Summer crochet cardigan

Inspired by Maria and then also by Liselotte I've started a new crochet project. I got some great yarn in the second Drops sales, Muskat in 9 different colors and have now calculated, and re-calculated and also started on my cardigan.

So far it gives me the feeling av rag carpet (trasmatta) but with the colors it makes me happy.

Summer knitting - Eco cardigan for N

N is growing (or at least I hope so) and it's time for a bigger size of my "standard baby cardigan".

This time a red one in the eco cotton from Huskroken. I have 4 hanks and took one random to start with. When completing the back it noticed that the other 3 hanks are colored differently, the first one has more pink and white dots and the other have a darker pink shade. Time for a re-start and this project is now in the standard "Anna stand-still". That is when the finish-up starts and the last knitting of neckband etc.

Here is at least a picture of the start.

I share the FO any day....................... I'm lucky she is a small size yet.

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.
