The joys of the bean

Now, I am a great fan of coffee. Love the stuff, can't live without it. I thought I was going mad when I couldn't stand it during my first pregnancy, but luckily when I was expecting Sam, I made up for it by drinking more than ever. The bean is holy here, even though we do try and keep it as low-caf as possible.
When I leafed through the book Sokken brei je zo and saw the pattern for the 'Koffieboon' (Coffee bean), I just had to start it. And it's addictive. Very! And very suitable for knitting during (booooooooring) football games. Sorry, but Greece-Sweden is not doing it for me (hence the blogging during the game). Here my version of the bean:

Pattern: Koffieboontjes, Sokken brei je zo
Yarn: Fortissima Socka Mexiko Color, colourway 9064

My other Fortissima socks are also done. My Pomatomi! Tadaaaaaa!!! And yes, they're watching footie... I did the toe of the second sock differently from the first (first, several months ago, followed the pattern; second, just did my usual toe, with some alterations), but there's no difference in wearing them, so I'm going to leave it like this.
Pattern: Pomatomus, Cookie A.
Yarn: Fortissima Socka, blue/grey

Goal for Sweden! You go guys!!! I've always preferred Abba over Nana Mouskouri... ;)

And again!!!



But Gianni van Bronckhorst is still my top dog!!!
