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 😉

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 😉

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!

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’
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…
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…
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:
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.
