still knitting

I finished the jumper as you could see from my previous post. I just added button, which I absolutely adore, such a great find. It's a wooden stick made from metal!



Also I now have these. They are Regia sock yarn, Kaffe Fasset collection in Celebration, Landscape line. And they match! I'm verry happy with them. I had lots of leftover yarn too, like half a ball.
I used 'afterthought heel' technique, I basically made a sock without a heel and I added the heel after the sock was finished. I really like this technique, it's fool-proof no holes heel and it also looks pretty. It also makes self striping yarns look like a V on the heel as you can see in the last picture, lovely little detail.

These are my most colourful project so far.
