Vad har suttit på virknålen de senaste dagarna? Jo först en korg för alla småprylar. Jag ska ha den i pysselrummet för det verkar som om saker multiplicerar sig av sig själva därinne. En av mina favoriter är saker man kan stoppa andra saker i. Så en korg. Hoppas att det också innebär att det blir fantastisk ordning och reda i mitt pyssel rum!
I have a break from the blanket making, but I have to say that it is lucky I have made so many earlier as we have had no heating for a week so it has been nice to have a blanket mountain to sit under.
What have been on my hook lately then? Well firstly a basket for all those small bits and bobs that seem to have a life of their own and multiplies behind your back. This is for my craftroom where it is particularly bad at the moment. I really like things you can put other things in so a basket! Hopefully this means I will get in top of some of the clutter and mess!
Har också virkat klart Albis dödskallesjal, hon blev mycket nöjd. Denna gången använde jag mig av den rekommenderade kanten och det blev väldigt bra. Ska spara mönstret i mina gömmor för jag tror att det blir en bra filtkant också. Kommer nämligen troligen inte att kunna hålla mig från filtvirkandet någon längre stund.
I have also made a skull shawl for Albi. She is delighted. This time I used the recomended border and I like it. I will keep it safe, I think it will look nice as a border for a blanket. I know I can only stay away from the blankets so long...
En rolig överraskning för mig: i somras köpte jag en kaktus på loppis (visst är det underbart vad man kan hitta!) och nu blommar den! Har aldrig haft en blommande kaktus förut! Nu ser den stor ut, men kaktusen är stor som en guldtia och blomman som ett risgryn - men det spelar ingen roll! Den blommar och den är otroligt söt.
And a nice surprice for me. I bought a cactus at a car boot sale last summer (it is wonderful what you can find!) and it is currently in full bloom. I have never had a cactiblossom before! It looks big at the picture but the cactus is the size of a pound coin and the flower is blig as a grain of rice. Not that it matters! It is in bloom and it is very pretty.
Gorgeous post! Those purple skulls are magnificent, I really want to make one! The basket is lovely, so pretty and useful! Chrissie x
SvaraRaderaHi Chrissie, thank you for your kind comment! I have found an english version of the pattern here: http://kungenomajkis.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/virkad-doskallesjal-med-monster.html ,it is slightly different around the eyes than the pattern I used, but I think you will have pretty much the same end result. It is a joy to make, I can really recommend it! x
RaderaBeautiful basket, shawl and floers !

The pink and aqua of the basket is lovely! A pretty way of organising! My craft room is a disgrace - when the kitchen is done I will have to get it sorted!
SvaraRaderaAnd pink skulls... I think Claire's sister would like this even more!
