Use the fluff...

And some of my stash. In fact there is some (December) addition to my stash since the last picture of it, but I don't want to talk about that now ;-). I am using that stash, far more important.
From Riggwelter I got some yarn in the caffeine addicts swap. The caffeine (coffee) is long gone (delicious) and half of the yarn is knit into a dolls outfit.

Modelling here is Dory's dolly, the clothes are meant for Alora's doll. The yarn used is Rowan Holiday, one ball for the top and one for the pants. No scrap yarn left. The edgings are done with that fluffy how-is-it-called plastic yarn that Dory loves so much.

And I made some dish cloths using the Bernat Handicrafter cotton.



I'm pretty content with this cotton, it is a nice cotton to knit.

As well finished some more serious knitting.

Mini Swap

Het sneeuwt... alweer. Echt zo'n dag om binnen te blijven. Dan... verrassing! Postbode aan de deur met een pakketje voor mij! Natuurlijk meteen aan de slag gegaan om te neuzen wat er in zat, kan ook moeilijk anders met D. die dan weer erg nieuwsgierig is. Het begin was al veelbelovend: Een lief kaartje erbij van mijn geheime swapmaatje die schreef al vaker iets voor me samen te hebben gesteld en dat het niet mee was gevallen weer iets nieuws te verzinnen... Iets dat ik heel goed begrijp. Vervolgens zijn we gaan uitpakken, altijd handig met een paar extra handen erbij. En dit is het resultaat: Mooi!!! Hier de foto's van dichtbij om een en ander te verduidelijken. Een zeer persoonlijke rolcentimeter (is dit wel een Nederlands woord?), prachtig paars en voorzien van naam. Ook een omslag voor een opschrijfboekje en een pen, altijd handig. Helemaal zelf gevilt (denk ik) en op maat gemaakt. Prachtig werk, in het echt zoveel mooier dan op de foto's. Hier een opname van de ...

Yarn contest

Every once in a while I enter my name in a yarn contest at someones blog. Not that I ever did win something :-). But I like the idea and that is why I decided to do a small contest on this blog. Rules are simple, you have only to enter your name and tell me your favourite colourway on my Rainbow blog. That will help me to determine what colourway(s) I should dye more often. What you could win is Riverside , a skein of 75% Blue Faced Leicester/ 25% nylon sock yarn. Superwash treated, hard wearing and non felting. The yarn has a greatly soft feel and is hand painted. The skein is approximately 100 grams (3.5 oz) and 350 meter (383 yard). Fingering weight, recommended needle size is 2.5 mm. With the skein a set of 4 stitch markers, hand crafted by Dory and me. I will close the contest by next Monday, 15-10-2007 at 9 pm (UK time). The name of the winner will be randomly selected by my 3 year old daughter, who cannot read. You are all welcome to join this contest. To win the yarn will have...

How Charity Wool became a Baby Cardigan

Image
A while ago I bought some terrific yarn in one of those st Luke's Hospice shops for a nice price. Soft enough, superwash, 20% lambs/ 80% merino. Only the colour, sage, was not to my liking. After the dyebath it looked like this Now, a few months later, I've knitted 3 skeins into this pretty cardigan, better known as Helena Really a pleasure to knit. Now it is packed and tomorrow it will be in the post to this precious baby girl.
