Hand Knit Socks and Passap Sweater

For a better of view of all pictures, click on the picture to see larger size.Opal 75% wool and 25% silk yarn. Dutch heel used. 2mm for the ribbing and 2.25mm for the body. I really like the feel of this yarn. Wearing them now.


The yarn is 96% wool and 4% lycra. 2/24 used double. Made for a very heavy sweater! Almost 1kg(2.2lbs). I used N/N for hems. The main body uses tech 180 but with lock at set to FX and pushers in 1up 1 down formation.

This is the beckband on the FX sweater. I prefer the neckband on the sweater below. The sweater below was done using just one strand of same yarn and using a tuck stich pattern in the console.

I will finish my dearest's shirt before our 16th wedding anniversary on Thursday and get back to knitting, I will! It's turned cold here, the leaves are all golden, red and brown and your socks are giving me sock envy.

I've recently bought some of the Opal yarn that has bamboo fibre mixed into it. It feels lovely so I can't wait to knit some socks with it. I just hope they look as good as yours!
