Finally DONE

Now my dear people, I have been working on this for a while now, and I am so glad that I have finished it today, this morning I fastened the last end. 

 Bedspread for my Goddaughter Bella. I doubt that she is reading my blog, so Ican freely post pictures..

And if you DO see this Caroline Isabell, I hope you like it...but you're not getting it until August 28th!

Big hugs

I have joined Tour de France knitting challenge, So I will tell you that I plan to finish the crocheted blanket and the baby jacket I have had lying here since I started it in July 2010..It needs to be finished!!

I don't really have anypictures to show you just now., butI have roughly 25 squares left to finish and fasten...then of course I need to have an edge maybe a scalloped one, I do tend to like them. Well,I do have a while to make up my mind. 

I am excited to join in on something again..I know I have been writing alot of letters lately, and it feels as if I have ignored my knitting..BUt  I haven't, I have been focusing on this granny square blanket. Nearly done now!!

Oh Oh...

My blog has been unattended for months..andI HAVE felt bad for my beloved blog....But I haven't stopped knitting or crocheting..I have continued and I have some old photos to show you.

Here is my jumper knitted with Wendy Narvik, I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that wool!!

I love it so much that I made a cardigan for my daughter, and it fits perfectly! 

Have a look at those buttons,. I got them from my friend Nan, my LYS owner and for this cardigan they were just right, atleast that's what I think!

Also last but not least...I have knitted the Accidentally girly mitts

and I love them too, really warm and comfy ...so almost as if I can't wait for summer to be over...but than again..I wish it would start soon so I could enjoy some sunshine before Autumn DOES actually arrive!

I promise I will be updating more over the next weeks, I am trying to finish a blanket, a bedspread for my Goddaughter Bella...it MUST be finished by July and I am working hard every evening..I can't wait to start knitting again!!

more

More letters from me...this time it's for Mari in Finland and Jannicke in Norway. I can't believe it took me this long to write letters...! Next one to be written is for Camilla, also in Norway..by the way I ahve actually started writing it, what do you say for being eager!!

I have also been knitting, I started a jumper in Narvik wool on Monday, and I am nearly fiished with it. The front and back are done, and I have started with the sleeves. I am very inpressed with myself!

Pics will be up soon, when it's done I mean! 

Hobbies

I guess I ought to tell you about my other hobby, ot used to be my passion, the thing I lived and breathed for...

I started penpalling in 1990, when I was 12 years old, although the last few years I have had an unvoluntary break, I still consider myself as a letterwriter.

At the "worst" stage i had over 50 penpals, but now it has narrowed down to alot less then that number.
I wanted to tell you about he big thing for me this year, it is that I am challenging myself to write 52 letters in 52 weeks, and I have already managed to write the first one!

I am very happy, and proud to tell that I have finished a letter to the lovely Lisa from Germany. My lette is going in the mail tomorrow!!

Big hugs, Linn

Scrappy Granny Squares

 I finished the blanket for my daughter's bed

 The blanket was started in 18th April 2008

 I have used only scrap wool for the squares

 Some of the squares are not basic granny squares, this square is from a Garnstudio baby blanket (rav link)

 This is another Garnstudio square

 The cat Solveig has found her place on the blanket indeed!

 My two girls :)

 Edging, I am loving it.

Very happy with this one, so I have started another one:)

Linn

During the last...

 Little Solveig is sleeping on the blanket, she loves anything wooly! Very clever cat indeed!

 Thought I'd put up a photo og the last bit of work..another few days only...!

 

And here is the squares for my Goddaughter Bella! These will be a blanket by August:)

OT+ Matta, norwegian post

Hvil i fred Svein "Matta" Mathisen!!! Start og Kristiansand kommer til å savne deg!

Rest in Peace Svein "Matta" Mathisen,. earlier footballplayer in my local cloub Start. He was a good man,!!

Crochet blankets

Granny squares

 This is the start of a blanket, I made the first square on January 1, 2011.

 This is my "old" scrappy granny, it tells a story of wool:)

 I started this scrap blanket on 18th April 2008, nearly finished now

This is my granny square...one day it will be whole...but it might be a while yet..!

Last of 2010

 Already is December nearly finished, and I have been really busy knitting. No time for uploading pictures at all:)

But here are some pics of stuff I have made during the last 6 weeks this year.

 A pale blue twirly swirl scarf, dunno what wool I have used, it was just something I had lying in my so called stash!

 I have also knitted a second Oriental Lily dress, this time it's size 10 years and I have used King Cole Riot.

 The dress is slightly big, but I am sure she'll grow into it.I am really happy with this dress and might wellmake another one next year.

 My latest project finished is my Boucle jacket, I have used Wendy Origin for this jacket. 

I finished the jacket today, so that I could have it finished in the same year I started it. 

The buttons are some that I had lying around. All different colours but same style.

I guess I should have a little summary of 2010:

I knitted and crocheted 

27 things

12 454 meters

And I read:

4 books

That is the  most books I have read in many years, so I am very happy about that!

The last thing I wanted to say is:

Happy New Year 2011
