where to start? i've wanted to have a knitting blog for some time, and
now seemed to be the perfect time to start one since i finally bought a
camera last week. obviously, there's no point in having a blog about
knitting if you can't show off what you make! but i'm not the kinda
knitter who have a new fo every week. i knit all the time - in front of
the tv, in lectures at uni, at buses and trains and so on - but i
switch between projects all the time. right now i probably have about
ten wip's on the needles... well, yesterday i actually frogged two of
them tho', because i didn't really like them.
however, i do sometimes finish. the last thing was fetching. they're made in rauma 3tr. strikkegarn which is my favorite yarn for mittens and such. in fact, all yarns from rauma are my favorites. you can probably blame my mother for that since literally all she knits is in rauma yarn... plus the yarns are beautiful, give great stitch definition and beatiful and durable garments! anyway, i used 4mm needles and the gauge was pretty much the same as in the pattern. but i modified it a bit since my hands are tiny - only cast on 40 stitches instead of 45.
now off to watch grey's anatomy!
