New socks on the needles

2012-05-06T18:43:00.000+02:00

I have started on a pair of socks for little Mats. Karree socks, such a great sock pattern and an easy knit! Love this pattern and are surely going to knit several!

Pattern is free on Ravelry!

New socks finished - Latvian Braid Socks

2012-05-06T18:13:00.000+02:00

I have finished socks for Kaia this weekend! Pattern is from my head! So fun to knit and finally I learned how to knit Latvian Braid! And I tried the new wollwash from Wollmeise, made the socks so soft. Now, the challenge is to write down the pattern! Have never done that before.

Link to tutorial for Latvian Braid: http://ohdessaknits.com/2010/07/17/latvian-braid-tutorial-and-other-such-stuff/

Such a great tutorial!

Knitting bag for Nelago :)

We have had so much fun on Ravelry with Kal's and stuff! So one Raveler suggested that we gave our moderator a prize because she's so sweet taking care of us in the VM group!

I decided to make a knitting bag, playing with the special fabric and the printer is so much fun!

I have always dreamed about learning how to knit braid! And this weekend it just clicked, not difficult at all! Found a very good description on the web, so grateful! This is socks for a little girl knitted in Wollmeise of course. Herzblut and Natur!

Queen Socks

2012-04-09T10:55:00.000+02:00

I have finally finished my daughters socks! Got hit by the second sock syndrome big time! I'm very pleased with hoe the turned out! Knitted in Wollmeise - Herzblut and nature!

Chart:

I casted on 68 stitches, increased to 72 after the ribbing! Decreased after the heel to 64 stitches!

Color Affection, another shawl

2012-04-07T11:16:00.000+02:00

Another shawl in progress, Color Affection! How many shawls do I really need?? This one looks so gorgeous knitted up, I only have to have one! Casted on the other day and it's an easy knit! Not so mindless as Nuvem!

Wollmeise of course, in Maus Jung, Blue Curacao and Blaue Tinte!

Finally finished with my Nuvem! A Ravelry KAL knit!

2012-04-07T11:07:00.001+02:00

Didn't think I would ever finish this! But it took only 19 days to knit! Thanks to the KAL, that really inspired me to get this done! Will be a great shawl to wear in chilly summer evenings in Sweden this summer!

It's knitted in Wommeise We're Different Rubin!

Last project in KAL - Hitchhiker

2012-02-13T21:19:00.001+01:00

The last project on Knit-A-Long on Ravelry! So sad that its over. Hopes another KAL starts real soon. This is Hitchhiker in Wollmeise Twin Versuchkaninchen

Any Wollmeise Lover needs a project bag

This one I have sewn in quilt fabric and the text is printed on special fabric!

Maybe KAL project Hitchhiker

2012-02-12T12:47:00.000+01:00

My new project is Hitchhiker in Wolmeise Versuchkaninchen! Not quit sure I'll finish before the KAL ends on february 14. Hopes so, have planned the love declaration for sure!

Knit-A-Long socks

2012-02-12T12:43:00.000+01:00

I finally finished my KAL socks, love them!

The pattern is: norwegian lusekofte socks with some modification!

My first Wollmeise socks but not the last for sure!

Another Kal project - maybe

2012-01-22T16:49:00.002+01:00

An update :)

Wollmeise Maus Jung & Türkis Markis is going to be Norwegian Lusekofte socks! Not a traditional color combination, but I like it. Joing the KAL on Ravelry with this project also but I'm not sure if I will finish before february 14th! So much to do at work in the near future. The accounts for 2011 have to be finished soon!

I have blocked my shawlette today, never done that before so it was fun.

Used a polystyrene board, pins and a string. Worked fine! Pined the peaks waited a while then took out the pins and dragged the peaks further more, so fun!

A close-up on the lace edge!

Its my first but not last shawl! Loved to knit in Wollmeise 100%! So soft!

Second project - Wollmeise KAL on Ravelry

2012-01-18T20:48:00.001+01:00

My second project in this KAL is a shawlette called Maenad! My first shawlette ever! Fun to knit but I'm struggling a bit with the lace edge! So many knit together and YO's. But nearly halfway and thinking positive! To participate in this KAL is so fun but it ends on the 14. february. Hope there will be a new one soon.

Color: Moses and Jacuzzi

Is already planning my next and next and next project! So wonderful yarn to knit of!

Knit A Long on Ravelry

2012-01-08T11:22:00.000+01:00

I was inspired to join the KAL on Wollmeiseholic Group on Ravelry, just to try to knit of the yarn instead of just stash it! I must say, what a lovely yarn to knit of! Just finished my first project:

And are going to start project no 2 today, a shawlette! Have never knitted that before! But it's so hard to pick the colour!

Advent KAL Scarf - day 2 and 3

2011-12-04T00:56:00.001+01:00

Day 3

Day 2

Finished day 2 of the pattern, started day 3! One day behind! Hope I can be on track tomorrow. I'm new to lace knitting so the knitting goes slow! I hope I can learn a lot before I finish. Have learned one thing already, stitch markers are really a must have thing! Much easier to see if the pattern is right!

Advent KAL Scarf

2011-12-01T21:10:00.000+01:00

I have forced myself to start using some of the yarn that I have stashed! My first attempt in Wollmeise is a Advent KAL Scarf, seams like there will be a new pattern each day! When I saw the pattern for day 1 I thought: Oh no, this will take forever to knit but when I got the hang of it it went really well! Looking forward to day 2 of the pattern.

My co-workers in their hats :)

2011-11-02T11:48:00.000+01:00

Photo of some of my co-workers in the hats that I have knitted to them! Hope that they will keep their heads varm this winter :)

The Wollmeise addiction is picking up!

2011-11-01T18:01:00.001+01:00

New bag yesterday :)

I didn't have kräuterbeet from before so I'm thrilled :)

WOLLMEISE - here we go again :)

2011-10-29T15:40:00.000+02:00

Grab bags from october 24. Was a little bit disappointed, was hoping for Molto Frizzante! Maybe next time :)

Winter

2011-10-22T08:41:00.000+02:00

The winter has arrived. I think it's a little bit early.

Mittens

2011-10-16T16:00:00.000+02:00

Mittens for the little lady in the house. Terrible to knit with mohair and sock yarn but that was what she wanted.

The pattern in the mittens does not show really well. That´s because it was much white in the sock yarn, but I guess they turned out nicely.

Finished!

2011-10-09T21:37:00.000+02:00

Finally finished! 16 hats and one headband for my co-workers! Hope they will like them. I will watch what I say in the future. No more big knitting projects like this! Now I have to knit the other mitten for my daugther! She thinks " now it´s my turn" and she is of course right! Snow is falling outside and mittens are required!

Jelly Rolls

2011-09-14T20:28:00.000+02:00

Ble fristet til å skaffe meg disse, men har ikke peiling på hva jeg skal bruke dem til! De er bare så søte :) Noen som har ideer??

Does anyone have any idea what to make of this??? Thankful for all help :)

Buggy Barn

2011-09-14T19:25:00.000+02:00

Har lenge hatt lyst til å lære å sy Buggy Barn stjerner! I går kveld fant jeg en filmsnutt på Youtube som viste hvordan det skulle gjøres. Virket ikke vanskelig så i dag satte jeg i gang.

Første forsøk på stjerne!

Ble litt surr i tøyene, skulle egentlig ikke være noen som ble like, men shit la gå! Ser at jeg trenger å øve! men det var skikkelig gøy å sy!

Bag nummer 2 og et lappesamarbeid

2011-09-13T19:45:00.000+02:00

Endelig ferdig med teppe som min søster startet på i sommer! Hun var så snill å sy i sammen alle småbitene og sydde ramme rundt. Jeg har quiltet og sydd på lukkekant. En bra arbeidsfordeling syns jeg :)

Datteren i huset skulle og ha en helgebag. Og den ble sånn :) Litt vanskelig å sy i firkantene i siden, så det må jeg øve på. Et søskenbarn bestilte en bag, men tror jeg må øve en del før noe kan gis bort!
