Granhammar

Today we drove to Gårdsmejeri Ostbiten and Ateljé Norrgården i Granhammar outside Örebro. It's a wonderful place, both if you love yarn and cheese, but also if you love  crafts in general. But you can just go there and thake a coffee break.

No yarn shopping this time but I bought Jeaba colours, some cheese, a book and some other things.

Garage sale bargains

On Thursday we were at Pingstkyrkans garage sale. There I found these bargains:

Several embroderys complete with yarn. From 15: and up to 50:- which is very cheap for complete embroderys.

I also have started with a new pair of socks in sock yarn leftovers. The pattern is from Drops design. Irish dream:

Hyden WA

It has been a long time since last update but I'm still alive. 

I've been a month i Australia (Hyden WA), visiting my daughter and grandchilds. It was wonderful to be there but now I'm home in the swedish summer again. Here are some photos from this month, both knitting related and non knitting related:

Soon it's time

Only 1 and half week left before I leave. But first we will have to kick out some students from school:-)

That we will do on 6th of June, Swedens national day. 

On sunday 9th its time for WWKIP day.In Eskilstuna we will be at Rademachersmedjorna. In case of rain we will take it inside the café. Welcome and join the fun:-)

Baby things for friend

I've knitted some baby things for a friend :

Everything is knitted in Schachenmayer Nomotta Baby Wool

Finished and given away

I've finished some things  since last post. First of all is the baby sweater and a pair of baby socks and a baby cap for a friend:

Sweater pattern: my own
Socks: Better-Than-Booties Baby Socks by Ann Budd
Cap: Norwegian Sweet Baby cap by Gro
Yarn: Schachenmayr nomotta Baby Wool

I also knitted socks for her two other boys:
H got these socks knitted with left overs:

And W got these socks. I found the skull pattern here and inserted it in the socks:

And I a.lso have knitted a pair of socks for the March challenge in the SKA group on Ravelry:

Pattern: Skew
Needles: 2mm
Yarn: Schoppel-Wolle Vintage Jeans Ball

Still in the sock swamp:-)

I'm still in the sock swamp, but at least I've knitted something else then socks to.
This time I have a cap for our grandchild to show you:

Pattern: None, just improvised
Yarn: Drops Fabel
Needles: 2.5mm

And from the leftovers from this cap and some other leftovers I also knitted her a pair of socks:

Pattern: Just Spring. I didn't knit the ruffles and picot bind off. And I also skipped the beads as I wanted the socks to be machine washable.
Yarn: as I said many leftovers
Needles: 2.5mm

And a pair of Socks for the February Challenge in the SKA group on Ravlery:

Pattern: Dreher socks
Yarn: Drops Fabel
Needles: 2mm

And last of all the challenge i the Sweduch group on Ravelry:

Pattern: Hat heel socks
Yarn: Many leftovers
Needles: 2.mm
Notions: Interesting way to knit socks as you start with the heel, but I don't think I will do it again.

And at last I've sewn in all threads on the Tindra gloves. So here they are:

Pattern: Tindra
Yarn: Sandnes Garn Strömpegarn plus some leftovers
Needles: 2mm

And I also have bought two new books:
Sock knitting, master class, a book I've been looking atfor a long time.The second book is Medieval-Inspired Knits, also a book I've been wanting to have for a long time.
