Cloudberry

Ishbel is finally dry after blocking. I was not sure if I was going to like the colours when I knitted this. But after getting it off the needles and blocking it, I think it turned out pretty :) The colours are a bit more sharper and intens than in the pictures.


I didn't have enough yarn to complete the D chart in the pattern. But I think the size is just right for a shawl to wrap around your neck ;)


Pattern: Ishbel
Yarn: 100 g Zauberball, colour: Grashalm.
Needles: 4mm
Size: The "wingspan" is ca. 150 cm and from the tip and up it's ca. 50 cm.




I've knitted up a bib in green as well - must try to keep up with Project Spectrum :) Again the colour is more sharper.


Pattern: Made along as I knitted ;)
Yarn: Mor Aase bomull and Gjestal Bomull Sport.
Needles: 3,5 mm


Even if it's Summer now, Fall will soon be upon us. So I've started to knit warm things for the kids ;)
This is a pair of socks for Endre. I was gamling about having enough yarn - and I ran out just before the toes were done... So I used the little leftover from Ishbel to knit the toes with.
Pattern: Simple k2, p2 socks with a short-row heel. 52 st.
Yarn: Admiral Ombr, colour: Schachtelhal. I've used the leftovers from these socks.
Needles: 2,5 mm

Joining Ginny over at Small Things for Yarn Along.
"~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? ... ~"



I casted on for a new project today - a new jacket for Eirin. The pattern is from Kæk og klassisk børnestrik
by Lene Holme Samsøe. She have choosen the colours herself ;) Those of you who wonder about the cardigan I had on my needles. Well, it turned out too big for me, so I have froged it... And I don't have the motivation to start over.
I'm reading several books at the moment (check me out on Goodreads and friend me if you want), but the one I just can't put down right now is The Outlander by Gil Adamson. (Enken in norwegian)


I have finished a pair of socks - perfect tv kitting ;)

Needles: 2,5 mm

The weather is back to cold again after a few days with warm teperatures and rain. Enough rain to make the roads slippery again :(
But not enough to melt the little snow we have, so the water seems to have enough isolation to prevent it from freezing ;)
And with a clear sky the polar nights dosn't feel so dark, we could even see the sun paint the clouds pink the other day! And it's not many days until she turns, so the days will get lighter again :)

I've been knitting some hats lately ;) They're all for my Epla shop.
