W.I.P. Wednesday - Still muuhing

Progress has been very slow on my CAL , 'cause my secret project had a deadline.
Well deadline was yesterday and if you want to know what my secret project was, you can see it here

Back to todays W.I.P' s

I'm going to show 2 of them.

First is my progress on my cow.
I'm planning on doing a family of 3 and Mrs.Muhmuuh is the first . Not finished yet but getting there :

So far I've made the spots, body , legs and arms.

I recently bought Kitty Knits by Donna Druchunas and in my stash I have 4 skeins of Aimee, which can be used for The Peruvian Cat Lace Scarf , so this evening I did the CO and a little bit of the pattern.

I really love Aimee, to bad it's being discontinued. It has 90 % Cotton and 10 % Cashmere and it is soooo soft.


I know I propably shouldn't have started another project, since I'm joining a KAL that starts 1.-7. , but it was too tempting.

If you want to see more awesome W.I.P.'s jump on over to Tami's and check them out :)

Have a wonderful Wednesday :)

The Secret's Out

I was actually going to wait until the next F.O. but decided to post today.

Remember my secret project ? You can read about it here and here .

Well today was the day when the secret got revealed to the recepient., but first some background.
A while back I showed my 16 year old daughter Army Of Knitters website. We were looking at all the fabulous designs when we came across Hattie. And she was all "ohh I want one!" Can you make me one ?
She lives at her dads ,but ever since she saw that dress she's been talking about it everytime she's been for a visit.
So..her graduation day was today and my mom , my 6 year old daughter ,my 23 year old daughter ,my son-in-law, my grandson and me decided she should have that dress as a surprise.
It's not that easy to knit a dress when the one it's for keeps dropping by for a visit on and of and you only have like 14 days to get it done.
And EVERYTIME she asked if I could make it ,while she was here on vacation and I just had to pretend like nothing and say :  yes of course blah blah blah.
Those 14 days quickly went down to around 9 give and take , since I had other things to do aswell.
Anyway she was very happy when she got it :)

I'm going to have her pose in it when she's here on vacation, but until then these will have to do :

I'm very pleased with the outcome , considering it's been a while since I knitted a bigger project and it's my first big project using a US pattern.
Ohh yeah and the fact that I had a deadline.
