Lovikka mittens for N

Years ago I bought pink lovikka yarn on sale (I don't even remember where now). My earlier attempts to finish mittens for N has turned into UFOs so a restart was needed.

I also felt for a quick project for the Holidays. The pattern is from this book. The hat is actually also from that book and a FO 2010. The scarf was made 2009 - maybe.

Being pink they were quickly accepted. She actually decided herself to also put on the scarf and the hat that I've made earlier.

In the future I'll maybe do stuff that matches.

Christmas is over

During the Holidays part of the family (myself not included) re-installed the PC but this is now completed for me to use and also reach pictures taken during Christmas.
I managed to complete the stockings for both girls. N (5 years) was thrilled over the candy content while A (1.5 years) more was trying to wear them and walk (with little success).

Both are made in Lima from Drops and if no one eats them during the year I'll use them again.

12under12under2012 January UFO

I've joined 12under12under2012 to get some energy to finish hopefully 12 of my projects.

First out in January is my Stjärnhop.

With my investment in a mew sewing machine I have now restarted the project and hope to end it during January.
It's "only" the border left.

- Oh, I shouldn't....it is too much..... thank me very much! ...This is exactly what I wanted..............and it's not even Christmas yet.

Maja hat

I like all of Johannes patterns and decided to start with the Maja hat.

I like the Zauerball yarn in the pink/white/green shades - so I bought it.

The yarn is definitely not my colors, but in combination with grey it's wearable. (I think it would be even better with dark brown.) The pattern was fun to knit and I chosed the larger size since I do not like my hats to be too tight.

I just should have remembered that my head is still rather small and next time I'll try the smaller size.

Sprangeled cap or hat with tinsel (dvs paljettmössa)

How to translate "Mössa med paljetter"?
At Syfestivalen in November I bought some yarn to make this cap to my daughter N.

At a first glance - pink/orange yarn with "paljetter" I thought - how tacky can yarn be?

Then knowing my N, she would love a cap in this yarn. I continued shopping some pink soft wool and here it is. The pattern is based on a cap in this book.
