Central Park Hoodie - Give me an arm! or two.

I just have to show you my progress:



Yay - It's looking great, so far.

I think I'm going to skip the hoodie, I've made the Rogue, and I never use it, because of the hoodie, I think. We'll see.


Happy weekend!

The 8-trick Pocket hat

The 8-trick Pocket hat is done:



It's to big for me, and was a little bit weird on any head in this house, probably the yarn, so it's frogged. But I really loved what I learned knitting this. I really recommend Tech Knitters blog.

Look at the nice decreasing:




Free pattern: Pocket hat by Tech knitter
Size: Rasta
Needles: 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm
Yarn: Smart

On and off the needles

I've crocheted a hat this Easter:



It's a little big...

Free pattern: Beacon Street Cloche
Yarn: Fritidsgarn
Needle: 5 mm (H)

It's felting right now, I hope.


Easy Easter Scarf

I also started on an easy scarf with the yarn from the Zombie socks, that I frogged.



Free pattern: Easy scarf
Needles: 5 mm (US 8)
Yarn: Superwash wool, fingering weight


Central Park Hoodie

Some progress:




It is full winter outside. I want spring, right now!

I won - again

I must be the luckiest - I won stitchmarkers again, and they are beautiful, and just what I needed for my lace knitting.



This time it was Vicki at Simle Knits that had a "What to knit with 1-285 yards of yarn"-contest.
You can find the 500 patterns she gathered HERE.

I contributed with some of my own patterns, found HERE.

Thank you so much, Vicki.


And thank you all for your nice comments during the Easter Holiday. I've been away for a few days, but I'm up to visit your blogs right now.

Meet Matilde (and cph)

Do you remember Oscar?

We have had another visiter. Matilde (whom also is a first-grader, not a teddy-bear). She wanted the same outfit as Oscar, just for a girl.



Thank you for visiting. :)


Central park hoodie

Have I told you that I'm knitting cph? The cardigan is filling up my blog, just like Celtic tote did...




Sock Madness 2



I'm in, I don't understand/remember what I'm supose to do. I'll just knit the socks, if I have the yarn, I think.... The start up is in the evening, but I'm not sure if it's Wednesday or Thursday. *lol*

Celtic Tote - again, and more

The Celtic Tote is still not felted. I'm really afraid that it will look like crap after felting....

I've made a small purse of the left over yarn and a pocket inside the tote.



Maybe I'll felt it tonight, if I dare.

I've made 3 Chinese Waves Dishcloths. A nice stitch, but I havn't tried the cloths yet.

Central Park Hoodie

I'm still knitting on the CPH. It still looks like it's going to be to small for me. I'm in denial.

So far:




What are you knitting? Leave me a message and I'll visit your blog or your Ravelry projects.

Jacobean

Jacobean is the first socks of "Sock Knitters Pentathlon 2008". Someone knitted these socks in only 9 hours. I'm knitted my best, didn't take (many) brakes and used over 20 hours. Gosh - I'm slow. ;) Now my arms deserves to rest. Here they are:
