I always miss WIP Wednesdays, so here's my WIP Friday instead!
First my Coraline cardigan, which has actually progressed quite a lot since this photo. It just needs buttons now!
I'm making it with Novita Julia yarn, which is pretty much my staple yarn when it comes to bigger pieces of clothing - it's partly wool, partly acrylic and wears nicely.
I wanted to let you know that I will be offline for about two weeks. I will be making an old dream true instead! I'll tell you more afterwards!
That means there will be no new content in the blog, nor will I approve any comments, nor be active on Twitter or Facebook.
Wish me luck and see you in a couple of weeks!
As you may have guessed, my two weeks of "making a dream come true" was a trip - to Cuba!
I've been hoping to travel there since I was 15, and this year a lady in my knitting group finally talked the sense in me to indeed make this dream come true - it's not that travelling to Cuba is impossible, it's just that I always taught it would be very expensive.
This month the Designer of the Month interview is a bit late, due to my long stay in Cuba. But it's still March, isn't it!
This month I'm presenting you a designer whose work I find innovative and fun: Allyson Dykhuizen.
Happy Knitting and Crochet Blog Week 2011!
Of course, it has to be a busy busy week at work, but I will certainly try to participate as much as I can - I don't want to miss all the fun!
Today's topic for the Knitting and Crochet Blog Week (Day 2 - 2kcbwday2)was "Skill and 1UP". The description was as follows:
"Look back over your last year of projects and compare where you are in terms of skill and knowledge of your craft to this time last year. Have you learned any new skills or forms of knitting/crochet? (...) Have you recently put a foot in the tiled world of entrelac? Had you even picked up a pair of needles or crochet hook this time last year?"
