Stickfrossa bag

Even if I didn't knit much last fall I got my hand on a bag from Stickfrossa. She has now opened a webshop with a lot of nice and beatiful things.

Calmer sweaters ready for my girls

I passed Wincent earlier this spring and found the following yarn on sale, calmer for two sweaters and some 4-ply for a very girly cardigan (which can now be 2, one for each of my girls).

I made some changes so that A got a cardigan instead of a sweater, which makes it easier to dress and undress. I found the buttons at Trassel (my new closest yarn store).

Last buy from Marias garn

Saturday was the last day for Marias garn, one of my preffered yarn stores, located only a short walk from our old apartment and day care (which made me an N frequent visitors).

N and I made a last visit and brought home the last bag with very nice yarn.

I was inspired by Marias latest projects, the Crow Waltz Shawl and N decided she wanted a blue cardigan in Classic Alpaca.

Today is the first day for Litet Nystan in the same location, time to plan for the next visit down town.

Our daughter A, three weeks old

Our daugther A is here, now three weeks old.

N is a very proud big sister, already over three years old.

She is one reason for not blogging, in the sense that the only "morning sickness" feeling I had was when knitting. That over now so I may post more frequently than last year.

...and some more yarn....

From the sock club I saw these socks and then I followed the link to the yarn producer, Miss Babs. There I got stuck looking at all the nice yarns and color combinations. My sister went to the US and voilá, an opportunity for her to bring me back some yarn.

Looking at all the colors and not being able to decide I went for the blackbird shadows. I lack a black sweater sometimes and the idea is to make an Hourglas sweater.

more rag carpet cardigan

It's fun!!

I think I'll need more yarn than I origially planned.

I'll use the same coloring on the sleeves as on the body. I used my Lady February sweater for measurements, I hope it will fit :-)

I like!

a lot from the last Interweave knits.

Maybe it is because I would like to look that way :-) I guess it's warm (and that's a good thing!). I think I would miss the long sleeves. I havn't really figured out all the thick woolen cardigans with short sleeves just yet.
