A little pink purse

This purse was gifted this summer - I just forgot about it...



The recipient (my niece) was very happy with it.

No pattern, cotton yarn (mandarin petit)and the button is from an old coat - my moms I think.

thanks to manne - for making me blog ;)

Pink bag and progress

My Pink crocheted bag, in the hated pink yarn, is done:





Or almost done. It needs lining, but that could take years...

I did some needle felting:



The bag is felting (hopefully) right now. *needles crossed*

Yarn Mystery Progress

I'm still thinking that this is going to be a bag, and I'm really happy to see this yarn go, it's very orange:

No idea!

Yarnmystery no: 4

I'm already well into the fourth Yarnmystery by Liv-Toril:



It looks like some kind of bag. The last part of the pattern comes on friday.


June socks

On hold, when I'm knitting the mystery bag(?), is the June socks from the Sokker2008-KAL:



And there are a couple of prodjects still on my needles (see my last post).

Have a nice weekend!


Riktig god helg til alle som er innom, og tusen takk for koselige kommentarer. Jeg fortsetter nok bloggingen som før (og skal prøve å unngå sutringen).


Ikke alltid lett
å være 4. klassing. Dette sto bakpå en bok i sønnens sekk:


"Fag: har ikke PEiling"

Akkurat slik jeg føler det med strikke-mysteriet. ;)

A lot

There's a lot on my needles.

Socks:

This is the June pattern in Sokker2008.
Thank you for getting me started (you know who you are). :)

A bag:


A scarf:


Another bag:


The shrug is frogged... :(

I couldn't make it fit, and the yarn acted stupid - It twisted a bit, so the hole shrug twisted.

And a lot of washcloths:


We have had a warm and beautiful weekend:


I hope you'll have a nice week.

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*


Back to knitting.

Central Park Hoodie and a ball

Tusen takk Frøken ij!


Central Park Hoodie - progress:



It looks kind of small, but I'm continuing knitting anyway.

Have a nice weekend!

Embroidery

Is not my strong site.....




I tried back-stitches, look at the left side, not to impressive, I know.

And then I did something else on the right side, much better. And then I had to take apart the left side emroidery and do it all over again. And this is just one side of the tote....

Did I tell you that I hate all work with a sewing needle? If I didn't - I'll tell you now - I really do. And still, this was fun for me, I don't know why. Better pic tomorrow.

More Celtic Tote and another hat

Knitting day and night gives progress.....

My Celtic tote is almost done, knitwise. I think I need pockets inside, but first I have to embroider. Sewing is not my strong side, but I hope it will look good in the end.

Yarn: Hifa tykt vevgarn

I've had this yarn for several years. I've been looking at it and thinking "why did I buy this, I'm never going to use it...", and I'm so excited that I found a project for it. But:

I think/hope this yarn will felt all right, I'm not really sure. What a bummer if it dosen't.



Sloched Tuva Hat again:

The third and fourth Slochy hat is finished.

Free Pattern

This time I altered the pattern by casting on 80 sts for the rib, 90 sts for the hat, and making it a little bit bigger before the shaping.

On to sewing.

Celtic Tote

I have started on the Celtic tote from Interweave Knits:


I'll make anything in the round if I can, so I startet making the bottom first, and I am knitting the sides as I go. Looks ok, I hope I have enough yarn.
