Seen this one?

It’s a nautiloid, a prehistoric beast. Would look good on any bed, in my opinion.

What to do with a boring cardi? I loved the colour though:

Duckie buttons were purchased:

But embroidery turned out to be the thing du jour. I made an old school-tattoo-motif, no less:

Update coming soon on the finished cardi.

Fast work:

Crazy pic, but great cowl in brown silk alpaca from the stash. Via Insaknitty.

Yodahat felted, with a lamp for model:

Via Four Little Sparrows.

Knitting hats for christmas, in eskimo yarn. Fat yarn makes for fast knitting, and i might be done in time for a change.

Blue hat with organza ribbon, bow in back:

Stripey hat for dad, same colours as last year’s scarf:

Yoda hat for baby (pre-felting):

And a space invaders hat for me:

Scarf in pure, unspun merino wool:

I am happy about this one – the only comments so far is “very princess Leia”, and that can’t be bad?

Fast and warm.

Still trying to wrap my head around the selbu pattern. It’s quite fun, but also quite frustrating. I have made some unexplicable mistakes, but I’ve decided to keep on going. It’s my first pair after all.

A bit more alternative on the inside of the hand. This does not resemble the normal plaid pattern very much:

I have no patience for frogging, so they will have to be alternative.

Another hat, in super fat eskimo yarn this time. This yarn goes very well with moss stitch:

There will be more eskimo hats towards christmas. They are lovely and warm, and very fast to knit.

My second eva hat, in paris cotton yarn:
Well, actually I have modified it, but the basic recipe is hers, and I will give due credit.

Renate got a yellow hat for her birthday, only ten days late:
