Blue shawl

I've started my project for OktoberROSA: I'm making a blue crocheted shawl. The crocheting needle is one of my new ones, 10mm. :D

Last night...

I attended the Stich 'n' Bitch knitting café in Lillestrøm last night. It was very nice. I started knitting the second sock (see my earlier sock posts) and worked on a crocheting project. (I ended up undoing the whole crocheting project, though, it looked funny in a not positive way).

Not really hobby related, but I would like you all to visit my little forest to support saving the rain forest. One click per person per day give me one leaf to my forest. Once the number of 100 million visits to the site is reached, they will put back 10 000 € to the enivoronmental organisation Aquaverde. Thank you!

First flower

I have learnt how to crochet a flower! I used one of Garnstudioet's how-tos. This sort of flower is kind of small, but very cute.



The start of the flower...


This is how it looks like when it's done

Socks are fun!

The first sock is now done! I'm pleased with it - after all, it's my very first knitted sock (that I've made myself, that is). I used less than 50g yarn making this sock, and since the yarn was inexpensive, it means I'll have nice, warm inexpensive socks come winter. I think I'll need to make even more socks. It's fun!

Tomorrow I will be attended a knitting meetup thingy in Lillestrøm. I will go there with Kattepus. I think I'll bring more than one project, in case I get tired of one. But definutely the sock project.

Maybe I should knit socks for oktoberROSA too? I have enough yarn to make a pair...

Secret friend...

The gift from my secret friend over at Hobbyboden arrived today! :D Lots and lots of goodies!



Yarn and scrap booking materials!

Photoshoots in August

I have had three photoshoots using models in August. I still haven't gotten around to edit all the photos. I haven't even uploaded the last shoot's photos to my PC.

The model I worked with the second time was vey easy to work with. I managed to take over 200 photos, and there were quite a few good ones. Still working on them, actually.

Here's my favourite from the second shoot:

I'm a Harry Potter fan...

I love the books about Harry Potter, end recently read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Today I found out there's actually a book about knitting inspired by Harry Potter. Now, for me, that's a must have, so I just ordered it from Play.com! It's called Charmed Knits: Projects for Fans of Harry Potter and written by Alison Hansel. I'm very much looking forward to get this book in my hands and start new, exciting projects. I'm a Rawenclaw, and really want Rawenclaw related items. And other stuff. I have a feeling this might give me some ideas about gifts. Yay!

I feel all bouncy now. ;)
