W.I.P. Wednesday - Progresses

 Yay it's W.I.P. Wednesday once again :)

Besides getting a new phone and spending a lot of hours setting it up with apps and all, I've been working on several projects for the Ravallenic Games.

Remember Pumpkin Pie from last W.I.P. ?

I reached 1/3 and it looks like this now :




I decided that next project should be Roscoff . It's a very fast knit  where the yarn is held double stranded, and it didn't take long to get to 1/3.

Not much to see besides the ribbing :)



After that, I decided to start on Caliente , a seamless bra-top.

First a white version knitted to 1/3.





And then the black version, not quite at 1/3, but getting there.



All patterns are from Army of Knitters

I used Drops Paris for all the projects except the black Caliente. I thought it could be fun trying a different yarn and see how it would look.
I chose to knit it in Drops Cotton Viscose which has a tiny bit of shine to it . Not quite sure I like it yet.


Anyway, that's my W.I.P.'s this week. How about you ?


For more great W.I.P.'s be sure to hop on over to Tami's.



Thanks for stopping by and have a craftsy Wednesday :)

F.O. Friday - Cuddly, snuggly

Been on a picnic with my youngest daughter to a local park. We had a great time and the sun was shining all day.


Of course. No picninc without some crafting and a book to read , while she was playing.


Anyway it's F.O.Friday.
Being busy with The Ravallenics and an event that requires you NOT to finish what you start, I still got to fasten off a few projects.
As I wrote  here , my grandsons birthday was up and I was making presents for him.

First there's one of Freshstitches patterns from her book Crocheted Softies. I love making her patterns.

Meet Hootie The Owl made in Smart from Sandnes.


Then the Sunnyside Cardigan got done. It's hard to see with the yarn I used, but there's cables in the pattern.


That's it from me this friday.
So did you get anything finished this week ?

For more awesome F.O.s this friday ,make sure to visit Tami's


Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

W.I.P. Wednesday - So much to do.

Yesterday my oldest daughter , son-in-law and my grandson came for a visit. They brought souvenirs from their vacation in Bulgaria. I got a lovely new wallet. My daughter remembered that my old one was pretty worn out.

We had a great day together and it was pretty late before they drove home :)


Anyway it's W.I.P. Wednesday.

I've been working on a lot of things.

First there's progress on an owl for my grandson, it's part of his birthday presents. Of course it's another one of Stacey aka Freshstitches patterns.


And a cardigan knitted in one piece. Oh how I love when there's almost no weaving ind ends and sewing together at the end.
And it knits up fast even on small needles :)

It's the Sunnyside Cardigan, a free pattern which you can find here . There's a "girl" version and a more "boyish" version. I used Drops Fabel in a colorway they call Chocolate.



Next I made progress on my Tigerlillies.


I love this one. It's fast, knitted in one piece and you can watch a lot of tele while knitting. 


Then there's the Ravallenic games 2012. Remember from my last post here

Well. First I started on the Sunflowers Skirt. It's done by around 35 % . Yarn used is Drops Muskat.



So now it's resting until after the Olympics.


Next I continued with The Sunflowers Cami also in Drops Muskat.



I am having so much fun with this event.

My third Cast On is Pumpkin Pie in Drops Paris.


I'm actually a lot  further than the photo and hope to get to 34 % tonight. 




Anyway that's all for this Wednesday. How about you ? 



For more W.I.P.'s be sure to visit Tami
