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.

About the Celtic tote:

It's all done. Just missing some pics. The felting went well.


Happy weekend!

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.


Chinese Waves Dishcloths

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



Free Pattern: Chinese Waves Dishcloth, 45 sts
Needles: 5 mm
Yarn: some cotton from stash


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.

Update on the Celtic tote

Oh- I kind of forgot my blog and the update I promised. The Celtic tote is all done, with a pocket inside, and ready to be felted in the washing machine. Here it is:





I'm stalling - I would be so sad if this dosen't turn out great, as I think/hope it will.

In the meantime I'm using the leftover yarn to knit a smaller purse.

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.
