Knits!!!

Today was REALLY great! The sun was shining, I went jogging and I have finished my hat, scarf and a neckband for Tahvo. Also I had friends for coffee and it always makes me more lively (coffee also makes me over energetic). And sometimes I just feel love, love love...Yessssh....Now is a good time to go forward to the pictures ;)
Close up from my little prince, hah! The cap was really easy to do, it's a square and it looks like I have little cat's ears. I used Novita's Teddy for yarn. Aren't we a handsome couple ;)

Yesterday I went to the library with Jaakko and I found many books that interested me. I have a superpower to empty the craft book section of the library: Here's my catchThis dress I vould make with shoulderstraps, but I like the idea really much!! Is this the happiest hippy-shirt for a newborn. HIH! I would like to do only the sleeves...Not the text on the shirt that says "lust for knitting" or something like that.

The Finnish knit-book "Puikoissa" was my favourite and the pictures above are from that book. They are rellay beautifull and colourfull! There were other nice designs too,but these are the ones I would like to make myself. Mostly the striped cardigan above. There is something that pleases my eye. It's not too neat maybe? I like the look of "always right" as used too on the sweater beneath.This is the only design I would like to knit from the stitching bitch book. I like this picture too (Maybe because I like dogs, colour red and striped socks :) ?)Then a very nice idea how to use little round lace doilies!

Otherwise I've been reading Zadie Smiths "On Beauty" And since I've finished it and liked it very much (I'm a sucker for mixed feelings and changing wiews on life) I loaned also her first novel "White theet".

Knitting blogs

I get really exited about yarns and knitting and crochet work. And every now and then I read knitting blogs even tough I already have three knits waiting to be finished and reading only makes me wanna start new works. So instead of beginning knitting new adorable things right away, I share these ideas here and when I get something ready I can return to this (I have this strict "only three knits uncomplete is okay"-law). Well I would LIKE to do a vintage looking (1920?) slipover and leg warmers(like the green ones in the picture down) for myself, a little jacket for Tahvo, a stylish cap for Jaakko and many more....

This "Dragon scarf" is Vilma's design. And she generously gives the pattern for free in her blog (clic her name) in finnish and english. Love the simplicity, functional form and innovative idea!

This dog is really stylish! My Tahvo (it's also a miniature pincher) should have a better garderobe. Thanks to Heidi's blog for it!This is an amazing work of Althea Crome. And the incredible part is that she makes everything at the scale of 1:12!!! It's hard to apprehend that this jacket is only few centimeters in size.
