Restart Diva - LUFO project

- After counting I know that I'm making a size L.
- Needlesize is 3.25 (I think)
- Pattern relocated.
I need to read and think(!) to understand what to do next with collor. So I started a sleeve instead.
No purl stitches in sight - yes! Colors are still great.

Jag läste om den boken på engelska och villa köpa den för att N skulle börja, det blev inte av men nu när den finns på svenska vill jag gärna ha den för att inspirera fler i familjen att sticka.

Lydia socks - KAL with Avigmaskan

I'm joining Avigmaskans KAL for the Lydia socks. I'm sceptical since my sock-knitting history is not impressive but I must be in some kind of "flow" - the progress is good! Both heels are made (it's a toe-up model) and I get some time every night sitting outside A's room until she falls asleep (being 2+ years many things are more interested than sleeping).

I hope to have time to come to Trassel on Tuesday, to get some help with the finish and to learn more about the Möbius shawl.

September UFO

Time again to dig into the UFO pile and this time I found Fetching, a fingerless mitten that I somehow stopped knitting after the first one - and not even that I completed.
Luckely I found the pattern at Knitty, now the next step is to figure out the needle size and restart.

Visit to Vilnius

I had the opportunity to take a business trip to Vilnius. Very hectic and intrestings days and only a short break to visit a yarn shop.  I went to Merzgimo Zona. It was a very nice shop with a lot of known yarns.
I was focused to get some local yarn. They had linen in many nice shades but I wasn't really prepared to buy (decide color and identify a target model to decide quantity etc.). 

Instead I found some nice local horn buttons (and one german with lace pattern).
 

Utlottning

Sticka på landet har utlottnig av sitt eget garn.

Självklart vill jag vara med i utlottningen.
