making quick mittens for a lil girl - needa mitten for getting some sorta idea about size. adds up quickly.

silk blackberry pouch





bought pure silk yarn for the first time. want to make a shawl (prably) but in order to learn how to work with this stuff i have made a lil pouch for a friend who wanted some sort of cozy for her newish blackberry. curious as if it fits, hope the measurements are okay:-)

weekend homey shrug

working on a thing planned to be worn at home or with family on weekends - soft cottony stripey shrug. so far, so good. trying to figure out how long is the best, and taking it as a preparation for a pretty ladylike lacy thing

aye, shopping bag







this was started some time ago but could not be a**ed to finish the thing. maybe it needs some lining, will see. a simplish cotton shopping bag.



“delta dawn, what’s the flower you have on?”






“delta dawn, what’s the flower you have on?”


trying to knit a scarf lengthwise. making holes when it feels like the right thing to do.


the recipient is preschool, so it has pink flowerettes.


there are 4 of them and they are on both sides, hate one-sied scarves:)


ronda yarn is interesting and soft although it changes a bit when you for example unpurl. nor suitable for beginners methinks. (using the schilf colorway)

fittens fit





fittens aka fingerless mittens finished.

made these for myself (prably) - wanted a simpler and a bit sporty look with no frills. used rayon+wool blend yarn. the thing kept tangling but i have conquered:)
