When not knitting

Mail, a sock and a frog
I got my Sundara Petals Collection sock yarn (finally) featuring the Calla Lily. I love the packet, so cute. It contains a pattern, the sock yarn, a note of thanks, lollipop and a postcard of the calla lily. I like the pattern but I think it will work better with solid yarn. I’m thinking something fun for this yarn maybe tabi socks (scroll to bottom).
But I wont be casting on any time soon, I first got to finish the embossed leaves socks, pretty aren't they?
I loooooovvvveeeee the Koigu color not quite variegated not solid, not pink not purple, just perfect.
I decided to have a hand at crochet, I taught myself and did a little swatch, then started on this cute little thing for Raz:
The pattern is from a japanese book, that's like ALL in japanese (let me express that my japanese is nowhere near the level of reading), and it did it, an it even looks good. I'm feeling elated with the success of figuring out a chart in japanese and this first attempt at crocheting.
In case you are curious the yarn is the left over of the Gems Opal for the Simply Lovely Lace socks and some random red yarn.

No sabía que te habías suscrito a la petals collection, de verdad es tal genial el estambre? Los embossed leaves están preciosos, y la rana genial! ¿No te quedan como 50 mil hebritas para esconder al final?

Todavia no he probado el estambre de petals, pero se ve mas o menos como el Koigu, tengo muchas cosas que terminar primero. Y contestandole a Myrth me inscribi por 6 meses, no me dio para mas jeje.
De las hebritas de la rana ni en cuenta, las use para coser las diferentes partes del cuerpo, como es mi primer crochet no sabia como esconderlas jeje.
