The secret 2011

It`s time to finish the Secret 2011.

I joined in this year too, but had hard time to figure out what to make this time...

Five small fabric pieces and add some applique, the rest is up to each what to sew.

I`m bringing it with me to the family cabin for the summer, hopefully I`ll finish in time...

I`m bringing 2 knits and lots of fabric + stash for the children to get crafty.... and me ;oD

Have a great summer everyone

all the best hk

Purple v-neck cardigan

I`ve finished the purple v-neck cardigan for Kirsten.

It`s a joy to see that she loves it...

We had a great photo shoot last night, after 22 in the evening!

Jepp, a joy...

It`s a Rauma pattern 201R number 8.

I made size 10 years, used 180 g Rauma Finullgarn (thin woll).

Needles: 2,5 and 3.

I`ve also sewn her a trouser to go with the cardigan. 

It`s a Danish Union-pattern bought at Quiltegaarden, the fabric too.

Pattern number: 20022, size 128.

Love this pattern, if you look closely at the photos you may see that the seam in the side starts in the back and cross over to the front, downwards over the knee. Makes an interesting finish ;oD

Enjoy the day in the sun ;oD it`s gone rain later.....

I`m off tho work shortly... 

All the best, hk :)

My first project.....

Working in the candy store makes it hard to not fall for the temptation to by and bring home some goodies...

This lady has a plan...

Had! ehh!### ups! ;oD

My first project was to make a new iron-board cover.....

The children thought it was so fun when I put the iron-board upside down!

I`ve been thinking of making a new one ever since I saw kviltStina had made herself one (enjoy Stinas beautiful blog while looking for her iron-board, I believe it was in the fall 2010! ha ha ha couldn't find it in a hurry! ;oD but enjoy ). Beautiful, love her fabrics. I found the pattern or how to make it in an old "alt om handarbeide" a crafting magazine.

Sewing is a lot easier with a clean and nice iron-board... right ladies?

Sleep tight every one ;oD

Hug hk

You`ll never guess......

Things have been happening around here lately...

Some of my knitting, quilting, sewing and blogging friends already know...

I`ve got a job!

Hurra....

It`s kind off "back to my roots" experience.....

When I moved to Trondheim over 16 years ago! I had just finished 4 years of sew-and textile education.But things changed and I ended up with an pre-school teacher education as well...

Now I walk threw the forest, down the hill behind our house and take the bus to this lovely place...I hear birds in the morning and both sun and rain make my short walk a bit magic...I`ve seen deer (Bambi!) and squirrels passing the road and heard an owl...When I wait for the bus, I watch the waterfall and enjoy the great view on top of our local power station.

Entering this house in good time before opening....

It`s so nice when you come over to me and say: hallo :)

Fabrics, bottons, zippers, tread and more ALL day long, three days a week.

Life is good ;oD

I`ve been up-dating my opam list, still got problems with adding photos to my blog post....

Thank you all for visiting me.

All the best hk

Still Quilting :)

I`m still Quilting!

Let call it S L O W progress :)

I think I might bring this one with me for the summer holidays...

hugs hk :)

Monday knit`in :)

What to do when fever is high, your head is filled with cotton and
your throat feels like it`s filled with broken glass?  

In my case: It`s all about cold relief med`s, lots of tea and knitting....
 I boarded the living room sofa with a good view of the rest of the floor and got some serious knitting done. No sleeping beauty here.... The children gave me goooood space... knitting, voiceless and coughing... they easily got my attention, sitting in the middle of everything :oD

 pooooor mommy....

So knitting it was...

Allllll Mondayyyyy   :oD

The purple v-neck vest for Kirsten and my Sea Blue Rib Delight are coming along nicely...

Just a few cm left....Yey!
Had to try it on.... 

This is how it looks like on the hanger.

Do you see my markers? I love them....
Just the neck left and attach the short arms :)

Thank you ladies for visiting my blog and a special thank to you who live some words behind...
Got lots to tell and some photos to show.... :oD

Till later
All the best hk :)

Hello ;)

Still here.....

I can not believe that over 2 months has passed by! Where did all the days go?


 Still trying to post photos of my beautiful Pink Little Lady...

But obviously not!

Hugs from Hanne

Pink Little Lady

I got a tip on trying to blog from Picasa.... so here I go! Is`nt Pink Little Lady beautiful.... If I can find this pattern in larger size I might knit this model for Kirsten (DD) in xs or something close to 9-10 years. I had a bit trouble to fit the lace pattern into the short rows, but when I "got the hang of it" it`s working great. It`s from Drops design for children/baby number 20. Pattern : 20 - 14. Pin 3,5 and Drops baby wool from stash. YeY!

Have a great evening everyone :) 

All the best hk

Upset!

I`ve been knitting. This is good, loving it! 

Got the plot off short rows... knitting something new, small and pink from stash yarn - very pleased :)

BUT     I`m upset!

   When I tried to blog the beautiful little thing, I was denied! I can not upload more photos for blogging cause my net-album is FULL! The info that followed with the denied sign said I had to BYE more storage space for my net-album! This is how I found out that: every time you upload a photo in a blog-post it is stored in a net-album (blog-connected!). So if I delete some of these photos in the net-album (for making room for new photos!) they will disappear from my previous blog posts!!!!!!

I`m am seriously provoked!     I`m in shock!    GRRRRRR!     

So now what? 

This is not fun for an blog addictive !!! Blogging photos ARE more than half the fun! Is`nt????

I LOVE blog-hopping, looking at what all of you have made, the colors, the patterns, the ideas, going from link-to-link :) Finding something new and exiting. I Love it, there are MANY really great ladies out there making wonderful stuff :)    It`s only natural that I like to show photos of what I make too, right?   Even my lovely HB bought me a new camera for last Christmas so I could post better photos!  (I LOVE him too ;oD )

I`m not a computer genius! I know only a few to-do-things on the computer, so if anyone can tell me how to get back on track I would be ever so grateful.

When that is said! 

The sun is shining from an all blue sky on our new 1/2 meter new snow, my youngest is happily home sick in front of the tv! (thank you soooooo for Disney channel!)..... There is dust everywhere, need to do something about that! The dishes need to bee washed, but I`ve dug up an ufo, I haven't been sewing for weeks! I will at least give it a go with the iron!

My Pink Little Lady knit is here on Ravelry.

All the best, hk :)
