So, I'm back from holiday and before I get my Finland and Sweden pictures organised, I'll just show that I'm alive and kicking by posting a recent FO which I call the Dramatic wrap shawl.
I'm still working on the perfect cat bed. This is not yet it! But at least it's fluffy and cuddly! I'll give it to the animal shelter for sale later on.
I used odd balls of fluffy yarns, that's all I can say about the yarn. Some I got from the shelter, some I had in my stash. I made the bottom in one piece, like the bottom in Princess Snowball cat bed from Stitch'n'Bitch, and then picked up stitches along the sides. I used 6mm needles.
It still doesn't stand up right, but I keep trying!
I'm taking part in a crazy Finnish KAL called "Kesäyön hullutus", which translates to "summernight's folly"! The idea is to start a new project every day from the 1st June to the 20th of June, and finish all these projects by the end of July! I joined on the 6th, so I have a few less to do, but still... so therefore small projects are the best in this challenge!
I think preemie hats are the perfect small projects one can make. They're easy, quick and very useful (I'll be sending them to charity).
Just wanted to say a quick sorry - I haven't been blogging much the last week or so, and won't be either, maybe (hopefully) with the exception of this week (even though it's really too hot to think!)
You might have heard, I got married last Saturday! That has kept me busy, plus we travelled to the wedding location last Wednesday, came back on Monday and now on Thursday I'm slowly cathcing my breath. But that's not all - on 14th July we'll be heading to Sweden and then Finland for a good week.
