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.

Central Park Hoodie

Finally - I give you my Central Park Hoodie without a hoodie:



It was done a week ago, but I can't get anyone to help me with the pics.

Almost done:





Have a nice Saturday night!

turns into this:



I'm really happy. :)

Blue Egeblad and a sock in progress

I've all done, knitting the doily "Egeblad":



But I don't have anywhere to block it, my hubby is not to fond of pins in the bed ;) , so it'll have to wait.


Cabled sock progress:

Socks for the Sokker2008-KAL.

Have a nice weekend! :)

Did I tell you? - I won...

I know -

I'm the lucky one! :)

Dyveke from "Mitt lille univers" had a comment contest. I didn't understand the contest, but I had to comment in her blog, she has made some beautiful things, and somehow this landed in my hands:



It's an Opal Cotton sock yarn - I love it!

Please visit Dyvekes blog.


Tusen takk, Dyveke! :)

Vickie Howell had a comment contest, and I won -



The yarn is beautiful. It's "Rock" with soysilk, wool and hemp, in the colors Joan (black) and Kim & Kelly (Turquoise). I also got the pattern for the Lemon Drop Scarf and a nice project bag.

Thank you so much, Vickie!

Easy scarf and CPH progress

My easy scarf is done:



It's really soft and nice.

Free pattern: Beginners Reversible Scarf

Needles: 5 mm/US 8

Progress cph - h

There isn't going to be a hoodie on my Central Park Hoodie. I think I'll use this cardigan even more without the hoodie. The progress is good, but I'm still making a lot of other things in between the seaming.



I really don't like to seam, but I'm quite happy with what I did along the sides:



Now the harder part, seaming in the arms...


Happy knitting!

Easter hat and SockMadness

My Easter hat is felted and looking great. No stich definition at all:



It's a little bit to big for me, but my mom really want it.

Free pattern: Beacon Street Cloche
Yarn: Fritidsgarn, 150 g
Hook: 5 mm (H)

SockMadness2 - Sock 2 is the Reversai

Way to many stitches for my skinny legs. I couldn't make them fit, at least not on one foot.



*lol*

Happy knitting!
