Kisakuumetta / Olympic fever

Ensin tarkeimmat: pipoja on vaihtanut omistajaa.

Riikka sai pipon Kristalta:


Ja DistantKnitter Hannalta:


Hienoja pipoja! Olen paivittanyt samalla PipoGallerian, kaykaapa kurkistelemassa.

Pahoittelut kun kesti nama paivitykset. (Koitan muistaa paivittaa listaa tuohon palkkiinkin.)

Omalla rintamalla on neulottu ne mietiskelysukat:



Ei ne niin kivat ole kuin ne ensimmaiset, muotopuolet ja rujot Isoveli-sukat, mutta ihan kivat kumminkin.

Olympialaistunnelmiin on virittaydytty myos taalla. Poydalle kasasin Inspiraation, Langat, Puikot ja Ohjeen.


Ohje on omasta paasta, siis otin sielta taalta ideoita tuosta ihanasta kelttikirjasta ja sovelsin merinonlopuille, joita paidasta vahan jai. Langan pitaisi riittaa, mustaa ja punaista on (samaa varjayseraakin) jaljella viela noiden nottosten lisaksi kera kumpaakin.

Nyt mie meen sit noita kilkuttaan. Katotaan mita tulee.


First, the most important thing: more caps have been exchanged.

Riikka received hers from Krista:


And DistantKnitter from Hanna:


Really fine hats! I have also updated The CapGallery, go take a look at all the caps.

I'm sorry for the delays in updating the cap exhchange info. I'll try to remember to update the sidebar also :)

As for me, I knitted the socks I mentioned yesterday:


They're not as nice as my first pair of socks of this yarn (which were truly ugly and badly knitted), but I like them all the same. (The yarn is Novita Isoveli Color, a medium/bulky Finnish superwash yarn.)

The Olympics have begun officially, so I dug up my Inspiration, my LO yarn, my Needles and my Pattern.


The pattern is my own, I adapted various ideas of the Celtic design book and altered them to suit my merino yarn that I had left over from the red sweater. I should have enough yarn for a pair of mittens, I still have 1 ball of each color (in the same dye lot even!).

So I'm off to get started on the mittens. We'll see how they turn out :)
