What a weekend! What a competition! And yes, I have discovered my bad mathematical skills in the last post, and I've had a good laug! My bad skills with numbers caused several errors this weekend. Not that easy to push the right numbers on the computer, upload pictures of FOs and cast on for new projects at the same time. The Oslo-team ended up at second runner up, and had great fun. This competition could have been really useful if I had stayed away from yarn shops. But I had a weak moment or baby my knitting needles was too hot, and I ended up in the store and bought 450 g yarn. But I have almost knitted up everything. My projects in this competition was: Mittens in Lett Lopi, are going to be felted, Stripy dress in alpaca, Merino Extra Fine, Karisma, Jaeger and Juvel, small woollen carpet in Julia, is going to be felted and a dishtowel in Tuva. Jeg har fått hemmelig venn-pakke inne på Hobbyboden. Tusen takk, hvem du nå enn er. Jeg har ingen anelse, men har jo ikke akkurat fått tid til å lete noe særlig heller. Du kan i alle fall se at garnet kom til nytte. Jeg har kun det rosa nøstet i Tuva igjen, resten er strikket opp. Det fulgte også med te og et lys. Teen ble drukket sent lørdag natt og da brant også lyset.

This is my Secret Pal gift from a nice person at Hobbyboden. I still don't know who, but whoever you are, thank you very much. During the weekend I have knitted most of the yarn, actually I have only the pink skein left. I have to say that I also got some tea and a nice candle, but I enjoyed the tea and a lit candle Saturday night when I knitted as crazy.
I have signed up for a Destash competition at
Finally done with the tights for my daughter. Tights are such a boring knit, but it turned out soft and nice. Hopefully it will fit her next season as well. I have used Merino Extra Fine from Drops.
I have bought Topstykke from Geilsk. It's so delicate and nice, and I hope to finish it soon. I just want to use it, but I'm going to knit for the Destash competition. Unfotunately I have realised this might take time to knit, cause I have already frogged the start four times.
I just have to have a lot of projects going on at the same time, and here's socks for my dad. It's actually a Christmas present, but it's always nice to start early? You learn from your mistakes, or you try to learn at least.
Recently I received a Secret Pal gift, and the yarn, Sandnes alpakka, was so tempting that I just had to find a project right away. My husband wanted mittens, and he liked Odalsmittens. So I knitted Odalsmittens for him. They look a bit odd, long and thin, but it's rib all the way so they are very stretchy. I have one skein of blue left, and I guess my husband will get a hat as well. 

Due to some mathproblems Saturday evening I got around to knit on the wooltights for my daughter. It's just boring to knit thights, but they are warm and useful. This one I'm knitting in Merino Extra Fine from Garnstudio. I might be a skein short on this tight as well. I think I have to refresh my mathskills. 










Some things are just meant to be knitted in numbers. Fishy is obvisioly one of them. My daughter had to get one as well. She chose the colors herself from my stash. Great project to use from my stash.
I'm still knitting on my Retro Rib Socks. I hope to finish them during the weekend. 





Yup, my first toe-up-socks knitted with two circular needles are finished. Had to frog the first attempt, but then I learned to start the increasing for the heel a lot earlier. Knitting the heel was so much easier this time than the attempt with the Godzilla-socks as well. I knitted through the back loop when I knitted two together at the heel and the resault was a lot better. I used Regia Fasett and love the colors. 






My tunica is growing, and I have started knitting the first arm. I'm measuring and trying it on to get it to fit me. I don't like the arms too long, but they can't be too short either. It's a bit hard to get it right since I changed the pattern to raglan. But it's almost finished. I'm really looking forward to wear this tunica.
