Something warm while travelling

I am travelling a bit back and forth between Nigeria and Norway, and when I am in Norway I am not necessary in my hometown and my home. So a couple of times I have been so cold, particular on the feets. So last time I was in Trondheim I bought a ready-to-knit set at the airport and knitted me slippers that travel easy.

Warm, woollen slippers that do not take up a lot of space in the suitcase. And they fit relatively well on the feet, so I am happy.

Sofie's set is complete

There were a lot of work, but not to difficult, to make the skirt. As long as I payed attention everything went well. But several time I had knitted to long before changing pattern, and had to re do it again. But the girl is happy. She likes the set, and it is good for her in this climate.

Sofie's new top

When we were in Denmark this summer I asked Sofie if there were anything she needed or wanted that I could knit to her. She joined me to a shop and looked through many recipes before she found a skirt and a top that she liked. I took a look at the pattern and said to her that sure, I could knit this for her. She wanted to choose the colours, claiming that I always chose so boring colours.

So a sharp yellow top is so far the result, and now I have started on the skirt.

Baby sweater with heart.

When I was in London visiting my daughter I went to John Lewis on Oxford street. I found a booklet by Debbie Bliss with lovely recioes for babyclothes. So I bought some baby casmerino yarn and knitted this white sweater for my niece.

Hope she will like it.

Next project is to use the leftover yarn.

Knit-a-long London

I went to London to visit my daughter. Saturday we took a long walk along the south side of the Thames and ended up in a spot where a lot of activities were going on. Some were giving a concert, some were showing their rabbits and guneapig to the young children, some were playing with loads of vegetable creating different vegetable creatures. And in the corner were I Knit London and the great British Sheep
I knitted a square and so did my daughter Rigmor.

Vest and socks for baby

I started to knit this wollen baby vestcoat to try out some methods I had never used to make the structure. When it was done my niece informed me that she was expecting a babygirl. Then I added the little bunny rabbit.

So together with a white body I think this will make a nice baby outfit.

Since the baby is due in the fall, and the winters around here can cold, I made some baby socks to go with the outfit.

So, Is this girliesh enough?

Baby socks

Finishing off my own socks there were some leftover yarn, and the quality is so nice I did not want to trow it away.

As I have a niece expecting a baby in the fall, I thought that these colours could fit a little boy or girl. Well they were quick to make, just 40 stiches around.
