Cardigan Finished!!

Hi!

I finished my cardigan! It is a pattern from cosmicpluto called top-down raglan cardigan. It is a great pattern that is really easy to adjust to you own size. I made it in Rowan yarn Kid Classic on 5mm needles.

I am so happy with it...I just think...as long as you can wear your first caridgan and can button it and stuff...it is a big succes...! I will be wearing it with only 2 buttons closed...looks better...

A new quilt!

I started this quilt yesterday...and the top is done. It is the strippy-quilt I do a lot. (see the tutorial on the sidebar!) The thing was that I had these fabrics that were too nice to use...but I thought...now it is time to use it. 

I like this as well...so it was a happy 3 days. btw...Thank you Kris for showing me the fabric for the border..!

I am going to our cabin for a while and am a bit behind...but I am hoping to catch up with all the email soon after the vacation!

See you later!

PS: a message for Annemarie!. (sorry that this is on the blog..but don't know how to do this otherwise)..Ik heb je een aantal keren terug geschreven maar krijg de email steeds terug...kun je me nog een keer emailen met een ander emailadress??

WWKIP day!

Hi!

I was in Stockholm 2 weekends ago and was at the World Wide Knitting in Public day and had so much fun. I met some people from Ravelry. I fogot my camera..so here is a link to Maria's Garn.

I had finished my bag..so took that with me and people liked it. Now that I have finished it I think it might be a bit too much for me...but..it is really nice!

I made the bag to fit the handles and it worked fine, but I did found it a bit hard to carry, so I am thinking of changing the handles..but I will let you know how that goes...*lol*

I have bought new yarn as well and started Clapotis:

I have also finished my Cardigan. I have just washed it to block it and will post a picture later...I love it!

I have noticed that now I am knitting more there is less to blog about just because it a bit slower...*lol*. But will be doing some sewing now....

Bye for now!

The Birthday Party

Hi!

Last weekend we had a birthday party for Dh who was turning 40 and for me turning 30 in a couple of months. We had a great time and a great party! The weather was great 30 degrees, almost too hot. We had a buffet with the Swedish smörgåstårta and then ice cream with strawberries as desert..and after that a snack table with some chips and some cheeses. We played the Swedish game Kubb after that..which was a lot of fun! A lot of people slept at the hostel down the road and came over for breakfast the next morning. The last guys left at 6 the next evening...some party huh...*lol* The pictures:

Besides the party I am still knitting and having fun playing with my yarn. More about that next time!
