2011-01. I borrowed this at the library yesterday: (Click on the image to go to their website) It's a pattern book for knotted Christmas baubles by the Swedish/Norwegian designer duo Arne & Carlos, two very talented guys. This book, however, left me underwhelmed. It contains one description on how to knit a bauble and 55 different patterns. Quite nice patterns, but I was left with a kind of 'I could easily do that myself'-feeling. So in my opinion it's not worth spending your money on, but check it out at the library, if you're Norwegian! I think I'll give some of them a try though, like these with a reindeer: (Plenty of time for next Christmas..) Or perhaps some of these from Ravelry: And speaking of reindeer, let me show you this old embroidered pillow I found at the local charity shop, quite a bargain: I love the pattern, I think I must use it on some knitting one day. OK, that might just be a deer. The Knitting Curmudgeon. Slip, Knit... Meditate....
Zij maakt het. Crazy Aunt Purl. Weblog van een Breimonster. DameEmma. De kleuren in mijn leven. Goes to local yarn shops and Home Depot. March 17, 2014 March roundup Has it really been more than a month? Wow. My bad. I actually blame the Olympics. On the plus side, watching the Olympics allows some simultaneous knitting, so I do have quite a few things to show you.
