WOYWW - Wednesday 25 September 2024

 Hello lovely peeps,

I'm joining you again with my 'workdesk' this week. I'm on holiday in Lisbon, Portugal, but this is what I'm doing at the mo:

This is the beginning of a woollen sock. I love knitting socks and I do them from the toe upwards in the round. I use the Turkish cast on. 

I used to knit socks the traditional way, with 4 or 5 needles, but that was so fiddly. Then I found this new way on the Internet. The heel is called a 'fish lips kiss heel' and it is so easy I can do the heel while watching tv. I paid only a couple of $ for the pattern years ago and I'm so glad I did it. I have been knitting socks like this for years. (And no, she is not paying me. I'm just very happy I have found a method of knitting socks that suits me.)

The yarn is Pandoro and I can't remember if I bought it in the Netherlands or online. It is fine sock wool 100gr,  75% wool and 25% Polyamide. The colour changes in the yarn create the stripy pattern. 

I have taken my knitting with me on the bus to Lisbon (13 hours on the bus) and this photo has been taken on the bus. You can see I had made a bit more progress:

Enjoy the rest of the week,

Lisca
