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.

Start Babette blanket

I havn't touched the bag of unfinished cardigans for my April UFO. I hope for a long weekend.

Instead I've started a crochet project, the Babette blanket.

I'm a rookie at crochet and makes rookie mistakes - like counting. First attempt didn't came out as a square!

Next atempt was much better! Now it is fun and kind of addictive. I just not really ready for the approx 1000 threads to handle in the making up part...... 

I'm using the the reamining of the (acrylic) yarn from my Granny stripe blanket that I made for N earlier. This lanket will be for A - if it ever gets ready.

Toady my good daugther also came by to get some help with her school project. She is really good and took the advise to restart and change to larger needles exellent. Forgot to bring out the camera but hope to catch at least the finished mittens on "film".

Springtime Bandit XL with an edge

Completed and mailed to my dear J. I hope it will warm you.

It is almost 2 m wide. I made multiple base pattern and also added an edge from this book.
