Viisukat

In the beginning of February I stumbled on a short notice on Ilo Yarn stores Instagram account... Didn't think so much more of it except that the wish of merino wool was quite funny to me :D

But. My head works overtime even if I'd try to let things be... and suddenly my brain was full of ideas! Yes, I had a lot of ideas for the Eurovision socks! One idea got even to this stage:


Only to prove that my idea looked better in my head than as a knitted sock. Too much of everything: the old Eurovision logo, the new Eurovision logo, the Finnish flag (on the other side of the leg), rainbow flag, intarsia, stranded knitting, stripes and so on. I had to edit big time.

Obviously I had to keep the Finnish flag ;D And I really liked the rainbow colours, so that would also stay.

I knitted another pair with rainbow colour blocks and with the Finnish flag in a heart... and ripped it all! Because during the second sock my head was thinking of the rainbow stripes on my first proto knit and suddenly it hit me that would be the look I wanted.


Oops! There was a deadline! No big deal if it wouldn't have been the busiest time at work! Luckily I work pretty good under pressure and I met the deadline not only by knitting two pairs of men's size socks but also by writing down the pattern. Whooh!

So there's also the reason why the pattern has only a quick shot of the socks.

Pattern for Viisukat is available in my Ravelry store! For free ;)
