A Socktoberfest pair and a camera case

I'm not hibernating, just working... 

I finished the long wanted pair of purple Embossed Leaves socks to go with my Best Friend Cardigan. They are knit in Arwetta sock yarn. Here they are:
A couple of weekends ago I needed a case for my camera as the old one was lost in Oslo. What does one do? I grabbed the skein of hand-spun I made on the drop spindle at some point this summer when checking out spinning and some orange and pink bits and pieces. When the camera is inside, you wrap the flap around to the front, and the camera is safe and secure:
On the stash side, I enhanced my stash with 8 skeins of Arwetta for Christmas gifts and raffle prizes (more on that later), but I also sold some of my Posh Yarn...

Hvilke størrelse strikkepinde strikkede du sokkerne i?

Og ændrede du opskriften for at de passede længere oppe af benet?

Jeg er vild med dine færdige projekter!

Hej Julia,
Jeg strikker på bambuspinde, som er solgt som 2.5, men egentlig er 2.25 - og det lader til at være en go' tykkelse til mig, så jeg passer godt på dem :)

Nej, jeg har ikke ændret mønsteret opad benet, men det kunne man sikkert sagtens - man kan indsætte flere vrangmasker mellem bladene.
