After frantically stitching and crocheting to finish the Christmas gifts I showed you last post, I closed 2025 out with some knitting.
After Christmas, we stayed with a friend for two days, and I had promised to make him a hat. Since I wanted to finish it while there (so I had access to his head for trying on!), I spent those two days busyily knitting away while chatting and playing games, and actually managed to finish in time. He's very happy with his new head, and I am happy getting this project off my to do list! This is the Circle & Square hat from Martina Behm of Strickmich Designs, and I used a Schoppel Zauberball 100% wool in the colourway "Sphinx".
Back at home, I spent a little time fully finishing the Tsunami socks (from Knitted Socks East and West by Judy summer) that I had started earlier this year to bring to a conference. I really loved this pattern, it's so simple, but simply stunning!
This yarn, called 'Sonntags am Bodensee' (Sunday at the Lake Constance), was absolutely perfect for the pattern. Sadly, it's a one-off by GemachtmitLiebe, who is no longer with us, so there is no way to get more of it now. For this reason I had been hesistant to use it, but very happy with the result now that I did!
