Chocolate dipper

Oh, what a lovely chocolate luxury, expensive but glorious. You boil two decilitre of milk and then you dip your chocolate spoon in, take it out and lick it once in a while and stir until you have hot chocolate in your cup. Valrhona hot chocolate! Made by Chocolate Company.

Yarny Thursday

Not only are there a lot of new yarns in the shop, I have also got a new juicy batch of wool in glorious colours waiting to be spun.

Circular needle case

I made a swap with another etsy seller, yarn and some fiber for this lovely circular needle case. It has room for lots and lots of needles, a plastic zip pocket for knitting notions and other stuff, then folds neatly together and ties with a bow. Finally I have some order among my circulars, and circulars are my favourite so I like know where they are. Beautiful fabric both in and out, and expertly sewn. It is made by ZigZagStitches. 

And an orange

I got this beautiful hand crafted plate/bowl from Ola the husband for Christmas. It is quite big as you can see by the size of the orange. It sits in the middle of our kitchen table and is usually containing fruit. And a few days ago a silent kiwi explosion. I love unique beautiful objects.

It's Time...

Time to start growing little seeds for the spring and summer. I made a little greenhouse and put a lamp on a timer so the little ones will have lots of light. 

Grow, grow, grow!

There's a hole in my bucket....

... Dear Liza, dear Liza.

Well, no, there was a hole in my sweater. Annoying, I could not wash it because then it would all unravel. So, I crochet a flower, I am not that good at crocheting, knitting is my thing, and sewed it on. 

Yarny Thursday

I am not sorry I was blunt on Tuesday, I don't know why I feel the need to cushion everybody about how I feel. This is the reality, and a lot of things got cancelled, which is crappy, so that is how I felt.

Ok, feeling a bit better and ready to show you the latest Friday Studios Yarns:

Blue Blue Berries (Sold)

Todays post canceled due to panic attacks.

Finished!

Finally, I am finished with this sweater, it takes a lot of time to knit a whole sweater, and a lot of audio books, about seven to be precise. This is a Drops pattern, and I got the yarn from my mother in law, who knows I like colour, as a birthday present a few years ago, and it took me a while to find the right pattern. 

I like this one though, it is knitted in two pieces, in different directions, garter stitch, one starting at the sleeve and the other starting at the front hem. (Notice Cornelia's lovely artwork there in the background.)

Then everything was sewn together and a blue crochet edge was added. (And here you can notice the left over christmas star that no one has bothered to take down.)

It has a nice little collar and the pieces and sleeves came out surprisingly even.

The buttons were totally perfect and I had picked them up at the fabric store just because they were so irresistible, big and red, and for no other reason some time during the summer. They were found out now and aded. (This picture apart from a happy me, features our family's torture / relaxing area, the bed of nails, surprisingly comfortable and addictive. )

New labels

The new Friday Studios yarn labels are here! I am very pleased with them and the logo. Inside there is room to fill in the details of each yarn personally, and e-mail and addresses also of course and on the front is the logo. Oh, I feel so professional. ;)

This yarn in off to Canada tomorrow for a swap, I am getting a very pretty fabric case for my circular needles and other knitting notions in return. Finally there can be some order among my circular who are now living in circular chaos, which makes it very hard to find them and also to know which sizes I actually own. And since I am addicted to circulars I though an organisation action was due.
