Presents

Today I'm back to normal blogging = yarn & knitting.

First something finished. I made a pair of wristwarmers(?) for my friend H who played the violin at our wedding. She once said that she always becomes cold of her hands while playing and had to buy some wristwarmers to keep her warm. I smiled to myself when she said that for what is better than to knit a present for someone?

Now I must show you something that really took my breath away. We (or actually I) got an amazing wedding gift from Maria and her hubby. A whole box full of yarn, needles and books. First a bag of Debbie Bliss Rialto in a gorgeous chocolate brown and a pattern book.

I immediately started the vest from the bookcover and I must say, that it turns out much better than I ever expected - sooooo soft and even. Me like!

Then there was a bag of Rowan Denim for Indigo Ripples Skirt (scroll down) from Interweave Knits that I have talked about for so long. I might have cast on for this as well.....

As if this wasn't enough there was also a hank of Fyberspates lacewool and it was like she had read my mind, because I was just about to order exactly this colour the night before the wedding.

Isn't it just beutiful!!??
There was also another book that I wanted so I can knit the Olivia-sweater. Lucky for me Garnkorgen doesn't get Luxury Tweed in stock until the end of september. That means another two weeks to knit on my WIP's.

EDIT: I forgot one thing and the most fun of them all....
