Offset Wraplan

This is the Offset Wraplan (Ravelry link) I made for a special little girl that was born 11th August. Her birth was a bit of a surprise, so I had to make something after we had heard she was born instead of beforehand. I made socks to go with the cardigan.

I sent it off on Monday and I hope it will be liked and used.

Feather and Fan Comfort Shawl


This is the Feather and Fan Comfort Shawl that I made in August as a gift. It was an easy and rather quick knit, which was just as well as I had set myself a goal to knit this within two weeks. So I was knitting during every spare moment, where ever I was. I'm glad that the recipient really liked it. That made giving it even more special.

I used yarn from my stash, it is a wool/acrylic blend. It must have been in my stash for more than a decade. The yarn is just a tad too itchy for my skin. This was a great opportunity to use it.

Running out of yarn

I found this beautiful pattern on My Aunts Attic and I am crocheting a curtain or wall-hanging with it.

I bought the yarn during our holiday in Austria last year. I could only buy two skeins. Is is a beautiful blue colour and I think it really suits "Night", as the pattern is called, very well.



I have been working on and off this project during the last 12 months or so. I have now finished one skein and have done about one third of the pattern. I have now come to the point where I have got to decide whether to frog everything or make the middle part in a different colour. I think I will let this project rest for a while and maybe start again with another colour.
