Back in shape
It all started Friday evening, when after being sick, I really felt ready to get back to my sewing machine. Of course I wanted to sew something from a left over sweater of mine for Emily. I cut out the pattern, cut the sweater apart and started to cut out the parts. Well, there really wasn’t enough fabric - even if I had cut the arms correctly…. But I do like the result, and I guess there has to be some interesting results along my learing curve.
I also bought this thingy to make .. well, I don’t know what they are called and I neither know what to use them for. However, they are fun to make while watching James Bond. Do you have any good ideas as to what I should use it for?
It’s easter and both my kids are gone. My oldest went to my father on Friday, and today I took my youngest to my mom. They’re only staying a couple of days - or so I hope. I was in for a real treat - I got a a new scarf and some new socks. The scarf is made by yarn that is already preknitted and it’s about 1 - 1,5 inches wide. The color is really gorgeous.
And a little easter monster living with us:

Den overdelen ble knalltøff. Flott gjort. Og de hestetømmene kan du bruke til å lage pynt på noe som er strikket. Enten ved å nålefilte på før toving, eller bare sy fast. Lykke til!

Vi brukte dem faktisk som hestetømmer da vi var små (i gamle dager). Da var trådsnellene av tre, og med fire stifter i toppen kunne vi strikke dem så lange vi ville.
Jeg brukte en slik dokke til å lage bånd som jeg flettet sammen på skuldrene på en genser, det var ganske fint.
I påsken strikka jeg slike med 4 m og bare på retten, da blir det en rund snor. Så tok jeg dem en og en inn på en pinne mens jeg la ut noen masker i mellom hver. Fortsettelsen ble et pent lite skjerf, men jeg har ikke kommet til slutten ennå.

The new-thingy you bought can be known as a spool knitter and you can use it to make hats, scarves, animals, bags and many other things. Be as creative as you like!
I found this which might give you a few ideas:
