Apart from the beautiful Helen of Troy shawl to be a lottery, I will bring a big stack of cell phone cozys to the Montessori bazaar tomorrow at Brattåsskolan in Kållered. 17:30 to 20:00 there will be sales and lotteries. Here's a sneak peak at some home made goodies. After the bazaar the rest of the cozys will be sold on the internet. Stay tuned for that!

Hélène de Troie

Reykjavik grey

In Iceland, I started to knit the grey shawl. Hence, the name Reykjavik. Smoke bay.

The yarn is thin, grey 100% wool. And the small frill at the bottom.

This is a thin and light shawl, but the wool makes it very warm and nice. Suitable for a chilly October's day. Or November's day, for that matter.

The blogs I like: C Sathal

This French design blogger that my daughter told me about is just delicious! I look at this humonguous half granny square shawl and I just want to copy it. But with shredded fabric. Thin shreds. I think I'll go for it.

Ce blogueuse Française, que ma fille m'a montrée,  est complètement super bon! J'admire ce châle half granny square énorme et je voudrais le copier. Peut-être avec tissu râpé, je pense. Des lambeaux très minces. Je crois que je vais le tenter. (Pardonnez-moi mon Français.)

Winter white

One large but very light and soft winter white knitted shawl, with a frill at the bottom.

Close-up on the lace pattern and the frill ending. I came up with the pattern myself, and I call it Reykjavik, after the first shawl with this pattern that you will get to see here tomorrow.

It is large. But thin enough to wrap around your neck, if you like.

PS. The shawl was not this thin and nice at first when I knitted it, see the picture here where it looks more like a sweater. But by washing it and ironing it the lace pattern emerged.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow. The sun'll come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom collar that tomorrow there'll be sun!

And if not, there will at least be more shawls here tomorrow. Maybe the grey one, Reykjavik, the winter white one, the large pinapple shawl. We will see.

Correct

In English the word correct may be interpreted both as a verb (to correct something) and an adjective (that's correct). I have been redoing the edge of this shawl over and over again. I want it to be just right. Correct.

But it is not until I actually see how a new edge looks like with the body of the shawl that I realise that it is not the optimal one. So I have to redo it. Correct. Again.

Two more shawls for the girls

As I've said before, I will be selling scarves to sponsor the girls F98/99 football team at Kållered's Sports Club (KSK). The Red gooseberry and the Red currants scarves will also be sold. Keep reading the blog. More information about the sale later.
