I am happy to send them to you and I would love to see pics of your finished bookmarks if possible. <br /><br />What I am trying to say is that if you would like a copy of my patterns, please send me an e-mail to eva@x3m.com and I will send it to you. I am not in a blogging mood so do not expect any updates here in the forseeable future.<br /><br />Take care,<br />EvaEvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13762158613714882122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552222352370172846.post-28605689964949581662007-02-18T12:08:00.000-08:002007-02-18T12:33:46.272-08:00And mittens I am knitting! Still no photos but I am working on it. I need to get a USB cable as I´m working on the iBook and all the others are in use on the "big" one this household´s computer geek is using. But still.<br /><br />My youngest son doesn´t want to wear mittens on his way to the Kindergarten and on short trips. Only when he´s out playing in the snow he think they´re OK. So I thought he might like a pair of fingerless mitts. And it so happens that he does!!! And he is eager to wear them too! My oldest also liked them so I finished his pair this evening. They are both knitted with . I have also knitted a pair in Opal Flamingo for one of David´s friends that also have a problem with wearing mittens. She will get them tomorrow.<br /><br />OK, I´ll admitt it. I´m kind of intense when I get interested in something. The advantage is that I learn how to do it pretty fast. I am stubborn as well :) And I like to buy books on the subject. I already have gotten Folk Knitting in Estonia by Nancy Bush and have a couple on order. Nothing wrong enhancing my library, right? I have decided that I want to learn stranded colorwork. Especially (right now, solely) in mittens. I want to learn how to knit Latvian mittens! <br /><br />I am knitting my second Selbu mitten right now. The first one is puckered in some places and loose in others. But I love it all the same. It´s my first dabble in stranded knitting. The second is looking a bit better. I will wear my mittens proud! My plan is to finish the second one this coming week. Stay tuned for a photo (and a USB cable).<br /><br />Did I mention my so far lonely glove?Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13762158613714882122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552222352370172846.post-86606624259274004712007-02-06T11:31:00.000-08:002007-02-06T11:35:56.739-08:00My blog has not disappeared. I am in the mids of changing over to Blogger but the thought of moving each and every entry (incl. photos) from my old blog has me left in a good for nothing haze. So I have decided that I will not move the old entries here. They will be lost.<br /><br />For all of you that have been looking for my patterns, please be patient. They will get back up again for you to enjoy :)<br /><br />I hope to blog (with new pictures, I have spent my time well)<br /><br />Take care!Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13762158613714882122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552222352370172846.post-59074288653243465062006-11-29T12:19:00.000-08:002007-01-04T13:47:39.662-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nauRPmitn-Q/RZ11ppnmDZI/AAAAAAAAAAY/GsIaYvKkIqA/s1600-h/Gnom+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nauRPmitn-Q/RZ11ppnmDZI/AAAAAAAAAAY/GsIaYvKkIqA/s200/Gnom+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016294918367612306" border="0" /></a>This little guy wanted to remind you that Christmas is just around the corner!Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13762158613714882122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552222352370172846.post-65392232795222526052006-11-29T00:06:00.000-08:002007-01-05T00:10:04.250-08:00First a fun pair for my niece. She was Christened last Sunday and I decorated her package with the socks. They were a hit :) They are cute as can be with a short leg with a rolled brim and K2 P2. The foot is knitted in garter stitch. I will knit these socks again for sure!<br /><br />Patter: Booties from "Not Just Socks"<br /><br />Yarn: Regia Ringel Color<br /><br />Needles: Crystal Palace US1 (2,25mm)<br /><br />CO-Finished: 21 November - 23 November 2006<br /><br /><br />Then there's the next pair. They are going to be given away for Christmas. I hope the receiptient will like them! These are really a pair for Socktober but I was too lazy forgot to post about them.<br /><br />Pattern: Yarrow Ribbed Socks from "Knitting Vintage Socks"<br /><br />Yarn: Opal Zebra from the Rainforest 1 collection<br /><br />Needles: Panda 2,5mm<br /><br />CO-Finished: 26 September - 27 October<br /> <br /><br />I'm kind of proud of the next pair! They are my first pair of socks that I designed myself. Yes, it's a simple ribbed design but I like ribbing and I especially like when the cuff and leg has complimentary ribbing (can I call it that?). Holler if anybody fancy a copy of the pattern.<br /><br />Pattern: Quickstep<br /><br />Yarn: Trekking XXL 105 (oh, I love it)<br /><br />Needles: CP US1<br /><br />CO-Finished: 25 October - 10 November<br /><br /><br />The last pair today is yet anothe pair for my baby niece Sara. She needed a pair of long and warm socks for the winter and Auntie Eva to the rescue - LOL!<br /><br /><br />Pattern: Class Sock from "Sensational Knitted Socks"<br /><br />Yarn: Lana Grossa Meilenweit Colortweed 1004<br /><br />Needles: 3mm<br /><br />CO-Finished: 22 October - 3 NovemberEvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13762158613714882122noreply@blogger.com
