Stille....

Her har det visst vært stille i det sist... Det skjer mye for tida, f.eks. har jeg begynt i full jobb og jeg holder på å planlegge huskjøp/bygging! I tillegg strikker jeg jo litt om kveldene :) Det blir en fisk nå og da (har nå ramme rundt + noen få inni ramma), det ble en caliometry her en kveld og jeg har et par sokker på pinnene... Ellers venter jeg på septembermønsteret i sokker2007!

I know it's quiet here, but since I started my job I've had more than enough to do... I'm also going to buy/build a house, so there's lots of stuff happening! I do get some knitting done, I'm knitting on my fish-blanket, I've knit a caliometry and I've got a pair of socks on the needles

Mystery Stole 3 - back on popular demand ;)

Since people really seem to want to see the MS3 on I took a few (bad) pictures in the hallway mirror... It' raining like crazy here tonight so no outdoor or nice and light shots, sorry...


Here it's just hanging across my back :)


And here it's draped across and secured with a pin, I have a shawlneedle I will use if I am to wear it like this!

Mystery Stole 3

Here's some preblocking and blocking photos of my mystery stole... I tried taking some finnished-photos, but they didn't come out as I wanted them to, too bad light conditions.

Hemmelig venn August (HB)

Jeg fikk en flott pakke fra Porsgrunn her i uka som gikk... Noe av garnet er bare helt nydelig å klappe på *smelt* Sitter her og koser meg og klapper litt på det av og til, lurer på hva dette skal bli! Og se så søøøøøøte maskemarkører da!

Mystery Stole 3 - Progress

This is how my mystery stole looks after clue 6. It's enjoying a moment of sunshine, then it started raining again.



I'm knitting on 3,5mm needles with brown alpacca.

Picovoli

Jeg strikket Picovoli, et mønster av Grumperina. Min er strikket i Mandarin Naturell og et annet garn i Mandarin "serien". Jeg brukte nesten 4 nøster (hadde nok til en rille til nede men droppe det). Denne gikk raskt å strikke, jeg brukte hele 4 dager på strikkingen og så 2 dager på å feste trådene, nå skal den bare en runde i vask før bruk :) Jeg vurderer en til i litt lengre versjon i ull, må vel være fin som vest ?



I've knit Picovoli by Grumperina. I knit this in 4 days, and used 4x50gram of Mandarin yarn from Sandnesgarn. I added ten rows of gartherstitch to keep it from rolling. Now I just need to get it washed so I can wear it! I'm also thinking of knitting one in wool for the winter!

Sockapalooza4 - I got my socks! :)

I was totally spoiled by Knitted Bear in Sockapalooza4.


Socks, magazine and chocolate, jummy!!!!The little pink bag of chocolate is totally gone now :P


The socks...



are really kneehighs! I just love them!!!!!

Can't wait to use these when it gets colder. At the moment, in 20C or more, it's a bit too hot!

Mystery Stole 3

Result after clue 5, today we got clue 6 so I'll be knitting on...

Sokker 2007 - restegarnsokker

Her er resultatet fra restegarn-utfordringen i Sokker 2007. Jeg har strikket sidelengssokker for første gang, kanskje også siste... Skal ihvertfall ikke strikke akkurat dette mønsteret igjen, jeg likte verken hælen eller tåa :( Men ellers helt ok sokker, blir til bruk i støvler til høsten tenker jeg...

Sideways socks in Sokker 2007, knitted in lots of leftover yarn. I didn't like these, neither the heel or the toe suited me, but I'm sure they'll be ok to use in the rain this fall

What I'm knitting

Jeg skriver kun på engelsk nå når jeg har dårlig tid, jeg regner med at dere norske lesere også forstår :)


My Mystery Stole 3, finnished Clue 4 last night and now I'm waiting for Clue 5 and the revealing of the theme! Can hardly wait, it's a shame I don't have time to sit here and wait for it!!!

I'm knitting in Alpacca in a deep chocolate brown, jummy!


What's this??????

It will hopefully be a pair of socks when I'm finnished. The challenge this month in Sokker2007 is to knit socks of your own design in leftover yarn... I just realised I mostly have dark sockyarn, and when I started with light stripes this might be interesting... Will hunt for more lightcolored yarn tomorrow!


As you can see I've started putting the fish-blanket together. I need a few more white fish to make the border in the other end... then I have to figure out what kind of pattern I can make with all my leftover yarn... I'm not buying any new yarn for this blanket!

For my Sockapalooza4-partner

Downstream partner: Your socks are on their way, I spent 40 minutes teaching the newbie at the postaloffice how to put on the correct number of stamps, how to do the math (7+7=15 ????? hello... I'm a mathteacher!!!!) and to find the little customs notice that has to go on overseas mail!

Upstream partner: Yes, my adress is correct :) I just checked as I marked my socks as sent!

For all the lurkers out there... Please come back tomorrow for a new post with photos of what I'm up to! I wanted to post tonight, but my camera needed recharging!
