New year

I wish you all a happy new year in good health and peace and harmony in yourself.

Out of the washing-machine

The bag is ready and dry. I am happy with the result. Don't know yet if it is for me or for the shop....

On the needles 2

I could not longer wait for the knittingbook that I ordered. So I started to knit this  cardigan with the Rowan Scottish Tweed aran that I bought last winter. I bought it just in time because it's discontinued now.
I'll modify the neckline, I prefer a collar.

On the needles

After all the sewing I have a mind to KNIT. First thing I did was frogging the Lorelei  cardigan . I ‘ll knit a fair isle cardigan or wrap with this beautiful Island yarn. It’s a pity to knit in only one color. I ordered the new Kirstin Nicholas book, maybe I’ll chose a pattern from this book.  

Today I knitted a bag with yarn from my stash. I did the bottom with some Eskimo scraps for carry along. I was afraid I would ‘t have enough, I am glad I did that.

The bag is now in the the washing-machine for felting………

Christmas

I wish you a warm and peaceful Christmas!

The cranes (kraanvogels/grues) are leaving us...........
