Updating... Finally

It's been like a million years since I last posted anything. Well, now it's about time, isn't it? :)

I'm actually planning to have a new blog since this one is quite old and.. forgotten :D I will post the new address here when I've managed to accomplish this great mission...

But now! I haven't posted a single photo since October... But that doesn't mean I haven't knitted anything... So, it's a quite job to upload them all!

Summer, fall...

So, it's been a while (again), I've been staying at my parents' house and working :) I haven't had much time to knit, since I had my summer studies. But now they are done and I only have 3 working days left!

The gown was a succes, and I'll post photos of it as soon as I get home. During the summer I've managed to knit 1,5 pairs of socks, one pair for me and another for Jussi. The 362 Blanket is doing quite well, but I'm a little behind..

So no photos this time, but soon! On Thursday I'm heading to my home in Tampere (I'm super excited, I've missed home so much!).

My second year at the university of Tampere starts on 1.9. and I'm very excited about that too :) I'm planning to have all my 3 years studies completed in 2 years, so it's going to be a busy, BUSY year! (But not too busy to knit, and besides, it's Christmas in like just 4 months, got to knit like a million pairs of socks anyway).

And! Because it's fall already (it's cold enough to be fall, no matter what the calendar says), it means that there's going to me a FAIR! I haven't bought a single skein of yarn since last Christmas, and 19.-21. 11.2010 the Suomen Kädentaidot 2010 fair is held at Pirkkahalli! Yummm!

So, lets hope that I have enough time to update a little bit more often.. :)

Updating

It's been a while (again) since I last posted... But anyway, I've been kinda busy with my summer studies, and now it seems to me that I really CAN manage all the stuff I'm doing... So, now I've got some time for knitting, too.

These Spring Socks are basic socks with a little cable rib.

And here's my pride: the 362-blanket is now halfway done! 181 blocks...



Phew!

I've also been sewing, I've made curtains and a skirt (for my sister), and now I'm sewing an evening gown for my husbands reserve officer course party herd in 3.-4.7. I'm almost done! I'll give you pic's as soon as I'm ready. :)

Vacation!

So, the last exam's over and now I have time to knit and sew!

It's been a while since I finished this one (27.4.), but anyway:

And! I've finally bought the fabric needed for my ball gown! I just fell in love with it, and now it's mine! And, I also found another piece of fabric for a summer dress to be worn in Jussi's cousins party. Yeah! I just love to sew :)

Spring sewing

Every spring it's the same thing. My yarn feels too warm, and I just HAVE to sew something.

So, I've made that spring coat I've been dreaming of:

And, these summer capris are for my husband. Just basic staight trousers, only shorter.

Socks, socks... And sewing!
