Hobbies & Crafts http://druttknits.blogdrive.com/archive/23.html Tue, 28 Aug 2007 13:01:04 GMT well, not knitting anyway. It is so typical, I sign up for a KAL and then knit half a sock... I don't really know why thogh. I love the pattern and the yarn so it should be moving along a lot faster. But then again I haven't been knitting much of anything this summer so that is probably the reson. Here is the sock basking in the sun on a boat trip in the Stockholm arcipelago And then as promised a long time ago, some pictures of my finished opal "clown" socks. I like them but they are a bit big. Lazy knitter that I am I will not rip back and redo the toe but wear and love them anyway ...

The socks are done with just one day to spare before the KAL starts tomorrow... I'll take som pictures and post some more information after the week end. Untill then wish you a happy midsummer and happy knitting http://druttknits.blogdrive.com/comments?id=22 http://druttknits.blogdrive.com/archive/21.html Tue, 05 Jun 2007 20:04:36 GMT We have had freinds from the UK staying with us over the weekend so not much knitting got done. We did how ever have lots of fun showing off Stockholm at itīs finest. The weather has been really cooperative and the kids could even go for a "swim" in the play pond at the park near where we live! Lots of fun :o) So for knitting; I have an almost finished item and some socks. The almost finished is a baby hat from Baby bloom by Erica Knight. It is knit in Rowan Wool cotton and is really quick and fun to knit. I just have to weave in the ends and add the i-cord strings and then its done. It is a...

I went on a little yarn-crawl about a week ago and ended up with some very nice summery sock yarns and woulden't you know; there is a summer of socks 2007 knit along! There really wasn't any choise but to join in on the fun (if you want to join too you better hurry on over there, the sign ups close tomorrow) This is the sock yarn I "found" last week. I also bought some lace yarn and wool for sweaters for the babies. If you click on the picture it will take you to my flickr account and you can see mor pics there. I started...

It has been hiding away in a big plastic box untill yesterday. This is the new storage solution!!! It does have a bit of an overflow to the floor. It is a Bohus sweater kit, enough red yarn for a sweater for me, a very old UFO and my embroidery stash. I have also managed to organise my knitting books and magasines and found a permanent place for my WIP basket. All this putting things in order has acctually been good for my knitting. Thees past few days I have made some progres on E's dress and the feather and fan scarf. The scarf is my...

They are going to Legoland together wiht another father and son this weekend. A was thrilled by the ide of flying, I don't even think he cares what happens when they get there... So my plans for this evening are very clear. Catch up on blogs and podcasts and hopefully get som knitting done. I have started a new dress for E. Same pattern as the other one but bigger size and different color. And my feather and fan shawl is stil not finished so I may knit a row or two on that as well. We'll see how it goes http://druttknits.blogdrive.com/comments?id=18 http://druttknits.blogdrive.com/archive/17.html Thu, 19 Apr 2007 10:42:56 GMT Light, light, light, that is what I long for during the long dark and grey days of February and March. I love Sweden but winter here is VERY dark. But now it is spring and the sun doesn't set until eight in the evening and everthing seems so easy and wonderful :o) (even when it is raining, like now...). In the spirit of spring we have been busy redecorating our house and also getting some new furniture. We finally got our new sofa delivered last week and it looks really good in our livingroom. It is seen here modelled by little E and with the new cushions. I am very pleased with the way it...

Babygirl just fits in to all the daily routins and even sleeps most nights and in her own baby cott at that... Her big brother never slept in the cott and just 3-4 months ago stoped coming over to our bed during the night. Here are brother and sister when she was about 1 week old and then some pictures from our adventures this easter. We were out at my parents summer house in the archipelago. Lots of food, fun and sun all around. I have been able to get some knitting done during the...

Both the little one and I are ok and all is well. Will be back with a more thourough update and some knitting later. http://druttknits.blogdrive.com/comments?id=15 http://druttknits.blogdrive.com/archive/14.html Thu, 15 Feb 2007 20:49:26 GMT Still knitting, still waiting. Just same old, same old... So I thought I share some of my knitting First off is the FOs of the past week Fetching from Knitty in Malabrigo Travellers socks by Nancy Bush from VK I feel really good about the socks since it is my first pair of "thin" socks. I have already cast on a new pair and I am planning to cast on for a third pair, so the sock-bug has bit me hard... but I will have warm feet at least. The wrist warmers are the second pair I make and they are, as I think I said befor, super soft and wonderful. Very good for Swedish... (more) http://druttknits.blogdrive.com/comments?id=14
