Mikado

And because I am lousy at blogging I managed to finish a sweater for Albert without a single post about the proces. So here it is. Mikado by Falkenberg. Way too big -but that's better than being too small!

I have another pile of squares too....I'll save those for another day.

Sexy vesty

Have been wanting to make a vest for a while. After ages at Ravelry I finally came across Sexy Vesty by Canaryknits. Also liked Orford from Rowan and Talia from knitty.com. The latter is a free pattern too. Migth make it next time but with a few modifucation. Like no buttons!

A zillion squares...

Well...almost :-) Here is another bunch of squares. I have made 52 by now.

Square time!

All of a sudden the urge for making squares hit me again. So here are square no 28 to 34.

Square 1 to 27 are here.

Still lots of flowers...

Though it is getting colder everything is still blooming like crazy!

Flowers and Leafs progress

The Flowers and Leafs Scarf is still growing. It's a fun knit that takes a little longer than usual due to the wrong side pattern. As the center and border repeats don't have the same number of rows I have had to chart almost every single row.

I am using Jaggerspun heather on 3 mm needles which seems to be quite appropriate. The yarn is very elastic and when not pinned out it looks a mess. Pinned out like this it's only sligthly messy :-). I am sure the wet blocking will do wonders.

Jennies Radiant Scarf

Jennies Radiant Scarf finally arrived safely at Jennie ;-) And here it is...in all its redness, spicing up the days that are getting shorter and darker.

You can purchase the pattern at LUL design where you can read more about it too.

Flowers and Leafs Scarf

With lots of Dahlias in the garden what is more obsious than to make a flower scarf?

Here's the beginning.

In a few days The Radiant Scarf will be published. I am just waiting for the receiver to get it ;-)

What happens if you forget the doug...

A mess!!

And eventually...

Lots of buns for the lunch box.

Swatching for a new lace scarf

Working on a new design...

Summer went by...

This has not been a summer with lots of knitting -nor blogging. But this morning I took a brand new design of the blocking wires.....a secret one, which will be revealed within the next week. It will also be possible to purchase the pattern at LULdesign , so come back for a peak.

Summer 2008 included:

Congress on Iceland

Skt Hans Bonfire

Congress in Chicago

Lots of flowers

-and lots of work!!!

still here

Okey, so I am not in a "blog every day" mood these days ;-)
I have been busy with this and this (which took a looot of time) and with my garden!

Which back in June looked like this

And now have evovled into these fantastic beautiful flowers!
