3 projects. 4 months.






Let's pretend it hasn't been almost 4 months since I posted anything on here and just move on to the knitting, yes?!
These are some of my current projects.
I finished the ipad cover in the midst of studying for my exam last week. It was my companion when I needed a break and nice to have on hand while watching just a little bit more of 'Call the Midwife'.

The sweater is almost done, just need to weave in the ends. I used the Light Sweater pattern from pickles as inspiration since I wanted it bigger and with full length arms. It's big and warm and fuzzy - and not really appropriate for this lovely Spring weather we're enjoying at moment. But it'll be perfect when Fall rolls around.

I started the Top Tee last year but never finished because I wasn't sure about my color choice. Still not sure but its (colorful) presence in my unfinished pile of knitwear was starting to bug me so now it's back on my needles. Here's hoping that I'll fall in love with the colors once it's finished.

Knitting for a baby girl (and her brothers)






One of the families that I used to work for is expecting the arrival of a babygirl any day now. I of course had to knit something for her.  
The top is the Camilla Babe which I highly recommend. It looks complicated but is a super easy knit (only knit and purl stitches).
The hat is a typical Danish (and Scandinavian) baby hat. I found the pattern here: Sweet Baby Cap
And lastly; the crowns for the big brothers. Pattern found here: Circlet

The Rime Frost Cowl




I started this cowl when we had the first rime frost here. I knew I wanted something that was warm, comfy and simple to knit. This cowl is exactly that.





Here's the pattern if you'd like to make one for yourself.
