Packing my bag!

Saturday I met Eva at Syfestivalen and recieved my price for finishing my LUFO cardigan Diva last year in the UFOblirFO2013. I'm proud and thankful for the great gift. The bag is beautiful and today I packed it and brought it to the office. I managed to meet some friends and have quick lunch knitting break.
Thank you Eva for offering this as a price!

Equinox Yoke pullover completed and Syfestivalen 2014

The Equinox Yoke Pullover is completed and I'm very happy with the result. The yarn is Lima from Drops.

 

I also spend Saturday at Syfestivalen and on "Stickas årsmöte".

Some needle replacement, yak, camel and einband for the fun of it and a pile of Rowan with the goal to make a present in XXL. In the back also the great bag that I won in UFOblirFounder2013 as my LUFO project DIVA. I missed my "shopping group" but overperformed on my own.

Diva - LUFO 2013 completed

I managed to finalize the LUFO for 2013.
It was my Diva cardigan from Hanne Falkenberg (Diva 9).
Thanks to Karin and Hanne to provide me with yarn to finish the cardigan.
I made size L and used 3,25 mm needles. Should I have started it now I would have chosen a smaller size but I loove the color and the yarn.
I had this as my LUFO for 2012 also but then didn't manage to complete it.

Happy Happy!!!!

Q3 to Q4 UFO

I managed to add the buttons, not much for 3 months. I have spent some time thinking about how to decorate the cardigan. I'll give it another go during Q4.

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!

Q3 UFO Crochet cardigan

It's time to finalize this cardigan. The idea is to put som embroderies on it, I just need to figure out what and how. Efter waiting more then 4 years it's time.

UFO Q2

I'm going to finish an old "depth" to a friend.
I volunteered to finish a wool sweater for a friend. I made a mental picture of something suitable for needles 5-6 mm but found M&S Safir for 3,5 mm. I did three balls before understanding it was far too small and stopped. Time to start again, and this time finish.
Pia - I'm planning to have it ready by Midsummer!!!

Haruni shawl completed - Q1 FO done!

I've blooked my Haruni shawl and it's ready to wear.
I had some good finishing up speed during the weekend with both the La La's simple shawl and Haruni. I even managed to block some sample knits (very unlike me!). It is propable repated to the urge to start new things!!! Maybe the best thing is just to start all the things that is calling out to be knittied. That would be a different challange - start at least 10 new project the coming month (I better not even think more about it).

The Haruni is knitted on 3.75mm in BC(?) Mulberry silk in an olive shade (I have no numberfor the color since the investment is 3 years old). I made the chart A one repeat larger than the original pattern.

I like the lace and hope Spring comes soon so time to wear it.

With the camera at hand, here are some more slides of the La La's simple shawl:

LUFO 2013

I'll try to get Diva finished this year - just need some more yarn first.

Haruni - Q1 UFO

For 2013 I've joined "UFO blir FO under 2013", but instead for one FO per month I'm targeting to finish one project per quarter. First project in my pile is Haruni, a beautiful lace shawl that I started in 2010 after finding the yarn in my Easter egg (not a big surprise since I bought it myself earlier at Marias Garn).

I started, decided I needed that needles for another project and left it i the bag.

I have now restarted and am ready to start chart B (I made one extra repeat of chart A)

Haruni is also the project that Avigmaskan is knitting this Spring and I thought that it could be good to get some support. 

I'm planning to join with a LUFO also for 2013 and it might be Diva - I just need to verify that I can get more yarn. Otherwise Stone circles is always an option - just maybe not in one year.......
