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.

Lila sweater completed - soft and cozy


I bought the yarn in Berlin and it was very soft and nice to knit with. I made Lila and the model is a bit "baggy" in the sides (maybe because I haven't blocked it).
I increased the length both of the body and the sleeves with approx. 3 cm/1 inch.

I think this will be a new favorite for the coming winter!

Requirement from a designer

I want you to knit this for me!

Designed by N, an original.

My eldest daughter N (age 7) explained that she wanted a new cardigan with stars, hearts and moons.

I guess it's just for me to find the yarn and the time to knit this :-)
