Shawls blocked

... and ready to be wrapped for gifts.

FO's amongst all the others...

My Fan Shawl has been finished for a while already, but I just couldn't get around to weave all the 'end-bits' until now. It is now having a little soak before blocking.

Charlie Pom-Pom Scarf has also been finished for some time, except the pom-pom's that is. But now they are there and soft as a baby's cheek.

...and finally, two quite resistant boys to model 'fusk-ollar' (Swedish for 'fake polo-neck) for the winter. Sadly I was seduced by the colours of Jarbo Fantasi yarn, because the feel of it is not as nice and I doubt the boys will agree to use them - 'to itchy'...

VickeVira's Mystery Shawl

Three clues knitted so far and I absolutely love it. Both the feel and look of the yarn - Malabrigo Sock, Colour Archangel - and the pattern which is so fun and fast to knit.

Hemp Dress

Last year I got a wonderful hemp-fabric from my mother, and finally I got around to sew something. Loose and very comfy fit.

Found the pattern in an old 'Allt om Handarbete'.

KAL

I have decided to join Vickevira's Mystery Shawl KAL. Using Malabrigo Sock, colour 850 Archangel. Never joined a KAL before, so this is exciting and what I have seen of others, the shawl already looks great.

Bag

            

Long time ago, I got this lovely fabric from my cousin M and started to make a bag from 'Home Sewn', a lovely and beautiful book. It has taken some time, but now it's ready to go. I put a flat/sturdy bottom in it to keep its nice form.

Swallowtail Shawl

My Swallowtail is ready for a soak and to be blocked. I don't know what I expected when knitting in laceweight, but right now it seems so small...

Tilda Angel

Bathing Angel for my mother on her birthday.

End of Term, Presents etc

Last Friday was the last of our normal school term and the 'going-up-children' could take home their special projects they been working hard on for quite some time after they had their lovely ceremony. My Elliot was one of the children leaving kindergarten and will start Class 1 in September. It is so exciting to entering a new adventure.

He did have another sort of adventure already though - a close encounter with the edge of the stairs - and ended up with six stitches on his eyebrow... and many lovely colours...

I was a very lucky lady who got lovely presents. A pile of 'fat-quarters' from V&A from my dear colleague...

...and gift voucher to lovely Nest - which today resulted in another wonderful pile...

Today was also the first day of my Summer Craft School that lasts this week. Today was wet-felting.

All the children's lovely 'wool-pictures' hanging to dry.

Petra's Lilla Kofta

Finally 'Petra's Lilla Kofta' has been sent off to baby Isla together with gorgeous little booties.
