WIP Wednesday - Lanesplitter and Hotpants
I do still knit things other than charity scarves, you know? Not much, but I do. To prove that, here are my two WIPs at the moment: a pair of hotpants and a skirt.

I have another Ysolda design FO which I actually finished a long time ago. Sometimes the taking pictures part takes longer than the knitting, don't you agree?
Oops, look how far June is already! Time for the Designer of the Month post. This time I interviewed the talented Alexis Winslow, who lives in Brooklyn, NY and works as a printed textile designer for children's bedding. You can catch up with her on her blog, knitdarling.com, where she writes, and video blogs about all her knitting adventures.
Last weekend (a long weekend due to Whit Monday) me and Nick went to Brussels for a little city getaway. It was brilliant! We got there on Saturday, the first WWKIP day this year, and the Brussels Stitch and Bitchers had organized a cool flashmob-type event on Grand Place, the main square in Brussels: a yarn fight!
My charity knits are coming along slowly, but coming along anyway!
Here are two scarves I knit some time back - using up stash and looking forward to giving them to someone in need.
The left one is made with local sock yarn from Wollkontor Erlangen, some Finnish wool and an old yarn called Tiffany. It was knit in fisherman's rib with 4 mm needles, and it's about 1,70 long. I think it used about 200 grams of yarn!
