What Am I Up To This Fiber Arts Friday?: Dödergök's Mitered Socks

Dödergök's Mitered Socks are my next attempt at a pair of knit socks. Unlike my Lounge Socks which were knit with a worsted 10 ply, this pattern uses 4 ply sock yarn. I'm looking forward to producing a lighter sock.

Have a quick look on Dödergök's blog to see these funky socks. Yes, she is Swedish and has many beautiful creations on her blog. This sock pattern she translated into English.

The cuff is knit in twisted ribbing. According to Dödergök, they have an "unusual toe and heel". The heel seems to be done like an after thought mitten thumb. Does that make sense?

That's all fiberistas! Visit all of the other fiber bloggers taking part in Fiber Arts Friday over at Wisdom Begins in Wonder.

Happy FAF!

One Great Knitter: Day 3 of Knit and Crochet Blog Week

Today our assignment as part of  Knit and Crochet Blog Week is to write about a knitter whose work you enjoy. A knitter I enjoy following is a fresh and funky Swedish blogger called Dödergök.

Her knitting projects are often colorful, unique and photographed beautifully. These baby blue Quill Socks are enviable. Look at the colors in these Fair-Isle mittens. This lilac Ishbel Shawl is lovely.

She even creates her own designs like these pink and feminine Princess Socks.

If you've been looking at Dödergök's awesome finished objects, you may have noticed that the site is in Swedish. I love her blog so much that I have used my browser's translator to read it. I have even commented in Swedish using Google Translator! I hope I'm saying in Swedish what I think I'm saying...

Happy Knit and Crochet Blog Week!
