Summer dress for N

At some point this lovely cotton yarn followed me home and was turned into a summer dress for N. Here she is at my grandmothers 90th birthday.

Danish design and made on 2.5 mm, the yarn is from Marias garn (I don't remember the name now)

Happy Birthday Dad - 70 years

What do you give to someone how has everything he needs? Something knitted of cause!

I bought the yarn at Marias during the first Drop yarn sale this spring. It's a classic alpaca yarn and I used the Classic Camel vest from Knitting Daily.

With classic leather buttons it tirned out great and the size was perfect. (I did the last finishing after he tried it on just to be on the safe side).

Aeolian help & progress

I got some help with the knitting and sorting all the beads.

I'm now binding the threads and will soon block it. I had to start the 3 skein of yarn to finalize the bind-off.

Eco cotton sweater for N

I made the sweater using the eco cotton yarn I bought on sale earlier this year. I used a combination of two patterns from the book "Miss Bea's dressing up". I took the Tinkerbell Sweater flower but used the Hula Hula Sweater for the gauge.

The yearn feels good and N enjoyes it.

Mosaic Yoke Jacket completed

Neckline re-done and ready to use (I'll wash it some other time)
Lovely yarn, warm and soft.
I had to change the needles size, I used 4.5 mm, 5.25 for the pattern part and 4.0 mm for the edging.

Aeolian start

I've started on the Aeolian shawl. I'm using the orange Malabriga lace yarn I bought at Nysta and beads from Marias garn. Lovely pattern and very soft yarn, maybe too many beads for a relaxing subway knitting.

Mosaic Yoke Jacket - neckline undone

I followed the pattern without trying so now I have removed a few rows from the neckline and then added the collar. More pictures to come.
