice.

Hello people on the Internet!

My name is Annika, and I'm hooked on knitting, baking, cooking and all sorts of stuff. For a long time I've been thinking that I need someone to share the results of these addictions with, and now I've decided to share them with you guys.

I have to say, I'm notorious for starting a project and never finishing, but I hope blogging will help me with that (or not... we'll see!).  I will be writing mainly about past, present and future knitting projects, along with some sewing and craft things, kitchen mishaps and the occasional style or hair update. I think I will mainly be writing in English to revive my rusty language skills, but there might be an occasional post in Finnish if I'm feeling lazy and/or tired. 

Hope you will enjoy my ramblings!

PS. My cactus blossomed!
