Reading blogs right before Christmas was a liberating experience: I found out I wasn’t the only one who was going to knit over the holidays. And knit I did! WordPress is not wanting me to upload any new pictures, so all I’ve got to show for my knitting are the pictures of this Airy scarf. [...]

Christmas thoughts
Posted in FO, cross stitch on December 24, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Granted, I’m one of those people who becomes extremely edgy if something unexpected happens and my carefully thought-out plans are shot to hell. I can’t even begin to count how many times that’s happened this month. It all culminated yesterday and it was better for all parties to just leave me in the kitchen with [...]
Icarus shawl

Mom saw my Ene’s scarf a few months ago and – albeit she said it in between the lines – I knew she wanted something similar for herself. So here’s what I made her for Christmas, Icarus. It’s made of Wetterhoff’s Silvia- yarn (70% wool, 30& silk), of which I only had two skeins and [...]

Presents. Not all of them though. I need to keep my own noodle warm as well. One more present to go, then I’m done.
Ylemmän kuvan kukaton ja alemman kuvan Pipo on Pop- ohjeella tehdyt jäävät tänne ja ovat itse asiassa jo olleet käytössä varmaan kuukauden. Loput lähtivät lahjaksi. Vielä yksi lahja puuttuu. Mietin Calorimetryä [...]

It’s finished and ready to be wrapped up: my first ever finished cross stitch project. I had a more ambitious project in mind for the sampler, but then I figured I would never finish it before Christmas and ended up stitching these bunnies from the book Beautiful world of Cross stitch. I used 2 strands [...]
Hairpin lace et al.

The One skein scarf from Happy (Holiday) Hooker is turning out to be a lifesaver. I think this one was my 4th- a quick to make no-brainer. Having said that, let’s turn to hairpin lace. I have to constantly keep my eye on the hook as I have to release the chain everytime I turn [...]
Simply Marilyn
Posted in FO, OuNe, knitting on December 7, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Horseshoes are supposed to bring good luck aren’t they? Well, it seems sometimes they don’t. Then you just lay low for a month (or two) and wait for the bad luck to blow over. Here’s my reason for laying low, Simply Marilyn with the horseshoe cables. A lovely, simple pattern to knit. The collar doesn’t [...]
