Baby Heirloom Blanket

avarra — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 06:48:45 +0000

A few weeks ago I finished a baby blanket for J’s pre- elementary school teacher who got her first baby recently and I took the pattern from Lionbrand.

Here is a pic taken at half time:

Right now I am knitting lace socks for myself and looking for the right pattern for a shawl for KittyKat’s kindergartenteacher- you see, loads of work and far too less time

Cheers,

THIS is my couch!

Progress on knitting

avarra — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 07:30:29 +0000

Well, MY cardigan is already finished and was followed by a bolero (for myself too ). Then I knitted 2 pairs of socks for KittyKat and another jumper for J.

Currently I am doing a baby blanket featured on Lionbrand.Com (http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/90485.html?noImages=0).

Finally I got my “A Gathering of Lace” and am considering making the ‘Magickal Earth Shawl’ as my next bigger project…

Pics and patterns will follow soon

A new cardigan- for ME ;)

avarra — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 18:57:25 +0000

Yes, currently I am knitting a cardigan for me, but I am stuck with the first sleeve right now- due to timetable troubles

Since I am constantly losing weight for the last few months (hooray!) I fear I will be shrunk out of it when I have finally finished it. But nevertheless here is the link where I found it- and besides- my sis’ got her own cardigan already finished *envy*.

Well- I looked for about 20 minutes, but seem not be able to find a working link as soon as I find it, I will post it, I promise!

Time and knitting movesw on

Well, it seems I gave up on knitting, but it only SEEMS so I know I was a bit lazy on keeping up with blogging- due to some stress and chaos at work, but today I have the time to give a short update:

After I finished J’s sweater I started a shawl (Snowflakes and blossoms) inspired by the Snowflakes and frostflowers’ shawl in “Shawls on the go” by Vogue Knitting. And after that I made a “Bumblebee” scarf for J, my first pair of socks for my mom and a lacy pair of socks for KittyKat and a lovely vest from Garnstudio.com for KittyKat.

Right now I am knitting a “Bumblebee” hat for Jules and I am considering doing a lacy cardigan for myself for a change. Hopefully I’ll be able to pull this project through. Would be the first item for myself in about 3 years

I promise I’ll try to keep you updated more often from now on

Cheers,

Ava’

Weasly Sweater

avarra — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 17:18:36 +0000

Finally I made it!!!! HOORAY! It only took me a year and countless unravel sessions to complete it, but what younts is that I finally finished it!

Pics will follow…

Slowly…

Yes, the sweater is progressing only slowly… Well, I finished front and back of it and one sleeve is almost done, but I really thought I would get it done more quickly… But hey, since when do things go the way you think they’ll go? Sometimes I wonder who wrote the script to my life…

Hopefully I’ll get the sweater done within the next few weeks. And then I am starting a cardigan for KittyKat, a lace cardigan…

Weasly Sweater Inspired Jumper 3rd Try

avarra — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:16:17 +0000

As the title indicates I started my Weasly Sweater for Jules for the 3rd time and hopefully this time it will work out. Here are the first 2 pics of it:

Wrist Warmers inspired by Crystal Lake

avarra — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:56:40 +0000

I just finished the shawl for my mother in law and since I had a lot of wool left, I decided to give wristwarmers a try. I love the pattern of the Crystal Lake Shawl and so- since I am really good in alternating given pattern – I addapted it to wrist warmers

I cast on 51 sts and did a repetition of 6 sets, then I put 17 sts on a holder for the thumb. I did a double repetition of the pattern to finish the hand and bound off loosely. Then I took the 17 sts for the thumb and picked up 4 extra sts, which I knitted only in knit sts. For the rest I used the pattern again. Finally I bound off again and wove in the ends.
