Black arm warmers in alpakka, pt. 1

I have started a new knitting project: Black arm warmers in alpakka yarn. It's so soft! My flat mate Kattepus is helping me lots and lots! :D This is the most complicated pattern I have knitted in my life, and it feels good that it seems to turn out nice. ;)



The purpleish ones, marked as number 3, are the ones I'm knittng.


The start of the project.


OK, I wasn't exactly planning on decorating the plants with yarn...


Hm... This is actually looking like it's going to turn into something!


And this is as far as I've gotten so far.


I haven't done any knitting since last night, though (which isn't long ago at all). I needed to do something else from what my thoughts have been occupied with lately.

But I couldn't have done t without the help from Kattepus. Really! So big thank your to her!

Inheritance

When my mum came over to help me clean the old flat I was moving from, she brought some stuff after my grandmum. My wonderful grandmum died in 1999, my granddad in April.





Among the stuff were some old knitting patterns. I really loved the one to the far right, it even included a "knitting school"!





Not all of the yarn were of use... I threw away some stuff that were just a mess.





The grey yarn is acrylic, so it is to be given away to a knitting project at the public library. Thank you, Kattepus, for the heads up!





"New" knitting needles FTW!
