Finished, but....

....not for me, as predicted!

Another Thermis

Fastelaven

Here is my contribution to the discussion/conversation about the best recipe for the buns for Sunday. It's in Norwegian though.

Dette trenger du til å lage fastelavnsboller

¼ ts salt
1 pk gjær for søte deiger, fersk eller tørr

Krem
1/3 liter kremfløte

The everlasting story

I've made an effort, trying to finish off this Buttony sweater. I lost the courage when I realised that the size would never fit me. Anyway, I've decided to complete it, take it to work and let whoever fits it have it, just like the Cinderella fairy tale.

To make it more colourful I've planned to add buttons in 12 different and bright colours. The yarn is a mixture of linen and cotton and it's from a sweater I've frogged.

Another knitting bag

I made this yesterday from some old curtains. It's getting easier and faster every time I sew. Soon I'm a "proffesional" ;). I've put some Noro yarn in it, it's a teaser, my favourite colour sheme. Perhaps I'll knit a Clapotis, design by Kate Gilbert. You'll find it on Ravelry or in Knitty. You can even look up her blog Neddles on Fire where you'll find the pattern.

Three ways of wearing my Moebius

Thermis

Another birthday present finished. You'll find the pattern on Ravelry or here.

Full moon over Tromsø

One of my colleagues has taken this beatiful picture over Tromsø city. It's very cold for the time being and the moon is bright and clear.

Finally the pics have arrived

These are pictures from the day I made a cake, - a very rare occasion. You van find the recipe in Norwegian here. In the first picture it looks like something having crashed, that's after it went to the stove the second time.

The next gift, finished :0)

This is easy and cosy knitting. The yarn is Kitten mohair and it's soft, warm and light.

Received

The mittens together with some other gifts. The receiver was very happy about them, and the other guests were impressed. Not that many knitters among them though; they were easy to impress..

Yet another birthday present

The same shawl as the one I made for my daughter. You'll see me work on it here. This is in black and I've just started. It's very fast knitting so I think I'll finish it in time. Perhaps I'll even cast on the Thermis to go as a gift as well :0). Here is an example, it's on Ravelry and made by Ellinor (on Ravelry) and Ronille here in bloglandia.

Two more finished projects

Enkle pulsvarmere i skyggestrikk. Passer utmerka no som det e så kaldt. Dem blei tatt i bruk med en gang. Vottan blei veldig fine, og ja det e votta og ikkje sokka, dem blei godt mottatt av bursdags"barnet".
A pair of wrist warmers for me, very convenient because og the extreme cold outside. The PM was a birthday present. Actually they look like socs in this picture, but they are definitely mittens. My friend was awfully happy to have them.

Moebius, with my lovely yarn

Hazel knits, artisan sock, hand painted fingering yarn. This is called 101 Sailor's Delight. It seems a good choice for my new Moebius.

Lovely yarn, what a pleasure

I've treated myself. After finishing the last (or latest) pair of Paradoxical mittens, I have now begun casting on with this yarn and new needles. It's another Moebius, a larger one. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project.
