Syfestival Spring 2015

I spend a day at Syfestivalen and finally decided the color combination for my "sweater to be" in Kalinka. I have been looking at this for several years, always having difficulty deciding between all the nice colors. I'm also tempted to by the Kalinka 21, but I'll wait for another color to come and (and also to complete) this sweater. The plan is to have this as a vacation knitting.

Apart from needles, buttons, a book, case handles I also brought home yarn to a shawl and gift from Sticka.

Lovikka mittens, January FO

They were a quick knit, at least until the thumbs (as always). They were my IFO projects for January. I have now completed the thumbs, I even managed to do some embroidery with sparkling thread (Candy from Svarta fåret).
The lovikka yarn is from Järbo with some left overs from my stash. I have learnt that there is a difference also between lovikka yarns. This was more scratchy compared to the earlier I have.

 I just hope that he kids are happy and will use them.

Win win win

1) Musikhjälpen got 110 kronor
2) I do not have a hat that will fill my drawer and never be used
and I hope that
3) Klara in the south of Sweden will enjoy my FO for November - the OS inspired hat.

Support to Musikhjälpen, #mh14

On sale to support "Musikhjälpen 2014".

I knew half way that it was going to be too big. Why stop and redo???? I know I have a small head.

This was my UFO for November (started in 2010). It is the "OS mössa", the hat that the Swedish skiing team had that Olympic, but in different colors.

Anyway it's out for sale to support Musikhjälpen in their work raising money to stop HIV.
The auction is currently on 1 SEK so I hope for more :-)

First Christmas ball

I bought the book at a sales in a books store this summer and additional yarn at Syfestivalen in October.
I started with No 1 and it is now completed and also wrapped and given away. We gathered parts of the family for "Little Christmas" Saturday.
One gift each in a bag and then you walk home with another present.


I promised to knit me daughter another one (she actually gave me a list of 4 different models)

Note to self

Don't leave knitting on the floor.
Don' step on it.
