In the meantime, I finished the Pink Ribbon Socks for Gerda, one of my (former) team members. Socks to spend an evening on the couch with, with a book and a glass of wine.

This little Gansey sock is the first.

On needles US 1 \/2.25 mm they <strike>will be far too small for me<\/strike>\u00a0are an amazingly\u00a0perfect fit, <strike>but<\/strike> and it is a beautiful pattern that needs some concentration.

Simply Cables. And that&#8217;s it. You can knit it waiting for the telephone man, the curtain man, the was machine man.

Yarn is Trekking Ombre in colour number 100. It&#8217;s a bit autumny, but that is because I have these cold feet all the time nowadays and these colours are warm.<\/span><span class=\"ygrp-grdescr\"> <\/span><span class=\"ygrp-grdescr\">The title is an intended pun to the new program of the Dutch National Ballet: <a title=\"Dutch National Ballet\" href=\"http:\/\/www.het-nationale-ballet.nl\/index.php?m=season&#038;s=220\" target=\"_blank\">On the Move<\/a>. \u00a0<strike>I am going to enjoy it this Tuesday!<\/strike> Life has some tricks and I have an\u00a0awfully cold, with fever and coughing, etc. So that was no ballet and yes bed.<\/span><span class=\"ygrp-grdescr\">Well, if you don&#8217;t mind.
