Football scarf

I knitted a scarf for my partner for Christmas - bit more work than I expected, especially V and R caused some gray hairs...

The white yarn I have spun myself from wool from Shetland, the red I had to buy from a craft shop in Manchester - partly wool and partly acrylic. This is what I find weird in England, I'm having trouble finding yarn that is 100% wool, most of them seem to have only a small part of wool and otherwise acrylic or something similar... And with all the sheep there are in this country!


The other side of the scraf is mainly striped white and red, with one end having the acronym LFC, the other end the acronym YNWA (You'll Never Walk Alone)

Woolly socks

For years I never knitted socks for myself as I have a constant supply from mom (she knits loads and loads of socks every year!), but in 2008 I wanted to makes ones just for myself...



Even though I knitted the socks myself my mom was central in making them by providing the yarns. The yarns come from a closed knitwear factory in rural Finland, their last stock which was donated to a arts & crafts group my mom is a member of.

The socks are knitted with a tree-dimensional pattern (one of the first times I've knitted that!)
