FO: Poseidon Socks

My second pair of sock. It is one of the KAL with Regg & Yun.

I had a hard time with this one. Frogged for more than 4 times for this pair of socks. Luckily I manage to complete it. *grin*



Pattern: http://exercisebeforeknitting.com/poseidon-socks/
Yarn used:Brown Sheep Wildfoote Luxury Sock

No. of skeins: 1.3
Needles size: 2.25mm

Generally this is an easy pattern except for the heel turn portion. I uses the wendy knit's instruction instead of following the one on the pattern. Beside that, I makes mistakes with the first few rows I miss out the increase. Hence my socks look squarish for the initial portion. But I decide to ignore those since it is not very obvious when i wear them.

FO: Cropped Raglan Sweater

Finally done with another project.This is one of the projects that make it to my love list. ;)




Yarn Used: Cotton Novia ( The yarn stretches quite a fair bit after wash)
No. of balls: 6 balls
Pattern: http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/70111.html

Encounter some problems with the arm holes portion during knitting. It seems to be have one big hole on each side. After some attempt, manage to patch the hole. Here is it after patching. :)
