Two pair of anklets came out of one skein of Ewa's Sockenwolle.

Zwei Paar Soeckchen hab ich aus dem Knaeuel gestrickt.

Deux pairs de chaussettes courtes faites de 100 g de Ewa's Sockenwolle.

Happy Socks/Anklets
Yarn: Ewa's Sockenwolle mit Baumwolle
Color: Wasserfall (blue, white, turquoise, yellow, purple)
Needles: 2.5 mm DPNs
Pattern: Happy Socks by Cheryl Kemp from MagKnits, March 2006
Cast-on to Finish: 16jun07-27 jul07
Modifications: well, obviously: yarn subbed, shortened to one pattern repeat, pattern only on the leg, converted to top-down, oh and on the second pair I tweaked the pattern to go with my usual stitch count of 15 per needle -- to only have four pattern repeats around the leg
Knitting fun: I really, really hated the yarn: it is not plied, has five separate strands and split all the time -- other than that, it was fun.
Techniques learnt: --

nee, kein Muster, ich hab bloss beim ganzen Fuss immer die erste Masche der Nadel links gestrickt, als "Dehnungsfuge"

Your anklets are lovely! Too bad the yarn was so splitty -- it's such a pretty color.

I love the anklets! Everything you make is beautiful...I keep having to start the same pair of socks over and over and over again :-)

thank you, you two. Yeah, the yarn: I thought the color was lovely, too, and what with it being all famed... argh. Big deception.
