Hoppsan, Kerstin!

Gifted designer Kristin Erséus offers lovely earrings in the shape of small glass balls filled with flowers in her web shop. Do not forget to look at her beautiful trays!

My only question: Where's the blog?

Cup shawl - röda krusbär

Started a knitted/crocheted shawl yesterday during Bonum Football Cup. ( Kållered Sport Klubb girls 1998 team won the bronze, thank you very much!) Sorry about the bad photos. My iPhone does not have the best camera...


The yarn is Garnstudios Silke-Tweed, 52% silk and 48% lambs wool. Lovely and very soft.


The core is knitted with crocheted lace trimmings (is that the right word?).

Leaf knitting

Bought (ok, ok, I shouldn't have) some yellow wool in Hässleholm. Plans are that I knit a flimsy whimsy leafy scarf.



I will post the chart later, when I see that it really works out as I planned.

PS. Funny. The pictures are taken with my iPhone 3G a the same location and practically at the same time. The colouring is most true in the upmost picture.

Bag

While in Canada some time ago I stumbled upon some large balls of cotton yarn. I know, I know. I wasn't supposed to buy any new yarn but this was 400 g of thick soft cotton for only CAD 6. A bargain.

Here's one of the things that has come out of it.



It's not finished, but I figured it was better to post a blog about the work in progress, after this long dry patch rather than wait for it to be completed.

Helping hands

In my aim to empty my stash of yarn dear sister and dear niece have taken to crocheting some beautiful shawls for themselves. Helping hands are always appreciated.



Dear niece chose a smaller version. Maybe due to lack of material in the right colours. But this size is indeed more handy and may be used as a scarf around the neck.



Dear sis has not yet finished her beautiful shawl in the most beautiful aquarelle nuances.
