Frankenpants

These are the most beautiful frankenpants I have ever seen! They are great inspiration now that I am knitting a pair of Long Johns. (Långkalsonger)

Solitude knitting

Sometimes it is just one of those days.

Prom Dress

And another yarn update on what I spun last week. 

This is Prom Dress, Olive Tree, My Little Pony and September Sky. 

I just love making up the names for the yarns. :)

Christmas Market!

I have been invited to sell my yarns and some related things on "Jungfrusunds Julmarknad"! It is a local Christmas market here on the islands, apparently I am now an islander. :)

Please come and have a look at local products (the local honey is especially recommended, and the hand spun yarn of course) and feel Christmasy. If you live south of Stockholm you can take the car ferry over the water, a lovely ride. And if you live north of Stockholm you can visit Drottningholms Christmas market on the way back. 

Jungfrusunds Julmarknad, den 4 och 5 december. Welcome everyone!

Flowers

From the crazy leftover yarn I made these little flower brooches. It is a simple spiral but it folds into itself beautifully. And there is always the element of surprise when knitting them, because I don't know what colour the yarn will turn into next. 

Yarnie

If you are a member of Ravelry, and have bought one of my yarns, you can now link it to the official FridaMadeIt page! I am a yarnie!

Pssst... maye you should buy some yarn just to be able to link to the page, blink blink. ;)

Yarns

An update on what I have been spinning. 

This is Friday Night Cocktail, Ballet Slippers (sold) and Ice Cream Bar.

Snow?

Mhm, ok, this is what I woke up to this morning. It was a magical atmosphere, but…

Snow already, was that really necessary? And lots of it too. And it is still lying around, I can tell you, it is not so magical any more. 

Lucky I finished the hats.

THE Hat

This hat though, compared to the ear flap one, is glorious! It turned out great! Lovely colour, perfect fit, and it is really comfortable. I like it, this is my hat for the winter. The pattern is the Sock Head Hat.

Ear Flap Hat

My ears get really relly cold in the winter, so the obvious solution is an ear flap hat. Tada! Well, it turned out a bit to small, and it looks like some colourful baby helmet. The yarn is glorious though, it is the one I got in the tea and yarn swap I was in recently. I think I have to make a new hat.
