I saw this nice tittle top at Geilsk web shop, and I just had to wait til my granddaughter was big enough to knit it to her.

Cotton/wool blend and the stitches gave it a light, soft fabric. 

The shaping of this garment was perfect for the young lady.

And it was pink.

We really like Pink for the time being.

Not Yellow anymore. 

The stitches - in English "Extended Open-Work Stitch" 

Angry bird hat for Yr

It is summer temperatures here now, and we have had one week of 20+ degrees :-)

This means that woolen hats are to warm to wear in preschool and kindergarten. But even if it is summer, we know that temperatures will drop to 12 degrees and some days we will have strong winds. So a summerhat for the little ones are a nice thing to have.

First I knitted a traditional little Helmet kind of hat.

Debbie Bliss Wool/cotton mix.

Pattern from Hjertegarn

But it was oh so boring.

 So I was wondering to turn it into an owl hat, and made a beak. Made some eyes.
But it still was not to my liking.

I added eyebrows. So now it is a kind of Angry Bird hat.

I hope it fits the young lady's head and that she likes it.

Babies arriving in the family

Let put it like this: there are multiple incidents of nephews and nieces becoming parents in the near future.
So I am knitting so they can all have a little something for the newcomer(s).

This is a knitted T-shirt in Wool/cotton. Approx. size 6 months.

Baby blouse for a summer baby

Last time I was in London i bought two skeins of Debbie Bliss Wool/cotton mix.
One of my young relatives is expecting a baby this summer, so I decided to create a summer blouse/alternative west for the little one.

 

The picture are lying when it comes to the colour, it is not pink, it is red. But that doesn't really matter, because it turned out to not be gender neutral as planned, it became feminine as I worked on the finnishing details.

 

Back and front knitted on knitting machine- tuck stitch.

Side sewn together,

Neck opening knitted on hand, same with arm openings and bottom.

 

Jacket for Sofie

Geilsk has so many fantastic creations. Livstykkejakken is a great jacket for my youngest daughter. Easy to use un top of a thin blouse or T-shirt - and nice enough to use over a dress.

Wool/cotton mix from Geilsk is just perfect. Not to warm- but warm enough.

Jacket - for the spring

I was in London in September - and just came across some beautiful cotton/wool mix in nice colours.
So a tiny jacket for the spring.

Other people are having babies too....

I have young colleagues being pregnant as well. I think it could be a good idea to knit something to some of them :-)

One is a nice man working with me making our web pages function as close to what we would like them to as possible. He is expecting a boy -so this must me it... Knitted in Geilsk wool/cotton mix - because the baby is due late summer/early fall.
