Hyvästä ohjeesta on moneksi!

No niin, vaihdetaan kieleksi suomi nyt, kun kevään SNY-kierros on alkanut. Työstän virallisesti edelleen sukkia kerho-ohjaajille, mutta hiihtolomareissulle piti keksiä helpompaa mukaan otettavaa. Ja koska tyttären Unikkokauluri Ullaneulesta on ollut useammin käytössä hänen lelukaninsa mekkona kuin tyttären kaulaa lämmittelemässä olen jo kauan sitten luvannut tehdä kanille oman.
Jemmasta löytyi vanhaa "vintage"-lankaa 90-luvulta (vai onko peräti 80-lukua, en tiedä, koska sain nämä kerät kaverilta kymmenisen vuotta sitten). Sama värimaailma kuin kaulurissa, joskin valkoisempi. Samalla tavalla tein kuin kaulurin, lopetin taas ennen viimeistä lisäyskerrosta. Ja sitten tein vielä olkaimet omasta päästä.

 

 

Tänään sitten tuli heti uusi tilaus, kanille haalarit... En taida... no, katsotaan miten käy!

 

 

A good pattern can be used for many things, like the cowl I made for DD from Ullaneule. As the cowl was more in use by her toy (as dress), I now finally made bunny her own dress. 

SNY2014

I decided it was time for another round of Secret Knitting Friend last autumn. Well, it turned out I was one day too late to join. But now the Finnish SNY Spring2014 is about to start. I'm so excited! (Have charged up for this half a year now...) Soon, very soon, I'll get to know to whom I get to put together packages this spring, and can start planning! Will blog the SNY parts in Finnish, with an English summary like last time, I guess.

Socks and Moomins

Project Knit Socks for all Teachers at DD's playschool progress! Now 3/4 ready! This time a pair of Kalajoki Socks (link in Finnish, can be found in English on Ravelry), size female, approx. 82 grams of Novita Nalle Taika yarn. Simple pattern due to the variegated yarn (which I chose because it had the perfect colors for the teacher who will get them). Still not a pattern that I managed to learn by heart, though, due to some assymmetry of which I do not completely understand the necessity. Anyway, good pattern, nice socks, and perfect color so I'm happy!

Also adding a sneek peek of some Moomins... Found the book Mukavat Muumiamigurumit (in Finnish) at our local library and decided to make some for my kids. So far three figures ready, but Little My was MIA during the photo session. And I have not yet got to buy eyes and some wire for dad's stick, so they're not complete yet.

 

Quite good patterns, I think. Detailed, not too simple. Could have made these up myself but they would not have been this good. Dad's made of Novita Kotiväki, the others from scrap crochet yarn from my crochet period (1983-1995). The thin yarn made the project a bit more challenging at times, I do recommend at least Kotiväki-thickness. Now moving on to the next character, taking a small break in the sock project (deadline end of May - I think I'll make it!)
