W.I.P.Wednesday : My CAL project and more.

So today is Wednesday and I have a lot of projects on my needles and hooks as always.
I'm only going to share pictures of two of them.

I'm still working on my Teddy Bear Huggy Blanket which you can read about here .No newer photos though since I have a big and important project going on.

So Stacey from Freshstitches has started a CAL, which involves crocheting Jackie the Cow ,one of her adorable must-make- patterns. Yeah I'm a sucker for her patterns and I'm not ashamed to admit it! haha.
Of course I had to participate.

I'm not quite done choosing my colors, but I've started out with a dark pink for the body :

I'm using a 100 % acrylic for this cow. It's Jette from Hjertegarn.

Besides that. I'm doing a secret knitting project.
And it has a deadline!
Oh yeah. A VERY short deadline I might add.
I REALLY hope I can make it. Haven't been knitting since before Christmas. And I already had to rip out 15 rounds of lace pattern.
Reminder to myself : Remember a safety line!

I'm using 2 types of yarn :
Muskat which is a 100 % mercerised Egyptian Cotton, it has a fairly firm structure when knitted which is needed for some parts of this pattern.

The other  yarn is :
Cotton Viscose , a 54 % Cotton , 46 % Rayon. It has a nice shine ,but is a bit slippery to knit with when not used to it.


A sneak Peek : 

I hope everyone has a great and productive Wednesday.
 Thanks for stopping by and if you want to check out more W.I.P.'s stop by Tami's :  

About

So..this is going to be my first post as a blogger.
This blog will mainly be about my two main craft hobbies. Knitting and crocheting.

I've been knitting ever since I was a kid  on and off. Mostly off .Life always seemed to get in the way or I got bored with whatever project I was on. Until I started having more than one project running at the same time.
At that time I started learning the US terms of knitting. I love US and UK patterns.

I recently discovered crocheting. Not that I didn't know about it, but it never really "spoke" to me as something I would enjoy doing. Boy was I wrong!

One day I decided I would knit a beanie for kids. Problem was, I couldn't really find any knitting patterns I liked in danish, so I started looking at crocheting patterns, still in danish. I found one I kinda liked and started looking at the basics of crocheting. And I had so much fun doing it and that was when I got hooked.

I wasn't quite happy with the pattern and started searching for patterns in english. I quickly found a whole bunch of patterns I liked and started learning the terms in english (US).

At some point I came across Craftsy and in one of their newsletters, I could sign up with a discount for one of their  online classes and so I did.

Now I'm hooked on crocheting and discovering Craftsy actually made my passion for knitting come back. At this point I'm signed up for 5 classes and I'm not done signing up yet.
