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.

Ghost hottie pattern update

The Josi-crew accepted the hottie, and Norvegian and English versions have been mailed to beta-testers.

For the French, I had to call for backup. Hopefully Siri will come to my rescue after testing the Norvegian pattern.

bedtime stories

Last night my toddler did not want me to sing her good night, and she did not want a story. Instead she touched my heart by asking me to bring my knitting to her bedside.

A cunning plan indeed. Instead of the usual few minutes, she postponed sleep a good two hours before I remembered to tuck her in. Luckily her gran was here to let her sleep in this morning. And I really appreciated the two hour knit and chat.

Oh, and what did I knit? A soul-warming ghost hottie that I will probably present for the Josi crew next week.
