Yes, pigs can fly, sometimes :-)

Several years back I gave up knitting. I even gave away the rest of my yarn and knitting needles - that was how determined I was. My arms hurt, and it was not that fun anymore.

Last year I bought some yarn in Canada, as well as bamboo knitting needles, and I found I can knit a little again.

The preemie hats and booties are my only finishes for May, and I will donate them to Amandaprosjektet.

I had decided on not having more knitting yarn than what could fit in this small Ikea box. I guess I have to get busy, as DD2 did some yarn shopping for me today, and got a bit carried away - she came home with 4 balls of soft baby wool instead of 2 balls :-)

The bigger balls of yarn I have are sock yarn, not suitable for tender baby skin. I love wool socks in the morning, during winter.

The baby hats are the most fun to make, and I am playing around with lace knitting and braids, and they are finished in a few hours. I also like the thought of warming some wee babies and their parents with my work.

I will do sewing machine work again tomorrow -
I love patchwork and quilting the most :-)

  2. You seem to be spreading joy all around.........

    Love the hats.... I knit caps when I am to tired to think. One simple pattern that I have and it uses up excess yarn...........

    You will be up and about again soon.

  6. I love the pumpkin hat!

    Så flink du er, jeg klarer ikke strikke i det hele tatt jeg. Men det er jo deilig å lage noe annet en gang i blandt også....

    Håper du blir fort frisk. ^^

  7. You are a multi-talented person....with such lovely quilting and knitting as well! I enjoy "mindless" knitting and it relaxes me as is a pleasure, but i am just a "wanna-be" quilter! Hope you are feeling better every passing day. (((vonnie)))
