Back again!

So it's been some time since I last posted, had to take a break due to pains in my hands and neck :-( Trying to take it slow now, but I had lots of time to make up new ideas and find fun and cool recipes to try out!

Still working on the Granny square blanket for my beautiful niece Emma, I afraid she might grow out of it before I'm done. We just celebrated her 1. birthday, but I think the soft blend of 50% merino wool and 50% will make for  a nice warm blanket for a long winter and spring sleeping in the pram.

I am also preparing the family for winter with new Beanies, made of nice thick and soft acrylic yearn for a hopefully "no itch" result. The boys are choosing colours for their own beanie, witch makes for fun and colourful results!







Here David is gracefully modeling his cool lime green/grass green/white beanie.

Philip wanted something with an American theme so we chose a clear blue, a white and a nice bright red with some yellow stars. I didn't make ALL the stars witch  would  have made my hands ache >.< but I placed 3 big ones right in the front. :-)

It was a bit difficult to get him to stay still for a photo, but he was very proud of his new hat, but a bit tired after a long first school day.
