Scarf in Progress

On the left is the way I transport my crocheting. Make it into a roll, and stick the needle through. Otherwise, long items, like this one, will tie itself to my headset in the bag, coil around my keys and eat my cellphone. This is a scarf I'm making for a friend's birthday today. I will add fringes in turqouise, and hopefully manage to take a picture of the finished product. The scarf is crocheted in half double crochet and a few rows of treble crochet (mainly to keep me from fainting from boredom).

This weekend, I'm suddenly going to Kristiansand to do some pre-production work for this summer's festival. It will be a four hour train ride each way, but that's the only time for knitting/crochet all weekend. I'm not sure if I dare to bring any knitting - I live in fear of the whole thing unravelling by itself while I'm not looking. Crochet is more trustworthy that way :)

I am not able to finish my jacket (mentioned below) because I have apparently done something strange while cutting the pieces for the hood: it does not fit propely. I'm not sure what to do about it, except put it in the closet and forget about it until I get a bright idea.

Instead, I will start on a dress (paying close attention to the pattern this time...), but I expect it will have to wait for about a week.

Finished Vest and New Scarf


On the left is a detail of the finished vest. I am quite happy with it, it turned out more chunky than I imagined, but still very fluffy. I am sure I will use it a lot!

I have now started on a birthday present for a friend - I will remember to take a picture before giving it away this time. I am making a red scarf all in double crochet, with a very chunky yarn called Alfa. It is amazingly soft, and the most perfect colour. I plan on making a little flower pin as well, which will be my first! I'm off to find recipes now...

This is the scarf so far:

Christmas presents!

I am in full present-making mode (when I am optimistic of not getting tendonitis), so I thought I'd give a little hint. Some of you who are reading this will recieve presents, so I won't be too detailed...
