Another Friday, time to do another Darfur posting - I still have to do them, the bloody war is still going on, the President of Sudan is still on the loose.

This time I thought I'd link a site here in Germany, to any German readers I may have (please say hi at the comments!) Hilfe für Darfur is a humanitarian group which helps Darfurians with money and work. Currently they're working on a school project  - please read more at the site.

I made these sets as Christmas presents for a 3-year-old and a 7-year-old girls. I hope they like them!

First the turqoise set (Pinja's set from Ullaneule)

For the hat, I CO 104 stitches and made the hat with 3,5mm dpns. The hat is ca 18 cm long - I made the first version too short, had to rip back to knit more rows. The mitts were made 100% according to the instructions.

The yarn is 7-Veljestä Moniraita (I think).

So, I actually knit even more mitts! I had promised Ompelukerho to knit some fingerless mitts for their Christmas sale too, so I did, even though I couldn't really see let alone make another mitten. But now they're done, and I really really will knit something else now!

Hooray for me! After three months, I finally copied the last post from the old Joomla-based blog to this new Drupal one. Now all the content is here, and you can see my old projects, read the older book reviews, and so on.

I'm so happy it's done, just wanted to share with you all!

So, the promised last mitts:

The black and red mitts (with the same design as the grey Marengo mitts from last post) are made from Nick's recycled scarf. It was one of my first projects and I gave it to Nick christmas 2006 - it was way too short and narrow, so he gave it to me to redo. I remade it into these. It's Debbie Bliss Merino Aran (maybe?)

Second pair, funky and colorful! I liked these. Basic cables, for narrow hands.
