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:

Hat

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:

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.

Stitchmarkers

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.

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.
