Kåpe og lue / Coat and hat

Før jeg ble mormor strikket jeg masse som datteren min valgte ut. Det er jammen på tide å vise fram noe av det! Først ut er denne kåpa med tilhørende lue. De er strikket i Ara fra Dale. Mener det er utgått nå, men det finnes i alle fall lignende garn. Kåpa strikkes ovenfra og ned, utrolig rask og enkel, tror jeg bare brukte et par kvelder på den. Kåpa vokste nesten med henne, så hun brukte den masse! Verre med lua, den var egentlig liten, selv i begynnelsen...
Blomstene er eget påfunn. Det er de samme blomstene jeg hekler til kortene mine. Her har jeg brukt pastellfarget restegarn sammen med hvit Vivaldi fra Drops.

I have knitted a lot for my little grand daughter. Here is a coat and hat I made for her. The yarn is Ara from Dale. The coat is easy to knit, you start on the top and knit downwards. I think I made it in two evenings. She used this coat for a long time and I loved to see her wearing it :).
The hat was almost too small from the beginning on, so not much used.
The flowers is something I made from leftover yarn in pastel colors together With white Vivaldi from Drops.

 

Som en ser, så er Ara et garn med masse struktur, veldig OK å strikke av.

 

Ara is a yarn with a lot of stuctur, very easy to knit from.

Her er vi på trilletur med kåpe og lue, alltid like blid denne jenta :)

 

One of my walks with her in the carriage, she is a happy girl, always smiling :)

 

I would like to enter Craft your Passion Challenge #251 - Anything Goes with this coat and hat.

Have a great Sunday!

Pulsvarmere/mittens

Her går det fortsatt i julekort om kveldene, det er så gøy, men jeg bruker så laaang tid på hvert....
Kanksje det blir lyst nok til å ta bilder i helga, det er ikke lett nå på denne tiden.

I dag er det bare noen bilder av pulsvarmere jeg har laget. Har fått et trau å ha de i, da er det både pynt og lett å finne de når jeg trenger de :).

I am spending the evenings making Christmas cards, I love making them!
Unfortunately the days are short and dark, so it's hard to take pictures of them.

Today I have some pictures of some mottens I have made. I love to make them using different yarn and different patterns. Most of them are made from different alpaca yarn.

The flowers you see are crocheted, the mittens here are knitted.

The ones with ribbon on are my newest. The yarn is from angora rabbits. My sister gave me the yarn, and I am so happy for it, so warm!! It is beads on them too, but not possible to see in this picture. The pair in the front are made from two different yarn; pure silk and silk mohair.

The coral pair I made during my Florida flight :). The pattern is made by a friend of mine. She has made the two pairs you can see in the bottom of the picture, that's another pattern she has made. The pair with a little edge are crocheted, also the flower.
I love crocheting the small flowers I use on cards.

This is a pair I crocheted for a friend. I made one more pair just like them in blue.

Another pair I knitted for the same friend. I have the same pattern on my grey pair in the third picture.

This is some of the flowers I crochet. I love making them, but right now I have enough for a while...

I still have this box full of yarn, so there will be more flowers and butterflies.....
Butterfly is a new project I have started, so I don't have anything to show you yet.

See you soon!

Cricut kort

I dag har jeg laget et kort hvor jeg har prøvd ut noen nye cricut cartridge. Blomstene som jeg har pynta med har jeg hekla. Jeg prøver meg med i utfordringen på cropstop som er firkanter og die cuts med dette kortet.

Today I have made a card where I have used some of my new cricut cartridge. I have croucheted the flowers. With this card I will participate in the challenge at cropstop which is squares and die cuts.

Here are a few of the flowers I have croucheted. I have made them in lots of colors, so I have some to go to every card :)

See you soon!

The girl is from the cartridge "Forever Young" and the corner swirl is from the cartridge "Home Accent"
