Here's to a new year...

I actually made some effort for my blog this morning. I made the effort to find a topp/dress I made years ago, put it on and take photos. Thought it would be nice since I'm not finishing any projects at the moment, but my mobile decided not to behave and now the photos are all gone... I'm just slightly upset with it... I guess it'll have to redo it, not today tho.
Instead I changed the looks of my blog, not sure I'm too pleased with it but I'll do for now and until the next time I haven't got much to do and feel like putting some further effort in to my blog...
I think this will be my last post 2010. Maybe a new years promise to put some effort into blogging would be a good idea...
Anyways, happy new year to everyone and may you all be well! And if you can't be good... be safe!

During ongoing production

I'm working on at least four different projects at the moment. A scarf that's meant to be a christmas present but won't be finished in time, bought the yarn in France and ended up not having enough but found a site yesterday where I could order more. Probably will take quite some time before I get it since I'm ordering it from England and there's a bit of snow over there...

Also working on another scarf, started it today so haven't got very far. It's probably going to be a late christmas present/ birthday gift if I don't like it to much and want to keep it myself :D


The third project is candle holders, 2 made 6 to go...


No4 is the grandma' square blanket, constantly ongoing but not enough made to put up another picture...


Instead I'll show you something I made quite a few years ago. It used to be a longsleaved t-shirt I loved but never used anymore and this is what I made out of it...

Gloves

After nearly freezing my fingers of in Paris wearing my mittens, I decided to buy wool and make a propper pair of gloves. Found a nice black wool with a bit of silver in it and bought at the same time a hook size 5.0.
Used the thread dubble to make it extra thick and ended up not having enough for the last thumb. So I undid the pretty much finshed gloves, shortened the part around the wirsts and remade them.

I love them! They're really warm and they look good too!

NIce and warm

The second thing I "had" to do was a warm scarf. Bought the wool fairly cheap in a chilly Switzerland, then went to warmer southern France where I sat outside in the sun knitting it. Some times I felt like a bikini would be more useful...
I started of with 10plain rows, then plain&pearls (not sure how many) and then starting over again. Thread the pearls on the wool and attached when ut suited me. In the end I sewed the two ends together to make it into a circel.

Don't let travelling stop you

I've been out travelling for a little over 2 months now, visiting France, Switzerland and England but now I'm back since a few days. But being away doesn't have to mean no time for creativity. I've managed to create several things and I started of with mittens. I improvised and restarted a number of times before I was happy with them.
This is what they look like:
