Pink beanie hat

I have chrocheted a couple of pink beanie hats. This one is for one of my little nieces. In the craft-shop we found some fun letters I have stiched on.  

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

Black fingerless glove - Chanel style

I wanted to show you the third pair of gloves I have chrocheted inspired by Chanel RTW Spring 2014.

I stiched on silver thread after I finished chrocheting

 

 

 

  

 

Chanel choker DIY

This is another choker I made. I stiched on metal chains from old jewellery I don't use anymore.

Choker - Chanel style

I am always cold in winter. Norway can be a pretty cold country to live in at times and we all have put on a lot of warm clothes. But I also have to put on a lot of extra clothes in spring and in the autumn, so adding all those monthes together, I am actually cold most of the year.This is why I have thought a lot of how I can dress in something pretty when it is freezing most of the time.
At work I like to use suits like blazer/jacket or blazer/trousers. Under the blazer I use shirts or blouses, and since it can get quite chilly in the neck/throat area, I tend to use scarves or snoods. Not a bad word about snoods - but they are not excactly elegant are they?
Looking at Chanels RTW Spring Collection 2014 I noticed these thick, wool, chain choker-necklaces, and I realized that these chokers just have to be nice and warm to wear.  Of course, I had to make my own version. I have made them with wool (non-itchy) yarn, and the result is - nice'n warm. No need for snoods every day! And folks; this is EASY TO MAKE. It is just dc's all the way. I will post some guidelines on the page Chrochet Patterns.




 

I used 3 different kinds of yarn including a thin satin-ribbon. Chrochet needle no. 7.

The striped version. I stiched on a part of an old necklace.

 

 

National knitting-event

Tonight they are having the national knitting event on one of the Norwegian tv-channels. They are actually showing a programe about knitting for 12 hours - straight.

You just have to be inspired don't you ! So I had to work on some of my knitting projects, trying to finish them as quickly as I can.

This is a scarf I am knitting with soft and delicate cotton thread and thick knitting pins, number 6. It makes the scarf lovely and soft. I thought I would make a snood. Hopefully finished before the end of January when I am in desperate need of something green that reminds me of spring.
By the way; this is some of the easiest thing you can knit. You don't have to worry about following a pattern or anything. It is excellent when you want to watch your favorite programe on tv; you don't have to think, just knit !!

Happy knitting everyone.

Yarn; Sandnes Garn; Mandarin Medi, knitting pins no 6.
