I knitted socks using the rainbow as my guide

Jan 21st, 2008 by iHanna

I can’t get enough of the rainbow! I love stripes and bright colors that intermingle and glow! Maybe it’s because there is not enough colors outside this time of the year? Everything is gray and muddy, I have to color my own world. I hope you’re doing that too?

After the ripple blanket I went on to my rainbow socks! Do you name your socks? I always do. Search for socks in my blog and you’ll see what the previous pairs have been called!

This is me knitting in a comfortable position:

In my lap is my knitting, my old craft tote with Hello Kitty and the ripple afghan.

The yarn: Opal Feelings sock yarn. Bought at Syfestivalen from Britt.

Pattern: Also from Britt knitting socks in Swedish

Needles: 2,5 mm

Started: June 2007 I think while having fika with my friend Sandra

Finished: Week 2 of January 2008

Feeling: Fun to knit! I like knitting stripes, especially with this self striping yarn where you don’t need to weave in the ends every time you change color. Isn’t that neat?

After finishing the first knitting project of the year I’ve been listening to the new radio show Lifehack Live in my ipod while knitting on a fuzzy project in this yarn! from China. You’ll soon see what it is! The Lifehack Live show is great, with tips on productivity, business and organizing! I really like it and recommend you to listen to one or two shows this week.

I’ve gotten the award You made my day by both Yvonne and Tine (who is going to have a baby)! If you have commented on this blog in 2008 you’re on my list of people who has made my day!

Thank you to all of you for being so nice to me!

Take care!

    Hanna, those socks are beautiful!! Well done on them :o)!! I have a stripey (chocolate brown & baby blue) sock that I started last year…and I haven’t finished them yet. This gives me some inspiration to get back to it and finish them!! Thanks & I hope your week is off to a great start.

    Rainbow socks are great, I could do with a pair, too, the weather is gloomy over here… (wait, I do have a pair of rainbow socks in my drawer, yikes! *^v^*).

    Hanna–
    Your colors blow my mind. I’m a rainbow person, too. I love the colors on your blog–especially your mother’s tablecloth the other day. From what you’re doing these days, I foresee a bright year for you in 2008.

    I love the socks. So full of yummy colours! At one point in my life, I used to be known for always having crazy colourful socks… Hmmm, maybe I should start again!

    […] Most of the time I’m drawn to things with several strong colors. Bright shiny colors that sparkle. What I create seldom concentrate on only one color, but is a mix from the color wheel. I like to combine many different colors together and in my photography I tend to shoot things that make me think of rainbows! But during August I’ve been drawn to more subtle colors of beige, brown and light yellow. […]

    I was surprised to see all these fabulous colours in your knitting work.
    I like to see your rainbow blanket and I like your socks, too.

    That’s great !

    […] You can view images from previous visits to that craft fair and the rainbow socks I knitted with yarn bought back then. Sy means sewing, and there is a lot of fabric at that fair but I like the yarn booths better I guess… so I stock up. Winter is here. […]
