Caramel cardigan

It took me 3! months to bind all the threads but now it's completed.
My Caramel cardigan was started over new year on Teneriffe and I know that I completed all the knitting during Q1 (I thought it was a too easy project for UFO in Q2 - no knitting and not yet at "real" UFO).
The yarn is Alpaca Silk from Blue Sky Alpacas.

Sweater for Pia completed (Q2 FO)

Here are some more pictures of the sweater that I after many years completed.
I hope it'll fit and be liked.
I made an Eleanor cowl to match or to wear separetely. The sweater is based on Bond from Rowan mr 28 and knitted in Superwash Safir from Marks Kattens.




Gift wrapped and in the mail!

I was only going to buy....

...some vacation reading. Click, click and these ended up at home.Lucky me!
I already had the patterns for "Fritt etter.." but the book is so inspireing, many beautiful pictures and I'm starting to plan for another project.  Cast-on Bind-off is hopefully a good handbook.

It's my Q2 UFO, Eleanor cowl, Caramel cardigan and Layering Shrug.

The camera is "on strike" so more pictures to come.

Now the new problem of what to do next, and soon it's vacation time........

Last minue buy of Drops supersale in May

I made it - with only a few minutes left of May I put an order to Kaki.
The first part has arrived, Alpaca to make a Color affection, some more Lima to maybe change colors in the Equinox Yoke Pullover I'm planning and one additional Lett-Lopi in organge (carot) to maybe make Brynja. I bought some dark red a few years back at Syfestivalen.

I'm still waiting for Lima i petrol to make Celtica cardigan from Drops.

Apart from buying yarn I'm focusing on knitting and now to finish the Q2 UFO. The knitting is done - now the (not so) fun part begins.

Raka rör shawl

When Tant Kofta showed the hand dyed yarn I had to buy (or invest!) one skein.

Will be a great summer project.
