Knitting Travels

It is hard to tell by the picture what it actually is?

But it is in fact a crochet portable DVD player holder!.

It has a pocket on one side for the movies and the other for the battery pack. The central part for the player.

It only came in some dodgy packaging(no case and white plastic), so no protection(no adult jokes here!) so I thought I'd crochet one. Its international as I began in Sweden, did some in England at the air port and then finished the knitting part on the beach in Spain. And finally stitched it together back home in Sweden.

So my traveling Dvd now has an official traveling case.

Knit Cafe

Every Tuesday I go to a knit cafe (Well I try, more like every other) At Gino's cafe in Stockholm. Each week there are always new members, people on their holiday just passing through and always some of the regulars.

They don't mind that my daughter (who has to tag alone if Dad works late) and I don't speak Swedish. My daughter tells me whats going on, as she can speak and understand quite a bit. The regular members are happy to chat in English.

This week a reporter came who writing for Afton Blandet (That is badly spelt Swedish, my apology's) The article about knitting and it's relaxing property's.

So we had our photos taken by an extremely handsome photographer and I hope they just put Monet's in the paper because my knitting went completely wrong and she stole the show with her portable knit machine that she had brought alone. My purl 2 knit 2 ......whilst I was trying to be cool calm and collected and not blush too much. As I was actually thinking about how cute the photographer was and not knit, purl!.

Yet another funny knit experience I wanted to share.

Crochet

Crochet commissions

I think this is the third that I have crocheted using the fire fly Ribbon yarn(Emma!:-), it's silky slippy and does not get any easier, but I love the finish. It looks like an expensive scarf, that will go well with any outfit.

Monet's Creative corner.

My daughter has yet again followed in her mums foot steps and using her kiddies knit machine has managed to create this great little dress for her TY babies.

She really is a chip of the (not so old!) block.....

Twins

Think that's its time to give up on the baby hat phase. I managed two small beany's (OK for boys!)

But the trouble is that they are going to be for 'to term' twins not prem one's so!!!

Back to the drawing board! I figured they would look just as good on twin teddies, I just need to find the right size.

This week I have been mostly knitting?

This week I have been making baby hats, well trying to! think they are coming up a little teeny tiny and a bit more prem baby,than new born. I have to work at the pattern making and maybe find a tiny pattern instead of all this free style. My daughters happy as giraffe got the 1st attempt and now I'm on the 2nd.

Repair

My fab and favourtie slippers, I wore them out, they got holes In, having worn them so much. So I needed a repair job!

That i managed by adding an extra peice of crochet. So now they are back on my feet, no holes.

Titled, My skin and with in.

Knit and crochet samples make a patch work of what is meant to look like skin on a frame of metal garden wire that was similar to my torso measurements. The belt had to be used to support the wire structure as the knitting/crochet that surrounds the frame inside and out was heavier than I expected.
