strik i skumringen

Things are slowly returning to a closer to normal state. And to celebrate that I managed to get downtown and join the rest of the gang for the usual Tuesday Knitting. It was great.
I brought the baby so the actual knitting progress wasn’t impressive but it was great seeing everyone again.
And the knitted Fiona’s Top [...]

Normally, I don’t have a problem parsing written patterns at all. Getting started on Pine proved to be quite difficult but I can hardly blame the pattern for me being less-good at brioche stitch. Nevermind, I have passed the line of “having to rip out and start over because I missed something” and it seems [...]

And then I passed out on the 14th (I got up too fast) and broke my left wrist.
It’s a Colles Fracture Type II and I’m in a cast till the 17th
So we’ve set up camp on the living room floor so I won’t have to carry the baby anywhere. And my Fiona’s [...]

For my birthday my husband got me the Amimono booklet and (although I’d told him not to) some Isager yarn.
The yarn will not be used for anything from the booklet though. Rather, it is going to become a dress and a cardigan for the baby. I’ve decided on Sanne B’s designs and got them promptly [...]

A big one this time.

And somewhat belated. Dicte was born on the 2nd of February at 8.22 in the morning.
And she is plumping up already:

Being on maternity leave leaves time for things that the Danish winter doesn’t really leave room for if you work full-time. Such as taking progress shots. And shots of FOs.
There’s been more knitting going on lately, though I cannot begin to hope to match my mother when it comes to productivity. She’s celebrating her impending [...]

It’s been quiet on the blogging front. And on the knitting front. I got pregnant in May and have been even more prone to dooze off than normally, something that’s really put a dent in my knitting time.
 
However, things are slowly turning around now and I’ve picked up the pointy sticks again. And what am [...]

I haven’t blocked it yet, but I did take care of all the loose ends.
Slå-Om Vest (Wrap-Around Vest) with a choice of pins.

More pictures after the cut.

I was bad last weekend. I was unfaithful.
But I had good reason. See, I was almost done with my ribbed vest. I just lacked the last third of the back and the blocking and sewing. But then it got really warm and it’s no fun sitting with your hands full of wool when it’s really [...]

Actually, it’s quite a while back now, since we moved in in February, but it took a little while for us to sell our flat so we only moved some of our stuff back then instead of all of it.
I wouldn’t recommend that.
Now the rest of our things have arrived and we’ve begun making furniture [...]
