W.I.P. Wednesday - Cows and a KAL

I didn't really get around to showing any W.I.P.'s or F.O.'s last week.Sorry about that, but things got a bit crazy here and I had to act fast.
On top of that I had to celebrate my birthday twice so a busy week it was. I got some really great presents though. Among others I got a gift certificate for my local LYS and I immediately started thinking about what I would use it for.
I am down to two choices, both is from Army Of knitters (AOK). I really LOVE Heather Dixon's designs. They are to die for! And I want to make them all.

1. Sunflowers Cami and Sunflowers Skirt

or

2. Waterlillies

What do you think ?

I'm also waiting for the mail to deliver some books. I'm not entirely sure how many books I'll get, but I know that from my wishlist, one is bound to be Fearless Fair Isle Knitting if I get more than one it's going to be one of Staceys books (Freshstitches). Either Crocheted Softies or Cuddly Crochet .If I'm REALLY lucky and get all four books from my list, then the fourth one is going to be Knitting : Color, structure and design .

No matter how many I'll get, I am going to be SO happy when it arrives!

Anyway .Ready to see what I've been up to :

If you have been following my blog, you'll know about my eagerness to participate in Freshstitches Cow- CAL. You can read about it in a previous post here

I'm making a family of 3 cows. Mrs. and Mr. Muumuh and Little Cowey Muumuh. Unfortunately I am propably not going to make the deadline. I decided to order some handpainted eyes from suncatcher , but forgot that the delivery time from US to Denmark varies depending on where items ships from.
Ah well I wasn't in it for the win but for the fun.

My progress so far :

Oh wait he's  not done yet .Haven't even started him yet. 

Besides crocheting my cows, I've started participating in a KAL as in a Knit Along. I'm a member of the AOK (Army of Knitters) group over at Ravelry. 

We are knitting Tigerlillies . I'm using a different yarn than the one the pattern calls for , since it's not available here. I did find a nice substitute : Onion knit : Reiki.
