Hello and Happy Easter

My scarf is finished! I finished it last weekend in fact, and I didn't even use up all the yarn. But I did use almost all of the two skeins of Sandnes Kitten and Mohair in 4622.

It measures 158 cm long and 15 cm wide, just enough to have twice around my neck.

Lately Valmin has started begging, he'll jump onto the sofa and stare at me, I can't resist and give him a pellet. Next I will try and coax him to actually get in my lap to get the treat, Mimle does that but Valmin is still a bit skittish.

Oh, and here is my bouquet. Not finished yet, I need more flowers and more leafs. I really like the dark pink one, think I need to make more of that one.

If anyone wants to make some for me let me know, it is still not too late.

I have started knitting,even if I suck at it, but practise makes perfect so I consider this practise, which is why it will turn into something for me. This yarn was on sale at Nille so I bought four skeins, I hope to make a small shawl or triangle scarf for myself. I LOVE the colour, matches my pantyhose and socks right?

That is how far I was when I was halfway into skein one about ten cm, I have now finished skein one but it is too dark to take a proper photo and it is almost 25 cm long :) I will just continue knitting it until it is a proper triangle, and then I hope I have enough yarn to crochet a border.

Mimle is however not pleased, this is the look I get when I DARE to pet her whilst she is eating a snack... But today we vacuumed so I hope we will see some binkies later by both bunnies:)

Oh, and happy easter, I will try and make something easter-y one of these days.

I am busting my knee with all this stash busting

Remember the yarn we found amongst my mothers stash that moved into my stash?

Well I didn't dally long and I made a small scarf/cowl/thing. I used this pattern, but since I only had about 50 g of yarn mine didn't turn out quite long enough to fold around the neck. So I added a button from my stash and now it is usable.

The colour is somewhat more like the first picture than the others but I just wanted to show you how sunny and spring-y things look around here these days. The colour is something usually referred to as "gammel rosa" in Norwegian which would translate into old pink I think.

The scarf is made of a long since discontinued yarn from Chanterleine called Sissi and is made of a mohair acrylic blend, so it fits nicely in spring., as it is not too warm. Or maybe in autumn as the pink seems more like an autumn pink than a spring pink to me....  I think maybe mum bought it when visiting my aunt since there was a store called Domus there and that is where this yarn was bought... But it does come all the way from Paris.

Anyway, I quite like it and I finished it in a day, or rather a night, I got so engrossed in wanting to see how long it would turn out with only 50 g of yarn. Which was 60 cm I might add and 55 rows.

I liked the pattern and am now going to make another in the Sandnes Kitten Mohair yarn I bought at mums last week, and since I have 100 g I think this one will actually turn into a proper scarf. Although that means I have to buy more Mohair yarn to make the "englemaske" shawl I wanted to make, but that is ok, if I use two or more yarns I can buy one new and at this rate that might happen sooner than you'd think. Also I think these scarfs would make excellent gifts and they are easy enough to make while watching TV but decorative enough that people will actually wear them;) I hope. And buying yarn for presents is always  allowed no matter how big your stash is.

I have to go, I have a bunny nipping at my ankle to get my attention. It is cuddletime.
