Teeny Weeny Set, finished :)

Here they are, so cute, aren't they? I've knitted a baby cap earlier, and this lucky baby is going to have it too! And the cap is made of the same yarn, and the same SKEIN, so altogether this project consumed under 50 g of yarn. Wow!



Footies & Mits:

For: My God-Mother's friend's baby boy
Needles: 3 mm
Yarn: Novita Wool
Consumption: about 25 g

Cap:

Teeny Weeny Set, Mits!

Footies are ready now, and I'm knitting mittens. The first one is ready! So fast... :P

And, I think I even have enough yarn! Yippee!

I've done a baby hat earlier, and it's the same colour.. I could give it away, and knit a new one when we'll have our own baby... :)

Teeny Weeny

Oh my gosh, look at these! I promised my god-mother to knit these teeny weeny footies for her friend's baby boy. This is the first one, and look how small it is! So cute!

Am I late?

Well, as they say, better late than never, so

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY VISITORS!

This Christmas was the last one I spent at home. Of course I'm going to visit my parents every Christmas, but as a guest... I'm not feeling sad yet, but it'll be a big change to live with Jussi all year round instead of living with my parents. After all, I've been living home for almost 19 years already!

My parents still know what's a good xmas present for me :D My Dad actually bought me A SEWING MACHINE! No way! I'm soooo happy :D Till this, I've had to sew with my mother-in-law-to-be's sewing machine, but now..! Happy happy :)

Jussi bought me a book of quilting, and 3 skeins of yarn (as I told you before). He also payed Novita for one year :) He really knows what I like! <3 I didn't manage to knit the Paradoxical Mittens for Christmas, but Jussi said I gave him enough presents anyway :D So I just knit the mittens ready and give them to him when he needs them. Even if there's snow, it's not really cold in here yet...

And, guess what. I just HAD to start a new project (again). I bought 2 skeins of Novita Nalle, brown, and started to knit Panache while staying overnight at Jussi's home :D I'm already done half of it! So, that's about all I had to say this time :) Now we'll wait for new year's eve, then I'll go to Jussi again :)

And guess what... :)





Exactly 6 months! :) <3

Yarn :)

My husband-to-be gave me some money and ordered me to go to a local yarn shop and buy what ever yarn I wanted :D And then I had to gave the skeins to him, and I'll get them on Xmas Eve then. Handy :D

So, I chose Gjestal's Topp Mohair, brown. :)

Phew

I actually read the Little Prince in one day. Gosh I love it!

And. What have I knitted? I've making these yellow-gray -striped footies for my premier bridesmaid. Aaaaaand... Oh, the Paradoxical mittens! One down, one to go.

I just love these short days at school. For example, today I got home around 12! This is living. :D

AND! It's SNOWING! YEEII! A White Christmas isn't that impossible anymore, is it :D

New books! Nouveaux livres!

They are here! Wow! It didn't take long, did it?

As I told you before, I bought a lace crocheting book (Hildegard Åstrand's Pitsinvirkkaus). And, I bought The Little Prince, written in French! So the name of the book is actually Le Petit Prince. I really like this one! Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a genious..!



Absolument magnifique, ce livre! Peut-être le meilleur livre français que j'ai lu! J'adore cette naïve façon d'écrir, de raconter une histoire, un conte! Comme nous n'avions jamais vieilli... Comme tout le monde, le monde éntier était dans ce livre. Je l'adore.

Finally. The last period of finnish senior high school (or lukio here in Finland) started today. AMAZING. 13 periods altogether, almost three years... Wow. I don't have that much courses anymore = more time to knit. :) Though, matriculation exams are coming again, I'm a little nervous, but not too much, yet.

So. I continued knitting the Paradoxical mittens for Jussi. I'm not quite sure if they are big enough... Well see.

Oh, and guess what I bought.



Hildegard Åstrand's pitsinvirkkaus (lace crocheting). Happy happy! :)
