Maroccan stripes

One of my favorite knit-designers on Ravelry.com is Veera Välimäki. Her knitwears are both simple they yet really interesting .The patterns are really well written ( allthough for some it doesn´t help hihi).

I´ve been lurking around on Ravelry on her design page and I finally bought a pattern.


Color affection


I call my version  Maroccan stripes. The colors reminded me somehow of  Marocco allthough I´ve never been there.

It became quite big because I didn´t reed the entire pattern, as one maby should :D

It´s well over 2 meters in with and is so lovely to drape in. 

Ithink it will be lovely to use in chill sommer evenings and on cold winterdays.

I was dertermined to use yarn from my stash, that is why I only used two colors for the third color combo and had a complimentary color for the edging.

The yarn I used is Silja sock yarn from Spar kjøp ( the gray, mustard and rusty orange) and Ida sock yarn from Europris.(the purple)

I really liked the pattern and I think I would make this again. I might have some yarn stashed away (!!) (Really?????)  uhummmmm, yeah!!!!!!!

Still stash busting

As I mentioned in a previous post I´m stashbusting. Im going to have a stall in a local market on friday the 19th. And therefore I´ve been knitting things I wouldn´t othewise have knitted.

I have 2 boys, no girls do I havn´t knitted so much girlystuff:)

But now i have knittet after a free pattern:

Hine is a girl. By. Kelly Brooker.

I made those pink buttons . They are lampworked out of  italian glass.

Hine  is a wonderful pattern and really easy.

Since I liked the pattern so much I made two of them :P

And who knowes, mayby there will be more of them with  some small modifications.
