Longies

As it turned out, it was too hard for me to send away any of my UFOs. But revisiting the Basket of Limbo I finally finnished some of them. Knitting second mittens, sewing in loose ends... and happily finding new recipients for all the outgrown children's stuff.

These longies were originally cast on two years ago, the same week we moved into this appartment. Now I will gift it to a neighbour, and hopefully the embroidered name and appartment number (not shown in the photo) will make it a keepsake to remember our happy years here.

UFO-exhibition

The people at Norsk Trikotasjemuseum (The Norwegian Knitting Industry Museum) are preparing a display of unfinnished knitting. In today's local paper they invite you to send them your UFOs and UFO-histories.

UFO: selbu something

Abandoned for six months, and destined for a future as teddy bear stuffing, this piece of a selbu mitten resurfaced a few days ago.

The second mitt was lost somewhere along Bergensbanen, and this one has been harvested for yarn when making a cap for Jenny. But the remaining pattern is still so pretty, I want to make something out of it... perhaps a pocket hottie?

I need to do some thinking. But for now, it is repromoted from the scrap bag to the UFO basket.
