Lettuce Knit Armwarmers

Lettuce Knit Armwarmers, knitted in Berocco from Loop. (True colour more purple than blue...)

A bit of sewing

Made some long sleeve shirts for the boys recently...

...and a skirt for me - made of an old apron. (photographed on a quite blustery day...)

Via Monster Arkivet, I found this lovely and inspiring blog - where you now can be one of the lucky one to win a 'Pippi Hat'. Fingers crossed.

Graduation

This is me today on my graduation in Plymouth. I didn't really had much of an idea of how it would be or feel, but I can tell you that it did feel great. It was a very special day and made my studies feel even more important and well worth it.


... and here are two graduates still to come...

The Hoe in Plymouth where the Graduation Ceremony was held.

Waldorf Dolls for Playgroup

Before the summer holiday, I promised to make a couple of new Waldorf Dolls to the Playgroup at the Steiner School I work. So here are now the new friends ready to play with our playgroup children.

A Japanese girl in her new kimono.

'Heavy Baby' from this pattern - filled with Lavender scented millet.

FO's

Cardigans for my boys. Pattern: Wonder Years Toddler/Child Cardigan.

Yarn: Malabrigo 

Yarn: Shilasdair

MiA's Mystery shawl finished in lovely Malabrigo Sock, colour Archangel. 

An Old Oak Tree and A Present

Two happy boys in a funny old oak tree - almost as in Pippi Langstrump's stories.

Another of Stickfrossa's Ponchonette. This time knitted in Drops Merino Extra Fine and will be sent off to friend J today.

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.
