Have'nt posted anything in a while.. not even sure if someone is interesting.

Did knit a little on a scarf but then decided I need a few size bigger needles so I'm going to start it over again .. have'nt come up with new ideas..my head is still epty..lol..
Found a pattern in english and I'm trying to translate it so I can start knitting..Not sure how it's going to go ;)

Got the new Suuri Käsityölehti and there where a few nice things I could do..waiting for the inspiration now. I would need new mittens but have'nt come up with how they would look like yet..let's see..

So not much going on at the moment with the crafting..but alot on the go with our house =)!!

BUT...my head is empty, I don't know what to start knitting with it!!! A few days now and only a few rows on some old projects been done.. I'm out of ideas..
Have been looking in old knitmags but have'nt found anything yet...Let's see what I come up with..;)

Another one..But really must think over with the pattern coz' it's not ok =( The edges starts to roll and don't look good at all. Not sure what to do now..keep this or rip it up..hmmmmm...
The yarn is Novita Samos Lollipop and I LOVE it =)
What next..another scarf ?!..lol =)

Todays project is maybe a bit too fluffy..but someone might like it =)
The crochetted flower is nice. Maybe it fits with the scarf too if I come up with how to add it there..maybe with a needle.

Knitted the scarf today. The yarn looks good on this one ;) Only thing is that the edges will roll up a bit. But my mum already sayd she sure can take the scarf..lol :) I think I was doing good..knitting this in one day, dye the yarn myself ( last week ) and come up with the pattern...Hurreeyyyy for ME Haa..aa!!!

Decided that I'll start knitting ready some of the halfdone projects that I have. (and I sure have a few..)So made this jumper ready today. Only had the sleeves to sew and to knit the collar. The pattern is from an old Novita magazine and the yarn is 7 veljestä.

The cap is made with the pattern fromLauras blog Thanks! ;) It was fun trying out a new knitting tecnique.

Now I need to continue on some of the halfdone projects before I'll start a new one..

Todays mail..the new issue of Novita. There are lots of lovely designs in it. I also like the new yarncolours they have.
Then I got some Kool-Aid from my friend Vicki..Thank you..you are sooooo sweeet!!!! Now I have to find out how to dye some own yarn =)
Here is my funny new cap I made last weekend .. I like the pattern so maybe I'll do a new one in some different colour.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you who read my blog :)
Have been in knitty mood and got a few things ready. Made the legwarmers a few days ago.
Noticed that after using them one time they already look worn..but it's the way the yarn is. Just hope they don't turn out stretchy and burled :(
The wristwarmers (or what shall I call them ) I got ready today. And it feels so nice and warm to wear them :) Think I'll have to knit another pair with some different yarn.
Knitted these with Novita Hippy yarn
Needles nr 7
Patterns my own
And by the way...it's not easy to take a pic of both your hands by yourself lol :o)
