I finished my son's sweater. Well, almost. I need to weave in threads and sew/iron on Lightning McQueen. My son has already seen it and wonder when it gets so cold he can wear it. I really hope it's going to be a long time before summer leaves. I want the summer weather to last a couple of weeks longer. Jeg er litt for flink til å melde meg på alonger, og meldte meg på to til. Den ene er Bruk boka di-alongen, og går ut på at man skal bruke en av strikkebøkene sine og strikke noe derfra. Helst skal man også bruke garn fra garnlageret sitt. Jeg fikk nylig boka Kæk og klassisk Børnestrik av Lene Holme Samsøe. Der var det masse fint og tulla vil omtrent ha alt der. Jeg startet på Pilespids, og nærmer meg slutten. Bruker også garn jeg har hadde, selv om det ble kjøpt i Kristiansand tidligere i ferien. 
I am too good joining alongs at the moment, and I signed up for two more. One of them is Use your book-along, and you're supposed to use one of your knitting books and knit something from it. The best is to use from your stash, but you're allowed to buy yarn. I resently bought Lene Holme Samsøe's book for children's knit. So many lovely patterns there, and my daughter wanted me to knit almost everything in the book for her. I started on a top called Pilespids, the tip of an arrow, and I'm soon finished with it. I use yarn I had, even though I bought it earlier this summer.
Den andre alongen jeg har meldt meg på er OL-strikk. Der skal du velge et nytt prosjekt og strikke det ferdig på tiden OL er. Jeg nølte veldig før jeg meldte meg på her, for jeg har veldig mange WIPs akkurat nå. Lysten tok overhånd og jeg så på det som en fin anledning til å få meg Lady February Sweater. Jeg bruker til og med garn jeg har i lageret mitt, Debbie Bliss sitt cotton angora.
The other along I joined is Olympic Knitting. You have to choose a new project and finish it within the time of the summer Olympics. I hesitated a bit before I joined, because I have a lot of WIP's at the moment. But I got too eager and looked at it as a really good opertunity to get me a Lady February Sweater. I am even using yarn from my stash, Debbie Bliss cotton angora.
Anohter weekly question from Secret Pal 12.

I joined a Teacher swap on Ravelry just before summer and today I picked up my gift at the post office. It was the greatest gift ever! I know I've said this before, but I mean it every time. Seriously! I got two skeins of Happy Feet yarn from Plymouth yarn, two skeins of Malabrigo yarn and a skein from Provence. I'm looking forward to search for the perfect patterns to the lovely yarn. And so much yarn! I also got some candy, some great stickers I can use at work and the kids got their cloth with Tinkerbell and Lightning McQueen. They loved it so much that it's dripping wet right now. They used it in the bathtub this evening. It's such a great package. Love it! A lot of thanks to trustcraztyideas!
I have also knitted on a sweater for my son. I have only the arms left. I knit raglan and use Jaeger Matchmaker.
Well, I don't know, but I have knitted a lot during vacation. I have been away on vacation for a week and I have knitted some. I finished my Dayflower camisole on Tuesday, but didn't steam it before today. It fits perfect, and I just can't wait to use it. 
I also knit on an order in Kid silk, which is a really time consuming work. And I got some knitting books in the mail. I ordered them through Interweave knits, when they had a big books sale. 
I was on a good roll with my Tour de France-contribution, but then I was starting the accent cord. I realized the camisole was too big. Now I have frogged the top again. This is really getting annoying. I've cast on fewer stitches this time and hope it will fit. I don't give up that easy. 
Here so far I have knitted after I started again.
I have had the time to knit a pair of tiny babysocks as well. This pair is for my nephew. I'll knit a pair of mittens and a scarf as well, I think. I have used Sisu, which I got as a secret pal gift from JSV. 

It's been a week with really great summerweather, sunny and hot. Great to get some sun for us living north. I have done some knitting in the sun. I'm starting increasing on this
