Progress
I got some knitting done on the Estonian socks. I decided to decrease to 72 sts (in stead of 80). To keep the clock patterns centered on the sides of the leg, I had to place the extra decreases on both sides of the clocks, not just on the back of the leg.
I think the sock looks a bit odd because the circumference of the cuff is very large, but then, it will go up mid-calf and that's where my leg is, well, wide. I tried it on and it fits so far, so I'll just keep going! (click for a larger picture)
The new couch
It arrived wednesday! It's much smaller than the couch we had, so our room looks bigger. I'm happy with it!
Now we just have to find some nice pillows to put on it, and some spray to keep the cats from using it as a scratch pole. They were allowed to do this with the other couch, but with this one, I will at least *try* to keep them off it.....
Here are two views of our living room as it looks now:
The weather is beautiful, finally! Well, it will be for three days, with temperatures of around 25C. Of course, on monday, they will drop to 16C, so I will get the most out of it while I can!
