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!!!!!!!

Aqua,teal, beautiful colors.

Can there ever be enough of aqua/teal color in the world? I wonder????
In my humble opinion, NO.
On monday I'll start working in a kindergarten. The children I will work with are in the age 3-5. I am so looking forward to this. I really needed to try something else for a while.
This west is partly my pattern and partly this: Vormorgun by Védís Jónsdóttir. It's knittet in one ply platelopi and on 3,5 needles.


It is not fittet in any way at the waist. I'm not a "thight" person in any way and I like my clothes to be a little ( or quite more than little would some say) loose. This west will, I think be a perfect garment to use at work whwn it gets colder.



Another aqua/teal thing from me. This is a button made by me. It is made out of italian glass, from Moretti. My beads have gone through a wool washing cykle and survived, so I think this one vill do to.

This is one of my owls. It's quite small, about 1,5 cm tall. Its a little beauty, in my opinion, hehe, that is what we all think about our "babies".

Take a look at this blog. She is a skilled knitter. And she has a themecolor now and then.
