Babette blanket in progress

• Crochet all squares - check
• Weave in ALL ends - still in progress (I peaked in the black Sticka-bag and counted at least 36 left
• Next step is to make the puzzle, this since I'm not keeping track of where each square should be placed to follow the pattern.
  
  
  
  

At least I've been a good girl and written down the substitutes I've made as I ran out of yarn.

Start Babette blanket

I havn't touched the bag of unfinished cardigans for my April UFO. I hope for a long weekend.

Instead I've started a crochet project, the Babette blanket.

I'm a rookie at crochet and makes rookie mistakes - like counting. First attempt didn't came out as a square!

Next atempt was much better! Now it is fun and kind of addictive. I just not really ready for the approx 1000 threads to handle in the making up part...... 

I'm using the the reamining of the (acrylic) yarn from my Granny stripe blanket that I made for N earlier. This lanket will be for A - if it ever gets ready.

Toady my good daugther also came by to get some help with her school project. She is really good and took the advise to restart and change to larger needles exellent. Forgot to bring out the camera but hope to catch at least the finished mittens on "film".

Springtime Bandit XL with an edge

Completed and mailed to my dear J. I hope it will warm you.

It is almost 2 m wide. I made multiple base pattern and also added an edge from this book.

April UFO - bag of cardigans

I love to knit! I'm not that passionated about completing and finish up.
I found a bag of children cardigans that were knitted intended for N (now 5), I better complete them if A (almost 2 ) should use them before they are too small. At least one should be done as April UFO.

I do what I can - I knit

Two weeks ago I brought my god daughter to Litet nystan. She wanted an MVG (highest grade) in crafts (syslöjd) and we went to do some shopping. Together with Triinu we decided for mittens designed by Nina at Nysta in Silk Garden and Lima. I hope it will not be too difficult.
I bought some yarn at the same time. A dear friend has received bad information about her health and I need to do something - so I knit - and hold my breath. It will be a Springtime Bandit - a huge one. The yarn is Manos Silk Blend.

Flower sweater ready

N stated that she wanted a new flower sweater since the first one no fits her little sister A.
She asked for one in black with beige sleeves.

Of cause orders can be altered, no beige - just black. (Stupid mom not to think of all options at Syfestivalen and not invest in sufficient stock for all possible alternatives!)

After some negotiations pink and striped sleeves were OK. I think I had 23 cm left of the black yarn when ready. 0 of the darker and about 10 m of the ligt pink.

Now it just remains to see if she will wear it .

Better always bring a knitting
