3 knittings

Well, I can't prove it with photos, but the little brown Norwegian sweater for our niece is done. I finished it this Friday and actually thought that it wasn't that girly.

You see, I believed that we were going to get a nephew - and bets have been lost due to that opinion! - so I thought that the sweater would be fine.
But as it turned out to be a girl, I would have loved to add a tiny cross-stitch heart on the front of the sweater. That I didn't have the time to do, so I sewed on the 4 wooden buttons on the shoulders with pale pink thread.

Now I'm back to knitting the marine cardigan for Anne-Sophie. I hope to get it done soon, so she doesn't have to freeze.

Once in a while I pick up another little knitting, which I started yesterday. A classic Djævlehue for little Agnes - that's what our niece is going to be named.

The pattern is from the magazine Hendes Verden and you find it right here - sadly it's only in Danish. But if you have a look on ravelry there are some patterns for Dvævlehuer (devils' hats) in English.

And don't get scared - you might see real Devil hats too.....

Oh, I love books...

I'm very excited about this book with children's costumes, which I ordered the other day. A book I know I will use a lot, because I know from previous experience that the patterns are good and well designed.

And another fabulous book is on it's way now:

Kajsa's Scandinavian Stitches: 21 Playful Projects with Seasonal Flair , which I preordered a long time ago, has been shipped.



Hm...hm...

Done... #2, originally uploaded by lille-ursus.

I know I promised not to write any more about the baby blanket! But since Marie-Louise kindly asked wheter she could see the whole quilt, then I couldn't turn her down.

So here you are, Marie-Louise... :)

 My first and very bumpy quilt (which probably ends up with a bunch of untied quilting threads!) But I sure loved making it - well, most of the time.
