Cobblestone pullover


my friend Penny loved mine in blue, so gave me this yarn to knit one for her as well. It is Cresta cashmere, to me it looks like discontinued, no info about needles. Never knitted with cashmere, so I see how it goes .. anybody knows this yarn?

I knit London

my friend Anja took me to this shop. It is very near to Waterloo station and it is great. I knit London. Couldn´t decide what to buy so I left with these 3 skeins of Cherry Hill sock yarn in Gypsy Rose, Fall Foliage and Birches ( from top to down ). The first one is for my friend as a birthday present, hope she will like it.

Applied i-cord



I finished baby blanket for my colleague and used applied i-cord for the edge, inspired by Mason dixon knitting. Cool one, really :) Well, I made the squares too big, next time I would do them smaller, but the blanket still looks good.

Oh no,

look, what happened to my sockapalooza socks. I truly loved them and wore as much as I could. Didn´t realize this could happen to them. Well, the small hole I can fix pretty easily, but the big one? Ooooh, what have I done? :)
