Knitting in the garden

This mug cozy…

… is making me so ridiculously happy !

I love every single detail:

- Love the Lett-lopi yarn. I hated to knit with, but crocheting it was a dream.

- Love the flashing orange. I was not sure about adding orange, but it’s finnally the best part of this cozy.

- Love the wooden button I bought in a flea market.

- Love the fact I don’t need coasters anymore

New cowl

New cowl, the sweatest thing ever, in Malabrigo yarn and raveled here…. I wanted good photos of it because I was writing a pattern, so I asked my boyfriend… He gave me this:

(Sorry, don’t want to be reconnized on those pictures). I really try to use them, but it was impossible. So I asked him a second photoshot.

So much better, isn’t it ?

First cowl(s) in 2012

I said that I would knit some other cowls in 2012, and I was thinking about knitting for me, as usually. But my first cowl was for my BFF.

Something warm and bulky, just as she wanted.

Her first cowl. I was happy she wanted something “with biiig stitches”, because it was so a very fast knit. Raveled here.

And as she was so excited discovering cowls and liked seaming, she decided to make me (and her, and her mother) some seamed cowls.

I don’t want to show the final result because ~~I don’t have any good picture~~ they are not as amazing as I was expecting. The fabric (cotton) was really a good choice, the seaming was really well done, but… they are curling. We chose a width of 20 cm, and it’s not width enough. Next one will be perfect.

An old farm turned into a restaurant.

What I’ve been knitting in 2011

Three cardigans. In 2011, I started knitting cardis I actually wear.

Four hats. Two of them were gifts, one was for practising stranded knit and became a pattern, and one was just for me.

Three cowls. Three time the same pattern, as I was discovering this amazing accessory. I’ve been discovering cowls in 2011, and I’ll definitly knit some others in 2012.

Two crocheted stuff. In 2011, I also decided to learn crochet.

And few other things…

The tea house

Just as we were having some tea at the tea house, the snow became to fall.

Christmas shopping in Finland

I’ll post some chosen pictures of my trip in Finland here.

This is a hat I made last winter, so one year ago. I bought the yarn because it was incredibly soft and made this hat, then put it in my cupboard and forgot it… until this winter, as I chose it for my trip.

Raveled here.
