Socks 23/14/08 "Mary Jane Slippers"

Socks 21/12/08 "Drops 102-15"

..and the second pair for June KAL ist finished. The pattern cannot be seen that good on the pic, but it is the one required.
At the moment I'm not so quick in knitting, since I'm sufering from an infection in my right shoulder and that doesn't give me any possiblity to do more than a few stitches daily. But I hope, it will be better soon. The next KAL-challanges are already in progress, but it will pobably take a few days longer.

best things are free...8

..this is the result of hard work during last week and the reason, why I don't post any knitted projects at the moment. My whole garden is a complete desaster and I wasn't able to get it fixed by my own. So my dear friends and neigbors G. and U. helped me to change this djungle into a garden. Well, I'm not finally finished yet, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. - Both pics are taken from the same place, yes, really..

Thank you so much for being such good friends.

Eye Candy Friday


..with this lily from my garden I wish you all a nice and sunny weekend.

Eye Candy Sunday..


...actually supposed to be posted on Friday, but now it is Sunday. This rose grew in my garden and shall make your start into the new week. Hope, the weather is better at your place, here it is raining, raining and raining.....

Socks 18/10/08 "Uzumaki"

... here you see the finished Uzumaki socks. Well, I modified the pattern and adjusted it to my preferences. First I knitted top-down, I used a small cuff and then I continued the pattern on top of the foot, since I found the original looked some kind of cut-off.

Material: Calzino sportivo with dpn 2,0 mm

Cakes for the Weekend

I found the inpiration when I looked through my cupboard. Here is what I made out of the incredients I found: apple cakes with walnuts and dried fruits with trail mix. Very yummy with some whipped cream and of course a nice cup of coffee.
As I went through Ravelry I found some inspiration around a number of bathroom-accessories. And I created this backsrubber. The middle part is knitted with two threads and I used "falling stitches", well: 1. row: *k, yo* repeat across the row, 2. row: k all and let the yo fall down. Repeat always these two rows. The handles are crocheted as well with double thread.

Knitting/crochet time: May 10th - May 13th 2008

Material: Schachenmayr Catania and Rellana Adina, 100% Cotton, with needle 4,5 mm and crochet hook 3,5 mm.

Socks 15/08 & Mothersday

This years Mothersday gift. My Mum always appreciates selvknitted socks. These are made from yarn, she already gave me some time ago. And as she loves little deco-articles, I painted a wooden flower matching her room decoration. All together with some sweets and of course a card made a nice parcel to be sent.

Knitting time: green socks already last year, beige socks: April 27th - April 30th 2008

Material: both yarns unknown. For the green ones I used dpn 2,0 mm and Garter Rib from SKS page 37. The beige ones are knitted with dpn 2,5 mm and Basket Wave Rib, SKS page 55.


Happy Birthday

.... this is the gift for my neighbor and friend U.'s 60th birthday on May 7th. I chose colors matching her new kitchen perfectly, and her husband G. already requested them as washcloth. Why not, but then it needs a different color....hrm..I think his birthday will be in June...
