Order done!

Well, the yarn order came in on the 23rd of May, and I've been knitting up a storm. All socks for the order are done, and look great if I do say so myself...

RoseHiver's Hold Your Seahorses and Water for the Elephants:

Sandra Jäger's reindeer socks:

And Maria Simonsen's Elgsokker (modified for fingering weight yarn, with only one moose and a striped foot):

See how those last ones are a nice crisp grey with blue? Yeah... Well, something happened when I soaked them (which I always do so I can block them into shape and make the stitches behave themselves), and now the grey is a mottled pale blue. I am NOT impressed.

Up to this point I have been very pleased with DROPS Fabel, and I still am, as this accident was entirely my fault. I've soaked hundreds of socks, and this is the first time I've had a problem with the colour running... But it's also the first time I forgot a pair of socks in the water for two days. I hope their new owner won't be too disappointed!

But all in all, it's been a great time. The patterns were fantastic, and I'm definitely madly in love with the red/turquoise colour combo.
