Shawl-FO. It's not a prince, nor a frog

Ok, the shawl for the Sammakkoprinssi-KAL is finished. It didn't become the gorgeous triangular shawl I was hoping for - see, the YO holes not only make the shawl wider, but also taller. Only in the middle, mind you. So it's not so much triangular as it is a square.

 

It does work as a shawl, but better it warms nicely as a laphgan / throw when sitting in our cold living room.

Another fun scarf

I'm stash busting this year, and the quickest, funnest way I can do that is knitting funky scarves. I have made many of these already, with different yarns and needle sizes, and while I had nothing really easy to knit on Friday (I wanted just something really really easy!) I started a new scarf. I finished it on Sunday. Here it is.

Finished a cat bed

After I knit one cat bed for charity / animal shelter before Christmas, I decided I will definately need to make more of them - they are fun, use up fun fur and novelty yarns, plus they are for a good purpose. I hope to give this to a local no-kill shelter as soon as possible. The bed is shown here with a toy pig, as unfortunately I don't have a cat who could model it.

Red space socks

When in Germany during last Christmas holidays I stocked up on sock yarn (as shown in an earlier posting). I also bought Regia Galaxy, self striping yarn which will make little 'galaxies' in the sock; little rings of Jupiter so to say. It must be the coolest idea ever, this yarn!

Noro yarn is lovely

I finished a pair of beautiful Fetchings in Noro Kureyon yarn couple of days ago. The funny thing is, just started them a couple of days ago! These were so quick! And they are gorgeous. I have been wearing them every day since they were finished. Here they are posing in Dun Laoghaire, where we had a little day trip today.
