Blue scarf

I have started to use a knitting machine at Svithun Husflidslag. With punchcard. So here is the first scarf I made after having attended a course there.

Blue Alf yarn from Hifa.

The scarf hanging from the machine. 

  Worked to get these nice edges on the scarf.

And now- ready to use.

Single bed machine, Tuck stich. 

Cowl - a nice travelling project

I normally end up with minimum three knitting projects.
1) Sitting on the coach knitting, talking, watching TV, Being social--> not to complicated knitting
2) Please leave me alone- I am counting, trying to figure it out - knitting. --> learning a new technique knitting
3) travelling - easy to carry and transport

Going to Bornholm I had a pair of yellow gloves as travelling knitting. Knitting fingers on gloves with many needles are not the best travelling knitting, so I went to Garnkilden and bought two knitting kits from Hifa. Molly hat and a cowl. In nice red 100% Hifa wool.

Travelling on the plane--> knitting on the cowl
Travelling on the bus from Copenhagen to Ystad --> knitting on  the cowl
Travelling with the ferry, Ystad -Rønne --> Knitting on the mittens

Pants and socks, as well as fixing the shirt

 I had some "curling" issues with the T-shirt. I startet over again, this time with a number of thinner knitting needles, and rib knitting. No more curling-upwards. All I need is small brown buttons in the right brown colour.

Thin wool is nice even in the summer. May be- specifically in the Norwegian summer. So I made a simply straight up and down pair for the size 0-3 months. All I need is elastic band for the waist.

Socks for the coming little boy- to match the rest of the outfit. I chose to knit it in rib, so there is a chance that the socks will stay on to busy baby feet.
