TdF Tag 2 und Socken für Rima

Gestern war ich fleißig und habe den verpatzten Start einen Tag vorher gut aufgeholt. Macht sich auch auf der Spule bemerkbar.

Laut Waage sind noch 15,3g übrig, ich habe also schon fast ein Viertel geschafft. Ja, doch, kann man nicht meckern.

The other thing I wanted to show you is what I am doing with the sock yarn hank I dyed last week. So, Rima, this is going to end up on your feet in a few weeks time. I did not get as much knitting time as I would have wanted to because university and the day job are taking their toll, but slow and steady wins the race, or so they say.
You are free to look and say that you do not like it ;)


If you do not want to spoil the surprise, please close the window now and return another day.  

You stayed? Fine. The pattern consists of loads of twisted stitches and mini cables, which add a really nice texture but are - I admit - a bit annoying to knit, at least if you are used to the "normal" stockinette stitch. I made the ribbing a bit longer and knit the first chart twice to obtain a longer leg section. 
They turn out beautiful, don't you think?
