New sweater inspired by Pippi - July FO

I had to start over but I had a nice knit during my vacation and A is happy with her new sweater.

Finally completed!!!!!

I have to pinch myself to understand that it is completed, my  - for more than a decade - UFO companion: The Bloomsbury cardigan from Rowan 28 is no longer a UFO but a  garment ready to be worn.

The yarn is Wool Cotton and I know I've made the sleeves longer than the original pattern.

I know I started about Rowan 28 (approx 12 years ago that is in Rowan magazine time)
I know I finished all the loose ends about 8 years ago (good car trip Stockholm - Kalmar and back).
I know it went back in the UFO bag due to poor embrodery skills from my side about the same time.
I know I made yet another attempt about 5 years ago.

I want to say THANK YOU for letting me be part of the 12under12under2012 group.

This now implies that my prime UFO is Stone circles - but I guess that's for the next decade.
This one also from Rowan 28.................

MVG - Well done!

Congratulations Amanda!
MVG in Craft and a very nice pair of knitted mittens.
It's been a nice to follow the progress and the very steep learning curve in knitting with two colors, dnp needles, increase and all the other steps on the way.
The pattern is from Nysta and the yarn i Drops Nepal and Noro Silk garden.

I'm a very proud God mother!

Babette blanket puzzle completed

I managed to complete the puzzle without losing one piece.

 I've used the yarn from my Lucy striped granny blanket. One of very few projects in acrylic yarn.

 I havn't blcoket it yet - being acrylic I'm not sure it will change. The smallest squares became a bit too big.

This has been a great project and I can see myself doing a second one. I like to use me wool yarn stash but still make the blanket a bit bigger. To be added to my dream list of future project.

UFO May and lucky me!

I leave the remaining baby cardigan for now and pick up an "old friend".
Bloomsbury from Rowan magazin 28 (?). +10 years as UFO.
Wonders have happened before.

This is my May UFO in 12under12under2012.

Lucky me - I won the May lottery in 12under12under2012 - the yarn looks very lovely.

Happy Happy!

Cardigan ready - FO May

In 12under12under2012 I didn't complete my April UFO so it developed into UFO May.
It was close that it stayed that way in May also but I managed to complete one of the childrens cardigans.
I knitted them for N when she was between 2-3 years (she is now 5). Little sister A has now turned 2 years so I hope that she can use them. This cardigan is made using my "standard" pattern, Strawberry Bud, from Rowan. This time without the buds. The yarn is bought at Yll o Tyll (I think) and is an eco cotton from either Huskroken och Regnbåge....

The colors aren't as orange as the flash makes them.

Babette blanket in progress

• Crochet all squares - check
• Weave in ALL ends - still in progress (I peaked in the black Sticka-bag and counted at least 36 left
• Next step is to make the puzzle, this since I'm not keeping track of where each square should be placed to follow the pattern.
  
  
  
  

At least I've been a good girl and written down the substitutes I've made as I ran out of yarn.
