There's a first time

for everything.
I finished my first pair of handknitted socks ever. YAY I'm so proud. They look great and they feel great.
I did frog a couple of times where I had to rip it up, but now they are finished.
Socks are fun to make and I suspect I will get better with practice. I just wish we could have one day with a slightly coler weather so I can wear them, it's a bit to hot to wear socks these days.

Wanna see them ?

Here they are :
What do you think about them ?

The pattern is one you get when signing up for Knit Sock Workshop here
I used Sisu from Sandnesgarn. It's a 80 % wool and 20 % nylon yarn and I knitted the socks on Double Pointed needles size 3 mm.

My next sock project is going to be a colorwork sock from the same class.

Besides knitting and crocheting I've decided to start organizing everything. Starting by making a daily schedule for myself.
Instead of making it with weekdays ,I've decided to make it with numbers from 1 to 7, that way I won't be annoyed if I have to skip a day and spend the next day thinking about all the things from the previous day I didn't get to do.

Back to organizing :
I have been following a blog called The Complete Guide to Imperfect  Homemaking by Kelly ,she has a lot of great tips.You should go check it out :)
One of her blogposts is a series of more posts called "31 days to an organized home". Reading it made me wanna try it out, but in my own extended version which means, that I'm propably going to take a lot longer than 31 days to organize everything, considering my health issues which you can read about here.
I started on day 1 which I'm halfway done with.
So that's it for me today. Time to do some crocheting in fromt of the tv. They are showing "Twilight" which is one of my favorite movies and I mnever get tired of watching it.

Thank you for stopping by and reading.
