Warm Feet

February 2, 2016 Elena KnitsFinished object, Knitting, Socks

There’s nothing I appreciate more in winter than having warm and dry feet. It’s the time of the year that I go back to thinking about hand knitted socks and regret having just a few pairs. After knitting a pair of Van Dyke socks for my mother, I new I …

Completed: Margot Pajama Bottoms

January 27, 2015 Elena KnitsFinished object, Gerry, rock'n'roll, rockabilly, Sewing, Socks

I bought this cotton flannel sheet in Retales Lidia by the kilo. I don’t remember the price, but it was ridiculously cheap and I still have tons left. First I wanted to make the Tofino pants, but I was not 100% convinced about the leg width and I wanted a …

Summer knitting

July 26, 2012 Elena KnitsFamily, Finished object, Holidays, Knitting, Socks, Summer

It is my first real Summer in 5 years. I started knitting last August and crochetting in September of 2009. I’d heard before that during the Summer one doesn’t feel like knitting. At that moment I did not completely understand that statement because it never happened to me… until I …

Socks: Challenge Accepted!

May 23, 2012 Elena KnitsFinished object, Knitting, Socks

Since I started knitting I used to admire with envy the beautiful socks other Raverlers posted on their profiles: plain, laced, multicolored, unicolored, …. I confess that I absolutely LOVE Dona‘s socks, and my wish is, one day, to knit beautiful socks like her. I was really looking forward to …
