WarmFeet

In August I knit SnagGrey woollen socks. After that I knit this pair using only Nykälän Lanka's Amanda (75% wool, 25% polyamide) (100g = 200m). From the pics posted you can see how the look varies if you add another yarn. Amanda yarn nearly vanishes when using together with AAW.

WarmYouUp

It is autumn; time to warm up your love ones. I am creating a warm gift pack for Him. I already knit SnuggleUp SnagGrey socks. I designed and knit this pair with the same idea. With AAW snag grey yarn (40% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% FinnSheep wool, 10% arctic dog wool and 10% nylon) I used Novita's 7 veljestä Pohjola (45% wool, 30 % Finnish wool, 25% polyamide). This pair is one size smaller than the previous one so He can wear one over the other. (Yes, sometimes that's the only reasonable way and needed up here in the north; especially if you hunt and outdoor a lot.)

SnuggleUp SnagGrey

WoollenSockSeason is back here. For this pair I designed and used our own AAW snag grey yarn (40% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% FinnSheep wool, 10% arctic dog wool and 10% nylon) and Nykälän Lanka's Amanda (75% wool, 25% polyamide) (100g = 200m).

I usually knit just the basic style woollen socks because they are for the real life use; not just hanging around in the house by the fire place and making pretty pics. This pair is for a hunter to be used in the wild & real life. When He messes them up in swamp mud in duck hunting none's heart will be broken and the feet will satay warm despite they are wet.
