Lifeline when using Addi Lace needles

Can you see it? I actually use tape to attach the lifeline. Works better with, not as sticky, kids tape (normally with illustrations). It is a bit tricky, but it's better than not using a lifeline at all. But, the centre is a quite easy knit actually, but slow :-) so the only error made so far (detected one at least) was when I lost a couple of stitches and had to frog 4 rows. Rrrip-it-rrrip-it-rrrip-it. Funny, Swedes version of that sound is something like [koa:ck-koa:ck] which more or less resembles a duck.

Queen Susan, centre progress

About 60 more rows until my eight pattern repeats are done. Slow progress, I have been working days, nights and weekends lately. The centre is quite big. I wonder what the shawl would look like with the frame and edging. Maybe it will be more than 4 square metres... I am considering just knitting an edging around and leave it.

More ice cream

More ice cream from the Ravelry free pattern "Scooped". This time a couple of soft servings in waffer cones.

Award!

Hey, I got an award! Thank you Darlings!

...there are also tasks attached to the reward. Send the reward to XXX bloggers and publish the 10th picture you uploaded to your blog.

I want to award my friend Maria. She has a lovely blog and a beautiful garden and a beautiful view and I always have a place to stay when the hotels are full booked :-) Thxs!
...and here it is, again :-), my 10th picture: Lady slippers (what did I think of when I wrote that? An orchid I suppose!)

Purple rain continues

Centre is half way done and I love it!

Ice cream, anyone?

Another toy for my daughter (actually knitted in Stickarboden, first item). It's a free Ravelry pattern called Scooped. It is supposed to be a waffer cone with two scoops of ice cream. Well, kids have no problem seeing that's an ice cream so if you can't see the resemblance you have probably left childhood for good (poor thing).

Moving in, The Office

Today, the feast of the Ascension day I am starting to move into my office. Yesterday the electrician electrified the inner room. He made such an amazing job with parts autenthic to the early days.



After cleaning the place up, my daughter and I spent hours of knitting and sketching. And for the first time in two weeks I could surf on the internet with my BlackBerry...! I was really angry with my service provider yesterday and sacked them :-)
