Where to start...

How do you get back into regular blogging?

Maybe it's simple, just start with an easy post - or an easy sweater like this:



My Good Evening version of Pickles Good Morning Sweater.



Uses one cone of Super Geelong, big needles and before you know it, you have a comfy graphic favorite.

Easy.

half a year

- and time to start blogging again.

Wednesday, November 02, 2011

so... what did you learn in school today?

well... where to begin.

First of all - I love it out there. I love the long bike ride through the city. I love being in beautiful buildings, learning from talented people (some younger than me - imagine!), having fun, working hard, drinking bad coffee...

uh - and taking a machine knitting class! Now, that was fun. And fast! I used a whole cone of Shetlandwool to experiment (thank you stash).

I ended up with a huge cowl in Kauni (took me about 20 minutes!), and a pair of wristwarmers, still neding to be sewn together. So, all those cones in the stash are in good use now. Pictures when there's light.

Speaking about my beloved stash: you want some? I've come to realize, I have no where left to hide my yarn, and not enough time to knit it all.

So, I've listed quite a lot (and more to come) over here

September Dim




This is pure luxury - love it.



The pattern is Simmer Dim by Gudrun Johnston.

The yarn is Casbah in Smoke.

The result is luxurious and buttery soft.

Cheap indian bangle from Tiger.
Enemal earrings from my boyfriend (from a small shop on Ryesgade).
Brooch from H&M.


Necklace made from Christmas ornament from Thora Finnsdottir.


Brass star from Sackidet Road.
Plastic skull earrings from the boys department in H&M.
UncommonThread turned Holden.
Owl earrings, I was lucky to get from Amalthea - Sum of a Ditch (amazing work).


And my bracelet made from a bit of leftover Casbah. I've been wearing this for 2 weeks now, and it's starting to look a bit worn, I think I need a substitute in a yarn with less cashmere... (But I adore the smoke color of this particular yarn - and the softness!).

I also need to stop using my hand as a notepad. It's just so... handy...
