Workshop at Hantverksmagasinet

I have had such a fun day! The workshop was a little success I think. Probably 50 people came to see us.

Workshop and lottery

On saturday 30/ 1 and 6/2 we are going to have a workshop at Hantverksmagasinet. There will be items to be inspired by, a lottery and above all we'll be knitting live. Don't miss it! And don't miss the lottery. There'll be a very nice kit sponsored by karmagarn.se. Thank's a lot!

Rosebud triangle

For an upcoming event, the lace knitting course (a kindered spirit and I hopefully will give this spring) this pattern of a rosebud triangle with matching edging was made. I have to try to knit from the pattern I have prepared myself which is quite a challenge :-). In a couple of days I'll have a soft nice scarf (neckerchief?) made from the 2/28nm 75% merino 25% cashmere yarn Stäkets Hantverk supplies. Nice halo!

Now, I hope there'll be lots of knitters attending the course.

I see I have to change yarns! It is too fragile for beginners. So, I have ordered Grignasco MerinoSilk from karmagarn.se. Also a 2/28 nm lace weight. It's strong and suuuper quality. It won't have the cashmere halo though.

Viften/The Fan by Marianne Isager

Oh no!!! it is too small! even if I swatched and kept the gauge... What on earth? I have to start all over again... But it wasn't too much effort anyway :-). Fun knitting though!

Coming up soon: Cardigan Viften/The Fan by Marianne Isager

I am knitting it in a stashed Scotish lambswool I've had for ages. I think I'll make a narrower waist of the back part by making evenly distributed decreases after about 15cm and increase the same amount after 20cm. We'll see.

Skyline Mittens

The 36x36 mitten pattern by Jessica Tromp in the Netherlands. Knitted in black and light pink Röros Lammeullgarn, 250m/50g. I still have only one :-) I prefer knitting lace. One more to go... I shortened the thumb by three rows, you can see the windows have 4 by 4 stitches. I could, though have increased the width by 2-3 stitches, it became just a little too narrow for me in this yarn.
