Home alone 2

...but not for long. The Boy will be home in just a few short hours. And it is about time too, because I've really missed him. I don't think I could have a long distance relationship, but I do admire people who can make it work. I don't think it would work for me is because for me it's not the special occations or the celebration of events or the vacations that makes a relationship work. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want be without all that, but I think it is the everyday that makes my relationship, the kiss I get every morning, the request for a bag rub I get every evening and the uneventful being togetherness.
This afternoons being togetherness will certainly be uneventful, the Boy will sleep, he's still on LA time, and I will be quiet and do my homework, maybe just knit a row or two on my new project

Well, Mette, I decided against a trip to Nicoline Garn. Instead I dove in to the stash (good girl!) and found some yarn to start a new quick project with.
But first I finished these:










The Broadripple Socks.
Mismatching, but I love them still. I think if I were to knit them again I'd use a yarn with just a little more elasticity. That way it would be possible to use the needle size that the pattern calls for, and not the 3mm I used for the cuff and the 2,5mm I used to knit the rest of the sock.
Banana seems to like them too.

The new project is some fingerless mitts, pattern nr. 8 from Drops nr. 93. Their patters aren't terribly well written but this one isn't too bad. I'm knitting them with Arwetta sock yarn, from the stash!! I made pretty good procgress on the first mitt yesterday.

This yarn might be a new favorite of mine. And I really have to hurry up and finish the mitts, it's getting cold riding the bike in the mornings.
