when NOT in Rome . . . dream of Finland?

I missed SW in Santa Clara this weekend, but on my way over to JenLa to check out what I missed, I found this: ULLA, a knitting netmag (like Knitty) from Finland. The pattern index is here. My new goal in life? To become a knitting polyglot so I can knit every pattern I see. Is that too greedy of me?

Here is the one I'm going to try.

How cute are these? I know, they're just socks. But still. Is it wrong to be obsessed?

At least it's not a poncho.

And here is the cartoon from this issue of ULLA, reproduced here in honor of husbands like La's and mine who . . . well, they don't get the knitting thing. No translation needed.

Thanks for the laugh, Chandra. I really needed that. How true was that cartoon clip? So close it's scary

Oh, I love those socks!!! I'm terrified by heels, toes, small gauges and dpns (new-ish knitter) but maybe this year ... and THAT pattern!
