For the winter.

Edellinen musta paksumpi piponi on jo parhaat päivänsä nähnyt. Jouduin pesemään sitä useasti, jonka seurauksena pipo kutistui liikaa. Malli oli kiva, mutta halusin kokeilla alla olevaa, jota varten ostin langat jo viime talvena.

My previous black hat is not wearable anymore. I had to wash it quite many times so it shrinked. The pattern was nice but I wanted to try the one below because I had already bought the yarns for it last winter.


Lanka: Drops Eskimo, musta (002)
Puikot: 6 mm
Koko: M
2 kerää

Yarn: Drops Eskimo, black (002)
Needles: 6 mm DPN
Size: M
2 skeins

Helppo neuloa ja miellyttävä käyttää. Voin suositella!

Easy to knit and nice to wear. I recommend!

Depleting my yarn stock.

I like knitting caps for my husband. He always likes everything that I do and never complains about tickling yarns etc.


Pattern: Square, my own
Yarn: Drops Eskimo, green (006)
Needles: 6 mm DPN


This took about 1,5 skeins of Eskimo. WHAT am I going to do with 25 meters of it??

Cables.

I prefer wool, cables and red. When I saw Johanna's cabled collar I absolutely wanted one for me.


Pattern: Palmikkokauluri by Kalastajan vaimo
Yarn: Drops Eskimo, red (008)
Needles: 9 mm CN


This was my first time knitting Eskimo. I fell in love with it right away. Although knitting cables with 9 mm needles was quite challenging every now and then. The collar took totally six skeins of yarn (à 50 g).

I've got only one problem: I don't have a jacket that fits with this! Shopping? I'm also thinking about knitting a cap, too. This one?

Can I sleep with this??
