award

I have got an award from Hobbyugla. Thank you, Ugla. nd by the way, if you have got lots of time on your hands I could use a Babette afghan :-)





I want to pass the award on to Chronic Ennui - I just love her blog. She makes a lot of great stuff and her blog is always fun to read.

På tide å blogge litt/Its about time I blogged some

I have been doing a lot of knitting this summer. The weather has been so terrible most of my vacation that knitting and crocheting has been the perfect summer activities.

I have just gotten a new phone with a better camera so I m going to take new pictures, but for now this will have to do

This jacket has been made with cluster crocheting in Limone

I made this with broom stick crocheting using Mauds silk yarn

For the winter I made half-mittens and scarf in alpaca and pearls

I have too much clothes in basic colors like black and brown so I wanted to make several scarves in cotton to bright up my wardrobe and the result was several scarves in different lace patterns. Pictures inspired by Cronic Ennui, she has the greates statue of a greyhound that she uses to show her finnished work, but since I only have live ones, I used them :-)

I found the pattern for this penguin in some blog. Monikas daughter got it as a going away present. I just call it ‘Evil penguin’ because of the eyes....

Of course I have several work in progress, one of them is this shawl made from two different Evilla colors

Strikkekurs

Jeg skal holde strikkekurs i butikken til Maud nå på lørdag og vi har også satt opp noen andre helger fremover.
Første kurset er Lær å strikke og Strikk med fletter og hullmønstre.
7. februar skal vi hekle sauesekk
31. mars er det påske i fokus med påskekyllinger, sitteunderlag osv
18. april kommer min favoritt: dominostrikk

Det blir spennende å se hvor mange som kommer :-)

Kalde føtter / Cold feet

Jeg fryser alltid om vinteren, så nå fikk jeg omsider somlet meg til å strikke tykke innesokker - strikket med et enkelt flettemønster i Viking-garn. Eneste problemet nå er at katten (!!) elsker å bære rundt på dem og da er de ikke så lette å finne igjen. Man skulle jo egentlig tro at det er hundene sin favoritthobby men jeg tror egentlig at Etta tror hun er en av hundene.

Akkurat nå holder jeg også på med å komponere et sjal i hullmønster til Mauds garn. Jeg strikker det i Big Ball Soft men det blir nok minst like bra i f.eks silke.

My feet are always cold during the winter, but I finally took the time to knit me a pair of sox, aran pattern with thick wool yarn (Viking). My only problem now is that my cat (!!!) loves carrying them around in the apartment so I am having problems locating them at times. You should think that if something is gone, you could blame one of the dogs - but 'No', not in my home. I guess the cat thinks she is one of the dogs :-)

Right now I am making a new pattern for a shawl for the yarn store Mauds Garn. Pictures will come as soon as I am done

Dominojakke til baby/ Mitred jacket

Da har jeg laget en dominojakke til baby. Dominostrikk er kjempemorsomt for det blir bare ferre og ferre masker etterhvert, men her er trikset å øke når man har kommet halvveis - og da er man jo snart ferdig :-)

Dette mønsteret er til Maud og jakken er strikket i garnet Fancy Sox

I love this knitting technique because you get fewer and fewer stitches as you go. When you are half done you start increasing, but then you are almost done anyway....

I made this pattern for Maud and the jacket is made of Fancy Sox
