Perfect socks

This is pair nine for the 52PP, and they are beautiful. They are EXACTLY the same size and my first pair knit with more than 48 sts (64 actually) and knit on five needles. I used 2.25 mm bamboo needles from Clover and Regia Crazy colors yarn. I love the colorway and can't wait for winter so I can wear them more often.




This is Sylvanus from anticraft.com. Sylvanus was the Roman god of the forest, and from where we get the word 'sylvan' meaning 'woods' or 'forest.' I started to make this bag, but I stopped because it was creeping me out. The eyes were so piercing. It was to be felted, but instead I knit a triangular felted bag from the yarn.


And here's the bag with some lovely fresh herbs in it.


I had to include the picture of Sylvanus though because I did such a great job on it even though I ripped it out. I like my triangular herb-gathering bag better.
