En faslig blandning av växfärgade garner, nålbindning, vävning, stickning, virkning, broderier, bakning, matlagning och naturen mm. A mix of wool dyed with plants, weaving, embroidery, knitting, crochet, cooking, baking and pictures I take of the nature and other stuff. =)

Not much progress
My Log Cabin Blanket hasn´t grown much, but I still think it´s fun when I´m knitting on it. But I don´t knit on it often. I think that when fall comes, I will be more interested in knitting on it! I´m really happy with the color choice and love how it looks so far, but I´m in no rush to get it done! =)

Min Log Cabin Blanket har inte växt så mycket, men jag tycker fortfarande att det är ett roligt projekt när jag väl stickar på den. Men det gör jag inte så ofta. Jag tror att när hösten närmar sig, blir jag mer intresserad av att sticka på den! Jag är jätte nöjd med färgvalet och älskar hur den ser ut hittils, men jag har inte bråttom alls med att få den klar! =)
Frid!

Top down summer dress
Like I have said, it took a while before this dress made it to the camera. And when it did the color was showing all wrong. And I had nobody who could help me to take pictures. So finally, I did it myself in the evening.
The color isn´t quite right, but much better from the pictures I took in the sunlight.
I have improvised this dress all the way, and knitted it out of Kampes cottonyarn 8/8, with a 4 mm needle.
There are some ugly decreases and increases in places when my brain wasn´t with me, but I was soooo over this dress and refused to rip back. The arm decreases is the worst. But I´m wearing it and I´m loving it. It is so super comfy with leggings underneath that I forgive myself for it.
It is a bit big, but I wanted it that way, although I did not think about how cottonyarn expands. So it is a bit bigger than I wanted. But as I said, I´m loving it. It is a dress I will wear a lot. But if I could go back in time I would cast on more stitches at the beginning, it would be nice if the neckline were a little bigger than it is. But thats what you get when you improvise without calculation or a plan.

Around the neck I just made a crochet edge with a 4mm hook. That was the last thing I did and I was sick of making is, so I wanted a fast fix and I had realized that the nec kline wasn´t as big as I would have liked. So I only crochet one row around it.
I haven´t blocked it or anything, I´ve just been wearing it right away. And as I´m writing this I even have it on me. It is slightly shaped from the waste and down my hips, but it probably doesn´t show on the pictures.
I knitted on and off on this dress for over a year! And there was times I didn´t feel like completing it at all. But after a few months of rest, I picked it up again and knitted a little bit on it and then it had to rest again. And now I´m glad I didn´t give up on it!!

Jag har stickat en uppifrån och ner klänning i Kampes bomullsgarn 8/8 med 4 mm stickor. Det tog mig över ett år för att jag blev less på den och la undan den månader i taget. Jag har improviserat den från början till slut och den skulle gärna ha fått vara lite vidare i halslinningen. Den är även lite stor, det var planerat dock. Men jag tog inte med i beräkningen hur mycket bomullsgarn gillar att töja ut sig......
Men den är så otroligt gosig och bekväm att ha på sig med leggings under att jag till och med förlåter mig själv för lite ful minskningar och ökningar här och var, särskilt på armarna - då hjärnan inte var med mig. Och mer än så här har jag inte ork till att skriva på svenska!!
