Babyblanket in progress

Mimle hates it when I put stuff on her floor. The blanket now belongs to her. But I have done 15 of 25 squares, This year I decided to make small things to have more finishes and practise making clothing, I hope to have lots of fun but I do hope a lot of people have babies this year;)

Happy Merry Valentine

 And in Norway today is also Mother's day! Yay. So happy Mother's day.

Aishiteru anata. <3

M and I celebrated a little yesterday too, since he had forgotten my present at the post office. I got a lovely bunny calendar and chocolate. Bunnies gave me a mothers day present too, a heart bowl to put my candy in.

only in white, my mother also got one, but she got the matching mug too and chocolate, the doily and   two heart coasters.

I made fourteen of these little hearts, two for M for Valentines and the others to family for their birthdays which we are on our way to now. Fourteen hearts and one doily helped me to use up 97 grams of yarn. ^^ Mostly scraps and Søstrene Grene cotton.

Bunnies are not so lovey-dovey today, as they are having a siesta and sieastas are best when single apparently. But the other day I caught them playing tag with lots of binkyes and ending with kisses so they are good.

Friday date night

M and I are having Friday date night today with Sushi, Big Bang Theory, The Walkin Dead and X-files.

That is what happens when M come home early, so we pretend Valentines is today. 

I have some gifts blocking for Sunday, but since we are going to a triple birthday I need to make more. Two heart coasters since it is the season and a small doily. So I got to use some of that read yarn after all.

And the -I need these coloured balls of yarn just because I love the colours but I don't have a need for them just yet-  baby blanket is coming along... I like colourful baby blankets and I don't care about gender colours. I like pink so I use pink. I like blue so I use blue. I like these greens and some red and peach would look nice so I used them too. All cotton from Søstrene Grene.

Pancake-day

Today is pancakeday! So we had pancake for dinner and for dessert with cream and chocolate. Yay.

So, Valmin likes tea now and no mug is safe, he jumps up and puts his paws on the mug, draws it nearer and almost spills tea on himself, then he sticks his head into the mug and laps it up.... Sillybun. Other than that he spends lots of time grooming, more than Mimle, which is a shock!

I need to make more krumkaker, because I am good at it and it is delicious. Here is my favorite mug, candy bowl and caketin. We need more nice moments and this was a nice moment :)

Bunday and things

Today is fastelaven, we have a branch with feathers but I slept almost all day with a bad throat so no buns and cream, yet....

Still plodding along on my knit, here is my bought scarf under for size comparison, almost used up 100 grams of yarn already and then I have to learn the decrease. Hehe. Next time I think I will make my increase on every sixt row instead of fourth like now...

And I started some granny squares because I needed something fun and easy. After all granny squares are quite addicting. A baby blanket since I am making baby things this year!

No bunday without buns! Here they are eating rocket, they need separate bowls or Valmin will take his loot and hide from Mimle which always means she eats his lot too!

Knitting Adventure

I am hoping this will turn into a present, because even though I am trying new colours and actually like green I still feel orange is not me so I need to find someone to give this to that actually likes orange...

If this colour were not on sale I never would have bought it, but sometimes it is nice to work with a palette that you normally won't use and I do like the colours especially since it is so dark and cold outside at the moment...

Other than being a present and an easy knit it is helping me get better at knitting, since I am adding a stitch every four rows I am getting better at increasing and later decreasing and the pattern is in English which is a first for me in my knitting adventure so I feel my confidence rising. Yay me.

My wrist is still not back to normal after my fall so I am taking things slowly....

Out and about

I was out shopping with *Kio today, after I stepped off the bus I realized my hat and crochet mitts were missing! And it was blowing a cold wind and snowing too so I had to buy some emergency accessories.... And I fell on the ice so I feel slightly bruised and sore and sorry for myself.

Lucky for me the scarf was on sale, the hat was cheap and the mitts were OK. But I am still a bit miffed, I am going to call the buscompany tomorrow and see if my stuff might be there... If not I may have to crochet a new pair, but the last pair was really slow going....

I have however a new start, I felt inspired by the scarf I bought and decided I should try and make something similar. It is the yarn I bought on Friday! I may or may not have come out of the store with more yarn, but I am not telling. Not until I have a finish. Although my justification for this new start is that I only have one knit started and that is a hard one, so an easier knit was needed! Especially after my fall!

Bunnies love their new carpet. Guess which bunny is the biggest!
