Charity scarf pile is growing!

Scarves

My charity knits are coming along slowly, but coming along anyway!

 

Here are two scarves I knit some time back - using up stash and looking forward to giving them to someone in need.

 

The left one is made with local sock yarn from Wollkontor Erlangen, some Finnish wool and an old yarn called Tiffany. It was knit in fisherman's rib with 4 mm needles, and it's about 1,70 long. I think it used about 200 grams of yarn!

Cute Coraline

Coraline

I'm so happy to finally be able to show you my Coraline cardigan, which I have been working on for a good while now, and which waited for a long time in my shelf before I got the right buttons for it (and actually sewed them on!). But here it is now - and I love it!

 

The pattern is Coraline by Ysolda. I did make quite a lot of modifications, read on for more.

Rusty Alpaca Shawl and One With Hempathy

Shawl FOs

Behold, an FO! I haven't been knitting very much lately due to a change of role in my "real job", which requires a lot of time and learning, plus a general, temporary loss of interest in knitting (terrible, I know!)

 

That seems to be coming to an end soon though. Well, the job stress will last for a while, but the lust for knitting part is getting better. That can be seen in these two shawl FOs as well.

FO: Striped Matrix basket

Striped basket

A while back I made a lot of baskets for the home - one of the green ones now holds (some of) my knitting, the other is used for Wii gear, and a few small ones I never blogged about are being used by my DH. These baskets have come in so handy, I decided to make one more for my "stuff". This is what I created.

Hats, hats, hats - Part 1

Snapddragon Tam

I've been making a lot of hats lately! I'd like to share them with you - here are the first two.

 

The first gorgeous tam is for my mother-in-law, who's had it a bit rough with her health and has had some of her hair removed recently. To cover and keep warm the bald spots she wished for some knitted hats. I decided to make a few for her to choose from - this is my first try.

Shawl FO: Very soft Clothilde

Clothilde

My shawl love is not showing any signs of dying, and that's just fine. As long as I like making them and find people who want to wear them (although I do keep most myself...) I'll keep making them. They're so quick! They're so pretty! There's interesting lace! They're made out of sock yarn but aren't tiny gauge! What's not to love. This is my latest FO, the Clothilde (Rav pattern link) shawl.
