17.mai champagne breakfast +Sonnet progress

Thought I'd post some pics from my 17th of May celebration! My flatmate+I had friends over for champagne breakfast, and then went downtown to see +join the parade. The weather wasn't the best... I hadn't bothered to bring my bunad this year (it weighs a ton and takes up too much space in my already bursting wardrobe), so I just wore a pretty summer dress. Good thing I have so many knitted shawls to keep me warm :-)Just managed to get a few pics as I ran out of batteries (as usual -I'm a terrible photographer...), but it will give you the general impression. Apologize for the bad quality...





The Sonnet is coming along nicely. I've even tried some short-row shaping at the waist -hope it turns out ok. Looks like it'll be a bit long, but hopefully that will straighten out when blocking.

No knitting at the moment...

Sigh. I'm just focusing on my exams at the moment, so no time for knitting. Hopefully, I'll both have more time and money for new projects in three weeks' time. Still need to get yarn for the Sonnet sweater for my KAL, thinking of using an alpaca/silk blend for a sweater that's not as warm as wool, but still wearable for most seasons. Also plan on making something for my friend's five year old daughter as a surprise. Oh, and a nice tank top for summer for myself...and, and, and... So many ideas, so little time!

To be assembled

All the parts for the children's colour block cardigan are now done. This must be the quickest project ever! But really fun to make. It knitted up so fast, i just couldn't stop once I got the hang of it! Planning on making another one for my friend's daughter, who's five. Other projects to start are the Kitty Pi for the knitalong, and go look for yarn for the Sonnet jacket for myself (another knitalong project). Wonder how I'll ever find the time to study for my exam with so much knitting to do...
