A rabbit doll for E

Busy days. Weeks. We have moved and now live in a flat in a beautiful place not far from where we lived before. But today I managed to craft a bit. I made this doll for a friend's son who turned 1 yesterday (and who'll have his very first birthday party next week).

Suddenly

Time.

Suddenly I have a 4 year old.
Suddenly it's April.
Suddenly I've got a new (temporary) job.

Suddenly it seems we shall, finally, move.

It's fine. All very fine, even though today, on Good Friday, it's snowing a bit. We had spring, and now we have snow. It's what we call "April weather".

How about you?

Hi, it's me, Kalle. You just woke me up. Have you got something for me to eat?

too much happiness

Last night it snowed a lot and it continued during the day. We went to visit friends today, Nora and I, and I brought my latest knitting. Fingerless mittens for my sister. I didn't bring the book, but at home I'm reading "Too much happiness". Knitting and reading, that is happiness, right?



Yarn along with Ginny.

My mittens

I'm that kind of person who begins a lot of knittings, and finish few. I don't know what happened around New Year, because since then I've done nothing but picking up old knittings and finished them. There's such a pleasure in finishing things. Those mittens were finished just before the coldest days we've had this winter, and they made their job. They kept my hands warm. I knitted them in thick, soft merino (Malabrigo Rasta).

Felting

Such a cold winter day as today one needs very warm mittens. So I felted this one. I need another one, for my left hand ;-)



I will hold a workshop on wet felting mittens. Tova vantar = felting mittens.

winter-y

We didn't have snow until recently. Winter was really late this year and I was already looking forward to spring when temperatures suddenly fell and it started snowing. Nora is happy about it though.

and I'm back

At home and in bed with a sick child = many books to read out load (and a few for myself) and perhaps a little bit of knitting.




More yarn along here.

Time is flying, Nora is growing.

Yarn along and spring in the air

Do you knit all day long? I don't. I knit on the same thing for weeks (or years ...) because I'm into so many things. Earlier I used to believe I should try to focus on one single thing instead of trying "everything", but over the last years I've come to the conclusion that this is who I am, this is how I do things. I'd get bored if I was only doing one single thing.



So I'm knitting and crocheting. I'm sewing and selling. I'm gardening and cooking and baking. I'm photographing, I'm playing, I'm painting, I'm crafting. I'm beading. I'm ... trying new things. Re-discover old things.

At the moment I'm knitting in Malabrigo worsted, my favourite, and reading. Nora picked the flower. Vitsippa, in Swedish.

More yarn along over at Ginny's.
