The adventure continues with the Birch Leaf socks, a pattern that I’ve found in a book called “A gathering of Lace”. I have adapted a bit the back of the sock. This time I got the color right.
Frre patern by Kelly Porpiglia HERE.
It looks much better as she created them - green and using a thiner yarn, but I don’t have much choise in Romania.
I cannot remember where I’ve downloaded this pattern from, but it’s called “Evangeline” and it’s made by Michelle Szeghalmi (The Sweet Sheep).
And a more stylized view:
I’ve made a new pair of mittens, just to consolidate the technique. Pattern is free for download from elann.com, but full of mistakes. If anyone wants it, just drop me a line.

I’m back to knitting after more than 20 years of break - last time I knitted was for my “home economics” classes (do they teach this in school…anywhere?). I had a look at several books about knitting (”…for Dummies”, “the complete idiot’s…”, “teach yourself…”) and decided to start with a model of average difficulty - a garter stich (favourite!) and simple cables scarf (this way I reminded myself the most important stiches). My aim is to able to knit great socks and gloves one day, soon…
I tried this model as a test and since it went well I decided to make it into a pillow case.
