Blocking is magic!

I have not made any shawl before the Birch, and I have not done much blocking.
Yesterday I finely did block the Birch-shawl. I was not shore that I did it "right", and that it would look alright. But the result was amazing! And it is a lot bigger :-)

Regia-socks that is meant to be a pair, but they don't look quite the same. But I bet there will be some warm feets inside them.

Hello Kitty is finished

Here it is






My first Regia-sock.
That is - I did make one that turned out to be too small.
This sock-pattern is great, giving a perfect fit!
I used the pattern in "the knitters handy book of patterns".
This book have been very useful.

Yes, I am still knitting. But it's been rather slow lately. A lot of things to take care of...My daughters Hello Kitty top is almost finished. It's not been easy...I have been knitting and ripping, and knitting and ripping...Certainly I have found my weak spot in knitting: motif's!!!

The "Birch"-shawl in Kidsilk Haze is finished. I just need to do some blocking! 

Yesterday I started on the Hello Kitty KAL-project. It is a summer-top for my daughter. 

The shawl is in progress. The picture could have been better. This pattern is really lovely! 

Svale from Dale and Summer Tweed from Rowan. 

Making swatches!

Yes, it's not the most fun part of knitting, but it deffenetly pays off.
I have been making a swatch from the Summer Tweed (Rowan) and Svale (Dale of Norway).
The first one is the tricky part, and I still don't know what size needles to use and what pattern to choose.
