Started knitting my first Cookie A. sock today. It's not actually from the book, but another, free pattern from knitty.com. The sock is called Pomatomus after a fish or something because it's kinda scaly. But I'm knitting it from the multicolour yarn you can see in the last post, so it's probably not going to resemble a fish.
I am getting a little nervous because of my trip to China, which is actually tomorrow, as I am writing this after midnight. I hope my blog is going to work there, you can never be sure with those Chinese blocking everything. And I had to download Firefox as Chrome is probably not going to work there, either. And I won't use the Exploder!
I am taking with me enough yarn for two pairs of socks and a turban. I hope that's enough. And ah well, what could be "worse" than having to shop for more yarn... The turban I plan on making is a vintage model from the 30's. I have already knit one but it didn't turn out fantasticly so I am making a new one. In the last one, I used two strands of yarn and the result was much too bulky to be worn on my head so this time I'm knitting with only one strand. Also, I changed the colour. Last time, I used darkish but still quite bright red which might have been a little too much. So this time I am also using red but a much less bright one, it is kind of greyish red, actually quite pretty and I think it will make an excellent vintage turban.
