WIP Wednesday - Week 8

Finished Objects
I have two finished objects to show off this week :-D

Since I have already shown Marie a photo of her socks, and they went out in the mail today, I can now show them off here as well!
Very busy yarn, so I wanted a "calming" pattern for them. I couldn't find one that was just right, so I made up my own! I think it turned out quite nice, if I do get to say so myself!

I also finished my test knit. It was a really fun knit and basically flew off the needles. I'm not too sure about the colour combination though... the colours look great together, but are a bit too "cutsey" for me... so this may end up being a gift to a niece instead ;-)

´On the Needles
I haven't even TOUCHED Fading Point since my last post, instead having focused on the two projects above, as well as a pair of mittens for Miriam. They're coming back to Denmark for a visit next week, and while we're having an unseasonably warm winter, that could change at any moment, so I wanted to have them ready. I've finished the first and am just about done with the cuff on the second.

Besides, this weekend I picked My Favourite Things Cowl back up. I haven't touched it in ages, but suddenly got the urge to do a bit more fair isle. You guys, it is SO potato-chippy!!! I've added another 6 or 7 sections since then and am actually almost done!! I want it to be large enough to wrap around my head twice, and it's almost there! Which is almost a shame - of course I want to finish it, so I can wear it and show it off, but it's such a fun knit that I just want to keep going! Also I have SO many more things I want to add to it! May have to knit a second one after all...


(I've done one more section since this shot, but forgot to take a new photo this morning).
