Usually I don’t name my socks. But this is the exception. Sergei Rachmaninoff was a composer of classical music. And the one that wrote the piece I spent some time knitting to indoors on a fine saturday afternoon, KIP’ing away. It’s not a great story, but I liked the name (russian and french names always make tongue tie itself into a know when I try to say them, it’s fun )

The special thing about them is that they are, in fact, my first pair of completly vegan socks! made in panda cotton. A yarn so lovely that I’m considering buying enough for 5 more pairs of socks…

For the rest of the details, check them out at ravelry.

As a ps. I’m not knitting as much as I used to these days, I don’t know why, I just dont. So these socks have been with me for a long time, and I’m still not finished with them.

A week ago I wen to a studio, as a nerveous little wreck, and made an appoitment.
This monday, in the evening, I lay on a bench with a bunch of small needles quickly piercing my skin, putting in colour.

And now… I’m itching a little (but not scratching, that would only make it worse). And while I’m itching I’m thinking about what my next tattoo will be, where it will be. Planning my second before the first has fully healed. A sign of a new obsession?

It’s a sparrow-hawk. I’m not able to get a picture of the entire tattoo at once as it curls around my arm a little. It’s located on my upper left arm, almost at the elbow, and at the back.
I’m looking forward to it being completly healed though as well.

I don’t have a good picture of you Medusa, as you never stood still long enough for me to take one.

You will be missed.
