Picking the little one up at hospital?

I have made a set for the little one. I bought three skeins of Filcolana Indicita Petrol from "God som ull".  That was plenty for the project of knitting the retro jacket from the book "Strikk til smårollinger" So I added a pair of retro pants. Still plenty of yarn.

I have always liked Lene Holme Samsø's little babyhar, and now I had the chance to knit that one. "Strikk til baby på pinne nummer 3"

And then a pair of socks.

Workshop at the pub

Stavanger Strikk og Drikk (Stavanger knit and drink) are meeting once a month in the best pub in Stavanger- The Cardinal.

We wanted to invite the Danish Knit Designer Lene Holme Samsøe for a visit and a workshop. Sunday, March 16th from 17:00 - 20:00 we had our first workshop at Cardinal. It went well.

Topic: Use of Leaf patterns to shape your knitting.

Sandnes Garn were kind enough to sponsor the yarn needed for a hat for each participant. So the result after the workshop: a brand new hat.

Knitted jacket for YR

Cotton jacket for little Yr.
After knitting a dress to Yr in lighter shade of purple, I decided to knit a darker jacket with the same pattern, form the same book. "Babystrik på pinde 3"- model Bella.

Easy and fun project.

 

 

Peace

I went to the Knitting festival at Fanø.
As usual, it was a hazzle to sign on to any workshop, but I was able to sign on to Lene Holme Samsø's workshop about knitting a Piece symbol.
At the workshop I was able to make one Fingerless glove. I used Thin wool from Geilsk.

There are only so many fingerless gloves a person needs, so when they where done I gave them to my brothers girlfriend. She can use them, she spends a lot of time outdoors with her horses.

Tunic or dress?

Lene Holme Samsøe has made this brilliand book with recipes for baby clothes - all are to be knitted with needles number 3. I totaaly fell for Bella baby and knitted the Tunic. But it was not exactly as I had envisioned it. A bit to narrow.

Bu I guess I was thinking more Dress than Tunic. So I gave this to a young colleague expecting a baby girl.

Then I started over - wanted the same start - but making it wider. I added some wedges- two in front at two in the back - at the same time as I kept the increase in the sides as described in the recipe. The result:? I am happy :-)
