March finishes

This month there has been only knitting. I have traveled a lot in my work, an it will be like this until Easter holidays. But then there will be less traveling and maby some time for dating my sewing-machine. :-)

This shawl werre finished earlier this month, but the blocking take some time, so I didn't do that until last weekend. It is knitted in Wollmeise in the colors Grapes for Sheri and Ballerina. 2 very beautiful colors. But all the colors in wollmeise are very strong and beautiful, so sometimes it is difficult to choose.

I have bought the pattern on Ravelry, and the shawl is called Morlynn.
There has also been some small knitting. One hat and two pair of socks. Look at the yarn, isn't it delicious? It is going to be a jacket for myself, it's only to find the perfect pattern. :-)

Am kalten Fana

Idag gjorde jeg ferdig denne genseren. Det er Fana-genser med rundfelling fra et av Sandnes sine mønsterhefter. Jeg har strikket genseren i Wollmeise, og fargene jeg har brukt er Natur og Am kalten Polar. Sistnevnte er flerfarget i turkis, blå og lilla. Ikke så lange fargeskift, og skaper en flott variasjon i fargene.


Garnet er utrolig nydelig å strikke med, og plaggene blir veldig deilig å ha på. Kan brukes som jumper da det er en veldig tynn kvalitet på garnet. Har brukt pinner nr 2.5 og 3. Bildet nedenfor viser nærbilde av halsen. Da vises fargespillet mye bedre også. Er det ikke flott?


Today I finished this sweater. The yarn is a very thin an soft superwash merino wool, wollmeise. I just love this yarn and the colors.

January finishes in March :-)


Never to late to tell about finishes. In middle of January I participated on a course were we should make boxes and small toiletpurses. This box is my result, and I use it to keep my knitting cables and lockers in. Very decorative and useful. :-)
In January I did some knitting. These small things like hats and mittens, is nice to have in a box for presents.


I also knitted a sweater for my son. He got the yarn and pattern as Christmas present, and during the Holidays and the first days of January I manged to finish it. He left back to University with the sweater in his suitcase.

My tunica is also finished. It is made of a very soft yarn, a mix between merino wool and kashmere. It is very soft to use, but it is difficult to get a picture with me inside. :-)
