March hat

The hat for March is done. Actually, it has been for a while, but I haven't gotten around to take a photo of it until now. But here it is, all done.



The pattern is "Hand made hat" by Made with Hands. I've used alpacka yarn, and it's ever so soft. Used less than 50 grams of yarn. Quite pleased, it's a nice hat. :)

February hat 2008

My february hat is done! I found it easier to knit than the January one. This hat project is actually fun. I mean, it's such a challange for me. :) I like it a lot!

New month, new hat...

I'm currently working on the February hat of the hat knit along. I think I'm getting the hang of the pattern as well. It's Lake Park Hat by Marnie MacLean. I'm knitting it round. I'm pretty curious to how it'll turn out.

I finally managed to get my January hat done! I had a hard time as I managed to knit incorrectly so many times. I even managed to get a whole row of pattern incorrectly, but it was at the end, so I couldn't be bothered to knit back yet again to correct it.

The only thing that annoys me a bit is that I actually like the hat, but since I have such a small head, it's way too big. So, I guess I'll give it as a gift to someone at some point.

Gemma Beret on its way!

I know it seems like I never do anything according to this blog. The problem is, I forget to update. *laughs* I will try to get around to update about some stuff soon.

I'm currently knitting my first project using an Englsih pattern. I'm surprised about easy it is, as I thought it would be so hard to understand it. But with the help of a English to Norwegian dictionary online, as well as some clues from Kattepus (who's helpfull as always), it goes rather smoothly.

I'm knitting a Gemma Beret from Rowan. It doesn't go quickly, but I'm getting there. It's fun.

Armwarmers, scarf and hat in wool.

I have made my first ever knitted set! I knitted arm warmers, a scarf and a hat of wool. The colours are black and a sort of red orange.





I started making the arm warmers, as I knew the person they were intended for needed a pair to use when out photographing in the cold. I made a "hole" for the thumbs, which I think was a good idea.





The scarf was knitted while I was in London during the Christmas days. (I probably should write an entry about knitting in London, but that'll have to wait). Same yarn and method, more or less. I wanted it to be long enough to be properly worn. ;)





The hat was still the same yarn and all that jazz... I stated knitting it when I came home after work on Thursday, and ended up knitting the rest of it during the reading group meeting the very same day. It was all done before I went to bed, so I was able to hand it over yesterday. The other two items were handed over on New Year's Eve, the very same day the person I made it for had his birthday.

Yes, this set was a birthday gift. The hat came as a gift card, but as I just said: handed over yesterday. The birthday boy was very pleased and happy about the gift!
