February FO & WIPs

02:22

 The month started with me attending my very first Baby & Knit event at Skabagtig yarn store in Aalborg. It was so nice to nerd about yarn and knitting again. I was surrounded by temptations, like these mini sock skeins from Hedgehog Fibers. It was so hard not to go crazy but I managed only to buy some merino/ cotton blend for a pair of baby pants.
February also brought a new baby into the world. My friend gave birth to daughter number 2 and I just had to pull out my pink yarn and knit something. I themed lambswool with a strand of hand-dyed yarn (party with glitter) for a perfect hooded hat (design by Pickles.no) that she'll wear when winter comes again. 

It was also the month that winter truly arrived Denmark with below zero degrees and snow - and oh yeah amazing light too. I wore my favourite wool (including my topdown Riddari)
 
I finally finished my top down sweater knitted in lovely merino tweed and knitted Stay soft shawl (by Veera Välimäki  with  some lovely stash yarn - Shetland soft and merino tweed.


I also spend time yarn and knit nerding with yarn mags and my mum. 

UFO/ frogged?
My Miss Rachel's yoke isn't quite right... I'm not sure if I have enough base colour (it was a kit) and the fit is a bit off. Strongly considering unravel and reknit- topdown for a better fit. Really like the colours and the yarn. 

 

Plans for marts
  1. Finished the baby overalls I have on my needles
  2. Unravel Miss Rachel's yoke
  3. Plan next baby knitting project
  4. Decide which big project to start

UFOs

I'm organising my stash and discovered some UFOs. Some, like the pile above, are just missing to weave in some ends or sew on a small thing to be FOs.


A teddy bear that is missing an ear
A hat that need to weave in the ends
A bandana shawl that need to weave in the ends
Slippers that need to be stitched up
Baggy pants that in need of an elastic 


While these are .... ufos... not sure if I'll finish them. 

Baby cardigan in soft alpaca, but I don't have enough grey and I dislike the combo of needles and yarn. 
Half of a baby one piece in need of a second half... seems way to big
Half a baby blanket that can easily be continued...maybe as a gift some time in the future. 
Stash busting baby vest half done, this is I'll be done... some day...
Light flax sweater with other sleeves in a yarn I don't really like as it seems to attract cat hair. Will unravel it and double it up with a nicer yarn for something...
