On my needles

There is some progress and somethings new on my needles and hooks:

Pink Shrug



I'm not sure about this one, so it's on hold for now...

Knitted and crocheted hat



Crocheted tank top



Please visit my Ravelry projects for more details.

Denne helga har jeg (nesten) gjort ferdig shrugen. Den har en merkelig passform (for meg) så jeg er ikke helt sikker på hva jeg skal gjøre med den.

I går startet jeg med en strikke/heklelue, Bentes oppskrift, den blir nok raskt ferdig.

Dagen i dag har vært deilig varm. Jeg har startet på en heklet topp, som sikkert ikke kommer til å passe, kjenner jeg meg rett....

Ha en fin uke!

Pink Shrug progress

Slowly, slowly....



Det går tregt med dette strikkeprosjektet. *1 rad rett, 1 rad vrang* repeter mellom *_* cirka tusenvis av ganger...

Innimellom strikker jeg kluter.

CRL 2 podcast

Yay!

Not much to tell

I have a shrug on my needles:

Nothing else...


But I have some beautiful new flowers in my house:



Tusen takk vennen. *klem*

Lemon Drop scarf

My Lemon Drop scarf is done:



Pattern: Lemon Drop scarf by Vickie Howell
Yarn: Rock (SWTC/Vickie Howell Collection)
Needles: 4 mm and 7 mm

There was an error in the pattern I got. To match the picture you have to repeat rows 13-16 one more time before knitting rows 17-24.

The yarn felt a little heavy for this scarf, and it’s a little itchy on my neck.



The scarf is really easy and fast to knit and it looks beautiful. I’m really happy for receiving this contest price from Vickie. :)


Have a nice long weekend!

Basketcase Socks

My Bascetcase socks are done:



Here you can se more of the pattern:



Free pattern: Basketcase Socks by Criminy Jickets
Mods: 48 sts
Yarn: SandnesGarn Smart, 85g (185 yards)
Needles: 3.5 mm (US 4)


On my needles

Lemon drop scarf almost done:



And then there is nothing (beside washcloths). I wonder what I'm going to make next...

Got balls?

The pattern for May in the "Sokker2008"-KAL is the Basketcase Socks.

First I had to wind up the yarn...



About 2200 yards...



Made into 100g balls



by hand....



And then I could knit:



The socks are done by the way, I just have to weave in the ends.

Happy knitting!

May socks

The skp2008-KAL have a new pattern out. The Berlin-Pattern.

I knitted all day yesterday, and then into the night. A good 15 hours knitting...

Here are my Berlin socks:



Love the pattern, even if 60 sts is a little big for my skinny legs.
The yarn is beautiful Opal Smoke (60g).
Needles: 2.5 mm

Have a nice weekend!

Pink odessas

I had this cotton yarn in my stash that was going to be washcloths, but then I dicovered that it was this beautiful and soft maco cotton and I had to make something else. I love the Odessa pattern so here are three more Odessas:



Pattern available as free Ravelry download.
Yarn: Pandora maco cotton (Rauma), 70g
Needles: 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm

I added a little fun to the smallest hat:

Podcast listening

Do you listen to podcasts? I listen to a lot of podcasts about knitting and crocheting. One of my absolute favourites is the Yarn Thing podcast hosted by Marly.



The first time I blogged about the Yarn Thing podcast was in the beginning of Mai 2007 (back then I only blogged in Norwegian), so I have been listening almost from the start and we have become good friends on the web. :)

She has a 1 year anniversary right now. Congrats Marly!
I hope you'll continue podcasting for a long time.
