I got the blue Drops Delight yarn in the first package from my secret friend in the Finnish fall 2010 SNY, and queued this pattern a month or two later. Got the white Fabel yarn almost a year ago, and finally started knitting a couple of months ago. And since I have virtually no time at all to knit at the moment, it took me a while.
In whole, I'm quite satisfied with the pattern, but were I to make another pair, I'd make a different toe - this one is too pointy for me - I have broad toes, like a duck ;-).
I have one skein left of both colors and am determined to make myself a pair of mittens with the same technique. Maybe already for next winter - wishful thinking?
How pretty! I used to make colorwork socks and sweaters as a teenager, but I seem to have lost patience since then and prefer knitting with one color only. As you said, it's so difficult to get the tension right.
SvaraRaderaI could never knit anything that beautiful. I'd make a mess of those yarns. One ball is enough for me.
