I took this photo this morning after being wide awake for the whole night again. I really don't appreciate how the dark time of the year affects me, especially I sort of like the darkness itself, just not the side effects.

I've also been feeling miserable about ever trying to take a picture of anything properly. But this morning there was a little bit of sunshine between the clouds and while I tried to shoot these socks, I got a nice detail out of the camera:)

The socks are for my sister who for some twisted reason asked for black socks - not exactly the most exciting colour to knit. But I added some merino-cashmere-nylon handpainted yarn and bäuerliches cables to them and suddenly it all made sense. The yarn is Have you any wool Luxe sock and I can heartily recommend it, it's soft and comes in several pretty colourways, I wish I could have them all:)
