The weather in Germany already made me start knitting socks. It is rainy and fresh. We had rarely over 30 degrees days (or zero?) even in August.
I wore my knitted socks last week and my daughter brought hers that was knitted with the same yarn.
No wonder, the socks were too small for her after a year. Her foot grew by 2-3 sizes last year.
We pulled out my yarn box and she picked yarn from it. As I had a lot of knitting time while we waited at my daughter's kids doctor and eye doctor last week (everything was fine), I finished one already and started the second one.
I will knit one more for her. Seems she is also a big fan of German warm wool socks 😉🧶I am somehow sad that I almost had no summer this year while I look forward the upcoming knitting season. I appreciate my mama and grandma taught knitting/crocheting to me.
今年のドイツの春夏は例年になくとても雨降りで肌寒いです。8月は30度を超えた日はもしかするとなかったかもというくらいです。
そんな中、先週とても冷える日があって、毛糸の靴下を履きました。夏休み中だった子どもが私が毛糸の靴下を履いているのを見て、同じ毛糸で編んだ靴下を引っ張り出してきましたが・・・・・小さい。。そりゃあそうですよね、一年で平気で2-3サイズ大きくなって、今もう20cmですもん。あと5cmで追いつかれます😅 祖母、母、私と足が大きくて、さらに足の大きな父ちゃんだから足が大きくならないわけがない！
毛糸の靴下を編んでも来年履けないことは目に見えているものの、ほしそうにしているので編むことにしました。きらきらした目でほしいっていわれたらね、そんなことを行ってくれるのもあと数年だろうし、母はがんばります。
毛糸の箱引っ張り出してきて、写真の毛糸を選びました。糸に色がプリントされていて、編むときれいな模様が出る便利な毛糸です。
先週は子どもの小児科、眼科の待ち時間に編んで、子どもが超絶ゆっくり食べるのを待ちながら編んで、片方仕上がりました。もう片方を編み始めて、今週中にはできあがるでしょう。
洗い替えも兼ねてもう一足編もうかな。夏がほぼなかったのは寂しいですが、秋冬の編み物にはうきうきしていて、母や祖母にいい趣味を教えてもらったなと思うのでした。
Ohh socks for winter season!! they are beautiful and colorfull!
Thanks @tibaire. Regularly I don't knit that early. But it's quite fresh here in Germany this year ... my mind made me knit for winter already ;)
I like the new winter socks! I'm looking forward to knitting socks this winter, I have some new yarns to try. You're right, it has been very cool this summer. How has your garden been? I have many tomatoes, but they are slow to ripen. The spinach is doing very well (it is feeding two families, me and my neighbour's). In a day or two, I will harvest some of the potatoes and see how they have turned out. I put some in pots (these are the ones I will harvest) and some in the ground, I will dig these later. The courgettes didn't grow at all!
It's interesting that it's super hot as usual in Japan unlike we experience in Europ. I don't know how come this cool summer happened ... Initially I guessed we human had less activity last year due to Covid but then it doesn't explain anything for Japanese weather.
My garden is slow and has less produce. Tomatoes and zucchinis aren't doing good while egg plants are slowly but steadily growing. I wish I could plant spinach earlier and more after I read your comment. I'm now preparing winter hardy leaves and kales for upcoming seasons. I wish it works well ;)
手編みの靴下は（も！）本当に素敵です。
子供の靴下って本当にどんどん小さくなりますよね。我が家も同じく子供たちはどんどん大きくなるのです。
長女ちゃんには数年前に、11歳の次女ちゃんにももう足のサイズは追い抜かれてしまいましたよ。身長もあと5センチほどです。
私が手の届かないところに手が届いてくれるのは便利ですが複雑な気分です、笑
ドイツに来て履くようにになった毛糸の靴下あったかくて、手放せません 😊なんでこんないいものを底冷えのする京都時代に知らなかったのだろう！と。今年は全然夏がなくてなんだか寒くなりそうな予感がして編み始めてしまいました。
子どもの成長って早いですよね。私もあと10年もしたら背も足も追い抜かれてしまうこと必至です 😅
Oh wow! I wish I can crochet/knit like you, the sock is so beautiful.
Thanks @afterglow! You can start anytime at @needleworkmonday 😉I think there are not a lot but some sock knitters!
You're welcome (^_^)
Wow you sock.
I mean.. the sock looks nice! Nice bright colors, I've seen too many gray socks in my life.
As I have so many gray and black clothes (and my hair is black as well) ... I must add or play with colors with socks 🌈My daughter is full body colorful though 😂 That's kids ...
Congratulations @akipponn ! Your post has been placed in the spotlight for this week's NeedleWorkMonday Community Featured Posts #152!
Thank you for your quality post and for being a part of the needlework community!
You are so fast in sock knitting and your yarn is cute! Really autumnal colors. I also feel like we did not have a proper summer, but as I love autumn I am not too sad :-D (Only the flood was no fun) Good to hear all is well with your daughter <3
