I have started to knit again. Just small things, but they keep me happy and distracted. After browsing through etsy for some simple patterns I just had to start rightaway, using some leftover wool I had stored for a while.
Combining these two colors reminds me of strawberry and vanilla icecream, or those kind of marshmallows you can get at funfairs. It's pure sweetness!
A new catalogue has arrived and I am craving for big chunky knitted cardigans now. Like these ones here. I am wondering if I should knit one for myself. Is it worth it?
The sun came out and I took a couple of pics of my balcony garden. I finally got my new dslr cam, and I can't wait to take her out and to town. We just need to spend a bit more time together, so I really know how to use all those buttons.
The world seems so much prettier through its lens.
You should definitely make one of these cardigans! What catalogue are they from? I especially like the first one :)
ReplyDeleteThey're from 3suisses (3suisses.com), and it's lovely for browsing and autumnly color inspiration.
ReplyDeleteBut I just saw they won't deliver to Sweden, and that's where you are right now? Looks like we both have to get out our knitting needles! ;)
I am indeed in Sweden :) Not to worry - there are lots of great patterns out there. Today I finally finished weaving in the ends of a jumper that I made in Australia. Tomorrow I think I'll start a new (much less time-consuming) project. Have you picked a cardigan pattern for yourself doll? x
ReplyDeleteThat vanilla-strawberry-ice combo looks beautiful! (they made me think of icecream right away as well!!)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, i've noticed you & your new cam are good friends already!!

Oh I loved that jumper, Jessica. I haven't decided on a cardi pattern yet.. I actually got distracted by that lovely owl jumper pattern that's been on so many blogs already. But the time-consuming issue holds me back a little. I am looking forward to your next project! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Syl, yes, I am slowly getting the hang of it. But I am still using the automatic settings... the light hasn't been too good lately, so I haven't been confident enough to play around with all those uncountable buttons. If I lived closer, I would do a course with you in exchange for some pie :>
