Dishcloths - again and CoP progress

I think I have enough dishcloths for a while...



I'll show you all of the dishcloths soon (it's a lot!).

Curve of Pursuit

The CoP is getting bigger and bigger:



And I'm almost out of gray yarn. Maybe I'll find a similar gray, or maybe I'll use a different color. Like red? hehe

Happy Saturday!

Yay - it's Friday!

Finally Friday.

The CoP-blanket is looking great:



But I'll propably run out of the gray yarn, and I'm not really happy about that. I'll have to think about what to do...

In the spirit of cleaning up the closet I've found all my FO's that are just FO's with no plans. I have a lot of FO's:



More about this later.


Have a really nice weekend!

Belle of the Ball Podcast

Sherrill's podcast the "Belle of the Ball Podcast" is one of my favourites. I've been a listener since she started podcasting.



She is having a little contest, and I'm all in. Please visit HERE.

CoP progress

Not a very big blanket yet *lol*



The yarn is very hard on my fingers so I have to knit something else in between:



A garther stitch dishcloth in cotton tread.

New project

I've started a new project: Curve of Pursuit



But I'm not sure that I'm ready for such a big project...


Off the needles: More dishcloths



This time in a (k5,p5) pattern, easy and decorative.



Yarn: Mandarin Classic (cotton)
Needles: 4.5 mm

Only 4 months

It's only 4 months to *you know what*.

Do you have a plan?

Here are some crocheted stars to get me started:



Pattern: My own (sort of)


And the cards I made the other night:



Are you making any gifts this year?

Some cards

I made some Christmas cards yesterday, but not from the kits (see prev. post).

The pics are not ready yet, but I have pics of some cards I made earlier this month:




I know they are just simple cards, that any kid could make, but that is where I'm at right now. ;)

But I just love the little pirat, isn't he cute?

Happy Saturday!


Internt: Hei vennen, håper jeg kan gi deg et kort ala det rosa på toppen om en stund. Gratulerer og lykke til! :)

Making cards - not

Really - I really want to make some cards and I have 3 kits to help me to start to make my own cards.

Looks great, but how?? 3 lines of description really doesn't help me much. Really! *argh*





I give up!

But really - since I'm still in this mood: Why do scissors come in packing where you need scissors to open the sealing?



But really, I have to keep on, because I've gotten this for my Birthday:



yay!

But really - Have a nice weekend!

Making room - tutorial

Plastic bags take up a lot of space.

Here is what i found in the kitchen cupboard:



Looks like a lot....

But really, if I fold them, you can see that it's not that many:



Want to know how?

Here we go:

1. Take any plastic bag



2. Fold it once



3. and then again



4. start at the bottom and make a corner



5. continue folding



6. until you're almost at the top



7. Fold the top of the bag once



8. make a corner



9. The top of the bag goes inside the folding



10. Done!




Man - I wonder why I'm not getting any knitting done...

Felted Wool Balls

My felted wool balls from my last post made it to the Craftzine blog, and I've had a lot (!) of people passing by my blog. Lots of fun! Thanks to The Lazy Milliner for making that happen.

I do needle felt the balls before washing, and I use a small net washbag the first time. And I also needle felt a little bit between washing.

TGIF

What do you do with your bits and pieces of wool-yarn?

I save everything...

... and then I make colorfull balls for the kids to play with:



I needle felt them a little bit, before I throw them in the machine two or three times.




Have a nice weekend!!


Ravel it!


ETA: New post here
