Final One Skein SP package

Thank you so much, Magni,for the gorgeous package! Received this wonderful felted bag, a skein of 3-ply Rauma yarn, some beads AND candy! You really made my day! Now I jsut have to come up with something beautiful to make of the yarn -shouldn't be too difficult...

My first sock. Ever!

And I have to brag just a little...because it looks great! I've never attempted sock knitting before, but really wanted to make these lace ones from Knitty. And it was so easy! What fun pattern to knit! Ok, so they might not be totally perfect -I had some trouble picking up the stitches evenly along the edges, and I've dropped a couple of stitches, but with the lace pattern it's hardly visible. I'm visiting my aunt this weekend, and she's a really good knitter...can't wait to show her these! Oh, and I managed kitchener stitch too....I feel so clever right now...



It's knit in a silk/alpaca blend that is just incredibly soft, and the colour's lovely. The yarn does tend to split a little (almost like cotton) but otherwise it's very well behaved. Bit expensive, but I just had to have it :-)

Summer knitting

It's been ages since I've posted, but finally I have the time to leave a few words. Lately I've been working on the sleeves from One Skein, but I guess I'm doing something wrong...I've used a row counter to keep track, but somehow I keep ending up with different length sleeves. It's a complete mystery to me, as I was sure I got the row count correct, but no...Luckily, I've still got enough yarn to have another go. So I decided to make a super-easy project to relax with. Suprise -beaded wristwarmers -again :-) They make great presents though. Red baby wool and clear glass beads in a traditional Norwegian pattern. Also planning on making some in the broken-heart and skull patterns from S n'B. Other projects on the wist list include a pair of lace socks from the Knitty website. Pattern can be found here
