Wow, it’s been a while since I posted. Well, here I am back again. It’s Sunday and I woke up today at 7.00 am for some strange reason. The boyfriend is still asleep so… perfect time to let you in on what I’ve been knitting. First, I finished the Hexacomb Cardigan from IK Spring 2008, and got loads of positive feedback on it in Ravelry. Thanks guys, you really made my day. J I’ve been wearing it to work and it’s really cute and comfortable.

Then I made the Origami cardigan from IK Summer 2007. I had to do some calculations for this one because the gauge was off. It turned out really well and fits just like I hoped it would, I’m really pleased.

Also, I finished the boyfriend’s socks, yay me! He has been wearing them too, which makes me happy. Haven’t managed to get pictures of these socks, sorry.
About a month before Mothers’ Day, I got the idea that I wanted to make something nice for my mom. She is (or at least used to be) a knitter too, so I was pretty sure that she would appreciate a handmade gift. I decided to make the Muir shawl from Knitty because it’s a very modern shawl, not granny-like at all. And believe me, my mom is no granny yet. I had some laceweight, hand panted cotton in a blue-green colorway so I was able to start immediately. I haven’t knitted lace much but this was a fun project, even though I had to knit basically every day to finish on time. And I did… and mom loved it. I’m pleased.

So… what else has happened here? Not much really, the bunnies are getting really fat and it feels like I’m working all the time. I will take the first week of June off, so that’s something fun to look forward to. The boyfriend will be on holiday too as his summer job starts a bit later in June, so we’ll be able to spend some time together. I’m so ready for summer to start.
I’ve got a couple of things on the needles now. I’m almost finished knitting the Minimalist Cardigan from IK Fall 2007. This time I started with the sleeves and front halves and I’m almost done knitting the back piece. The yarn I’m using is Just Soya from Sirdar and it’s really lovely. I’m also trying to make something of the Gedifra Big Point yarn that I bought a while ago from a yarn shop Tallinn, Estonia.
I’ve also been yarn shopping like a maniac. Here are some of the yarnies that I have recently bought:





I know, that’s a lot of yarn. there’s still one more package on the way, some Bella Colour cotton yarn I bought from DBNY. I can’t decide what to do with this one, so many possibilities. Maybe something from Knitting Nature, there’s so much nice stuff in that book.
