Anyone still out there?It's been a while, huh? I'm not going to go that much into why I've been awol for the past few months, let's just say that life happened (well, I'll tell you this much, I separated from my husband, and have been living on my own since October. The kids stay with me every two weeks, so all of this is taking it's time to get used to.) This year has been pretty much the crappiest ever, so I'm really looking forward to next year. I'm thinking that it can't suck more than this year. :P One good thing tho, I'm graduating school in a couple of days, so I'm still pretty proud of myself for finishing school in the middle of all this. Aaand that's pretty much all I have for now, I'll try to squeeze in an FO-post before Christmas.Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520881127992403396noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783920088797687590.post-48904138830302058902011-08-08T22:41:00.007+03:002011-08-08T23:10:19.521+03:00We've gone all girly around here.I've always been a jeans girl. Never really cared for skirts or dresses and such. But this Summer I've come in touch with my girly side, and have made, not one, but <span style="font-weight: bold;">two</span> dresses for myself. And I've cut up the fabric to make another dress. And two skirts. :O No, wait, <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">three</span></span><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></span>skirts. But more on those when I actually get around to sewing them... The first dress is a maxi dress, because, you know, maxi dresses are in at the moment. I had problems with getting the upper part to fit, so there kinda is a seam where there kinda shouldn't be one... But you kinda can't tell that from the picture. :D

The next one won't be any better either. :P)
<br />
<br />And if the first dress was a maxi, then the second dress is the exact opposite, it ended up a wee bit too short. :D I kept yanking it down all night, afraid that my butt was showing. The fabric was a pain to work with, especially since the dress has a princess cut both in the front and in the back. Plus I've gotten a wee bit smaller lately, so the dress was too big for me at first. Well, it's my own fault really, I should have made some measurements before starting to cut fabric. Oh well, you learn as long as you live, I guess. :)

<br />And since I have a new-found fondness for zippers that show, I decided to add a big metal zipper to this dress. :)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKWIfUmE72wp3vqU3FXZM7ydZMkmi0rXwYci3hgcG2mv21fKcmUyhV6EJzBMF_Iuyl06OMwaKe4L5-o9-ZHYU0RSGt9-cA2PBotxuHGt21CIKqgy973LpBGPYrIWNaXLojUrT_wxIwRPU/s1600/P8020014.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKWIfUmE72wp3vqU3FXZM7ydZMkmi0rXwYci3hgcG2mv21fKcmUyhV6EJzBMF_Iuyl06OMwaKe4L5-o9-ZHYU0RSGt9-cA2PBotxuHGt21CIKqgy973LpBGPYrIWNaXLojUrT_wxIwRPU/s320/P8020014.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638578122307626834" border="0" /></a>
<br />Last, but not least we have a dress for my tiny princess. She threw a fit the other day when we went shopping, and stupid mommy didn't buy her the princess dress she wanted. But I bought the fabric to make her a dress ages ago, just never got round to it. Until now. The seams are crooked, and the hem isn't all that straight, but she's three, she doesn't notice things like that. And I was in a hurry to get it finished. And it's kinda cute. :)

Five or so hours later we landed on a very sunny and warm Crete. In other words, we jumpstarted our Summer vacation by going to Greece with the kids! For a week we didn't cook, clean or do any other housework either. We rested, ate well, and spent half our time in the pool. I didn't knit a single stitch until the busride back to the airport. :D<br /><br />And because a picture tells more than a thousand words, here are a few to tell our story. :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAUW_IWOFEZj1WRKqgr5FlEvdSZaTQZRdzcb0WZWP-zTHpqXZRLUUG3pJUyj4t_3XLjYwWK7uQY7ruJuRPLXdS85Qear1K3XJicTvzMzcI8pog4OX_uSyxYP8qEJxV0_qzjRKtWj33SmE/s1600/IMG_5733.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Wooohooo! Whee! Two and a half months of total relaxation, aaah... (Yeah right, with three kids running around? So not gonna happen.) I have a <span style="font-style: italic;">ton</span> of stuff to do this Summer, but at least it's stuff I <span style="font-style: italic;">want</span> to do, not stuff I <span style="font-style: italic;">have</span> to do. There's a big difference.<br /><br />(Oh, umm, let's ignore the fact that I <span style="font-style: italic;">should</span> go to school tomorrow and on Friday, shall we? I just noticed today that my brain hasn't functioned for, oh, about a week now, and I made every conceivable mistake on my practice collar. My brain needs a break. And the tiny one has to go to the hospital for allergy tests on Friday, not likely that I'll sit in school that day.)<br /><br />Aaanywhoo, yay, Summer! (See, I'm effectively also ignoring the fact that I can't even go outside without getting the most annoying rash all over, I don't even need the sun for it anymore. And it's gonna be like this until, umm, September or so. I'm just so happy that I don't need to get up and go to school tomorrow morning.)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJrqpVT8cVBh2_DwRe7syRf-UuU4yMQJWMzTcDH7-IVzweVn9eT6ub-eFKnSBrQGCdYwz1uYsv-VPQoP6GhpRt6_N8JXRo_J1_CBwSoODs8kPc3yMSWmrbyFXd4daBHihXfCJaZlBYAy0/s1600/IMG_5712.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJrqpVT8cVBh2_DwRe7syRf-UuU4yMQJWMzTcDH7-IVzweVn9eT6ub-eFKnSBrQGCdYwz1uYsv-VPQoP6GhpRt6_N8JXRo_J1_CBwSoODs8kPc3yMSWmrbyFXd4daBHihXfCJaZlBYAy0/s320/IMG_5712.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612984117925461618" border="0" /></a>Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520881127992403396noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783920088797687590.post-62374988864915440262011-05-24T21:17:00.001+03:002011-05-24T21:17:58.539+03:00I wish drawing was easier...<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/22752396@N07/5755701802/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5070/5755701802_09b4ebd064.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/22752396@N07/5755701802/">drawings</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/22752396@N07/">RainbowDash2008</a>.</span></div><p>So that making just three (yes, three, the last one is old) fashion drawings wouldn't take me all day.</p>Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520881127992403396noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783920088797687590.post-85251116333949563342011-05-15T22:09:00.013+03:002011-05-15T22:39:31.787+03:00Some stuff I've made recently.I'm still suffering from having the crappiest Spring <span style="font-style: italic;">ever</span>, but I wanted to let you all know I'm still alive (if there's still any of you out there.)

Which happens about twice a year. I think I need to go out more, just think how much clothes I'd have if I'd go out, say, once a month. But, alas, I doubt the husband would let me go out that often. :/ I have lots of improvements to make to the next version, but I'm pretty happy with this version too. FYI, lace is a PITA to sew. (I know, I know, the pictures suck once again, trying to take your own picture isn't all that easy. XD The first pic shows the color correctly, the second one is just to show the length.)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh6kFk5WUrWBxNXQWQXDWW6uF0lEZkpIJSaZlRpDWaFqU7nMIe6ziDUvQKeb0Ejf89wpNzV44zPcf-El_OC9XctPBSMtoQMLcGyWaJVWMMkX-pZuJ3AGLWF6nrB9FKAJMbOiu5qHDhuRY/s1600/IMG_5610.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh6kFk5WUrWBxNXQWQXDWW6uF0lEZkpIJSaZlRpDWaFqU7nMIe6ziDUvQKeb0Ejf89wpNzV44zPcf-El_OC9XctPBSMtoQMLcGyWaJVWMMkX-pZuJ3AGLWF6nrB9FKAJMbOiu5qHDhuRY/s320/IMG_5610.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598105770773834786" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmDpPjxdUuK9q8sGG_hout_0VR2RoqDp-rxFtCW8YutUdpZDINnZT9ME9b_EWL0anQTDTHaO-Qckx36spJAu0VWetQhdAdDYuKiHOjoIuwxxCF11fI4nBo37U15q77fkkPe9rY74u2nYU/s1600/IMG_5615.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmDpPjxdUuK9q8sGG_hout_0VR2RoqDp-rxFtCW8YutUdpZDINnZT9ME9b_EWL0anQTDTHaO-Qckx36spJAu0VWetQhdAdDYuKiHOjoIuwxxCF11fI4nBo37U15q77fkkPe9rY74u2nYU/s320/IMG_5615.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598106058098144946" border="0" /></a>Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520881127992403396noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783920088797687590.post-58432692558349457142011-04-08T17:57:00.006+03:002011-04-08T18:41:01.421+03:00Upon requestNo, I'm not officially coming back from my blog break, but some (well, one) of you (and you know who you are) asked me to blog about the corset and dress I've sewn in school. I made a corset for myself, and a dress for a customer. The corset is just a plain black denim, that was about the cheapest fabric I found when shopping for the corset.. But since I had no idea how this would turn out (it's <span style="font-style: italic;">heavily</span> modified), I figured that I don't want to invest a whole lot of money in it. And without further ado, here it is<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMXaACQPq89io7YBkNFNA-cDMg2HXeLzFiouceJXrdpFj0T76ZS2qH6bKXZeWJgyNqqwhBNDR_8Xmxj9mlnDHjQnt8JuEkdbveCSIhfGB-rQRh6BYTF2i0axcJMO-Nfcb-G43qjpK_g6Y/s1600/IMG_3134.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMXaACQPq89io7YBkNFNA-cDMg2HXeLzFiouceJXrdpFj0T76ZS2qH6bKXZeWJgyNqqwhBNDR_8Xmxj9mlnDHjQnt8JuEkdbveCSIhfGB-rQRh6BYTF2i0axcJMO-Nfcb-G43qjpK_g6Y/s320/IMG_3134.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593233397974055970" border="0" /></a>I'm thinking of adding some kind of embellishment to it, so that I know which end should be up and which one down. :D I just haven't figured out what I want to decorate it with. Maybe a flower or sequins or something..<br /><br />The dress is made of taffeta, organza and tulle. You can't really see the tulle in the pictures, but it's there. :) Making the folds wasn't the easiest thing ever, but I think it turned out pretty nice for a first try. :) (Oh, btw, the color is <span style="font-style: italic;">way</span> off in these pictures, the photo studio at school just didn't want to co-operate with me today. The dress is really much lighter irl.)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOw8He_LoxiPi01qQlL7siSIhZgRM4dx9jdeFi0bUda7G8rHFPsMx-nGDnQVY8yYlClgMOnciohm4RTYJ9T5sv12MAwhDusBeHG60QFUcb4RxQxHSH8QOnzkgaCP7uUg3P5O3sefdIVqM/s1600/IMG_3140.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOw8He_LoxiPi01qQlL7siSIhZgRM4dx9jdeFi0bUda7G8rHFPsMx-nGDnQVY8yYlClgMOnciohm4RTYJ9T5sv12MAwhDusBeHG60QFUcb4RxQxHSH8QOnzkgaCP7uUg3P5O3sefdIVqM/s320/IMG_3140.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593237009238278066" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhui7PO1ygm7TMNvUomLL-XBDhNZ73Z7YfMXszFq_l-e9m5QBt1uMmTjXAJ-n66dsTPZi6DkhQls3v_bCc-OHCvTL1W3Ggvxn8mKjOQC2mvjNrTJ6a6hGuhvEQHUKVLZW6lfxz1QOvw6kg/s1600/IMG_3137.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhui7PO1ygm7TMNvUomLL-XBDhNZ73Z7YfMXszFq_l-e9m5QBt1uMmTjXAJ-n66dsTPZi6DkhQls3v_bCc-OHCvTL1W3Ggvxn8mKjOQC2mvjNrTJ6a6hGuhvEQHUKVLZW6lfxz1QOvw6kg/s320/IMG_3137.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593237390960374402" border="0" /></a>Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520881127992403396noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783920088797687590.post-73855678202391804312011-03-12T17:32:00.001+02:002011-03-12T17:34:37.945+02:00Too much crapMental capacity overload.

Due to circumstances that I won't go into here, the surgery has been moved. I was hoping to get it over and done with now, but something's come up, and I'll have the surgery in April. Oh well, I've waited a year, I can wait another couple of months.<br /><br />And on a lighter note, the missing mitten has been found! The husband found it between the wall and the radiator yesterday. Now I can finally finish the pair, yay!<br /><br />I made a skirt and a vest a while back that I haven't showed you yet. I have the worst pictures of them that you can imagine, but I don't have any better to offer either. Oh, btw, they're made from the same fabric, but you can't tell that from the pictures. The color looks right in the vest pictures.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKe1pttP5o6lc4Pzjk9Da5uk8TYJHdsaiSaJV2iaYSiQ1-LAMJV1dhAys8RlaNxulesd_omlA7ocN8v6WlInbt3U4S1eKnU-Z1C7aZ5rhfA2V54dFw9_HSqwpB23BfkF6ubDFOu3jzxPo/s1600/007.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKe1pttP5o6lc4Pzjk9Da5uk8TYJHdsaiSaJV2iaYSiQ1-LAMJV1dhAys8RlaNxulesd_omlA7ocN8v6WlInbt3U4S1eKnU-Z1C7aZ5rhfA2V54dFw9_HSqwpB23BfkF6ubDFOu3jzxPo/s320/007.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575375387752392034" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSwu9KsgbZqkRwLe4zaNtM-wBLc-l_uobjbCd1Hueddhho_jms7fFJBWrxbJyKIadXGwH1HDvSf-usFy6JVD73LuDuduQDvdL9CAtXk4BQx4AEvU2VnS_J5NmIk5nu0CRVWOmdzYfkiec/s1600/005.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSwu9KsgbZqkRwLe4zaNtM-wBLc-l_uobjbCd1Hueddhho_jms7fFJBWrxbJyKIadXGwH1HDvSf-usFy6JVD73LuDuduQDvdL9CAtXk4BQx4AEvU2VnS_J5NmIk5nu0CRVWOmdzYfkiec/s320/005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575375279226378978" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBe8wHUCz1491xAIwQhTWVJgOfYx3AgbDeuQOobquE52Q4Tkh1k7syi4l-G6dzaKgaar8RXkapDDEVdHlSysxY-myA_Rp87GH0RevxusT2jl2cG6Rce-DtoR9xQXcFiUId1FAakXMVJ48/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBe8wHUCz1491xAIwQhTWVJgOfYx3AgbDeuQOobquE52Q4Tkh1k7syi4l-G6dzaKgaar8RXkapDDEVdHlSysxY-myA_Rp87GH0RevxusT2jl2cG6Rce-DtoR9xQXcFiUId1FAakXMVJ48/s320/003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575375192849005330" border="0" /></a>Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520881127992403396noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783920088797687590.post-69566155760876641912011-02-09T17:29:00.004+02:002011-02-09T18:04:09.236+02:00You know, this sucksRemember my <a href="http://rainbowandhermagicdyes.blogspot.com/2010/01/first-post-for-new-year.html">green socks-turned-mittens</a>? No, you probably don't, because I wrote about them over a year ago, and never mentioned them again. Well, I finished one of the mittens ages ago (except for the thumb) and started working on the second mitten. I got about halfway thru the cuff on the second one, when I got tired of them. So I threw them in a basket, where they lay until about a month ago. I finished the second mitten, thumb and all, and thought I'd finishe the second mitten too. But then I took my three-week break from knitting, and guess what? I can't find that thumbless mitten <span style="font-style: italic;">anywhere</span>. It's <span style="font-weight: bold;">nowhere</span> to be found. Argh. I'm starting to think that the mittens are cursed, and I'm just not supposed to finish them. <span style="font-style: italic;">Ever</span>. Hmph.<br /><br />And in other news, I started knitting again. I started working on the Alina shawl (<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/alina-shawl">rav link</a>), because I thought it would fit the theme for the month. The shawl was designed by a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer, and the pattern was released on the day of her surgery. And since I'm going to have breast surgery myself in a couple of weeks, I thought that now would be as good a time as any to finally knit the shawl. (And yes, I realize that I haven't mentioned anything about having breast surgery before, I just haven't found a good time for it.) My shawl won't be that big, because I'm using pretty thick yarn, but it's looking pretty so far. :) I don't have any pictures, you'll probably have to wait until the shawl is finished and blocked. :P<br /><br />And just because blog posts without any pictures are boring, I'll show you a picture of a tunic I made in school. (and yes, I know I'd need to have the customers approval to show this picture online, but as the customer is a friend of mine, I'm sure she won't mind. :P ) In this pic the buttons are missing, I'll show you close-ups of those when I get round to taking them..<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Kv59Ymu3e1gPb7e9Ge-may8MJ6boWapqMU5MXfRU0aSuLGWFtRBze8gXGf-tTl8bwXamgAcT90H5lvTdyzsidih5F_DRuLdwibSq0xnq84jOP8XghsPRsSN4esIdkRu5i7o5jh54TMY/s1600/P2010208.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Kv59Ymu3e1gPb7e9Ge-may8MJ6boWapqMU5MXfRU0aSuLGWFtRBze8gXGf-tTl8bwXamgAcT90H5lvTdyzsidih5F_DRuLdwibSq0xnq84jOP8XghsPRsSN4esIdkRu5i7o5jh54TMY/s320/P2010208.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571717509247274034" border="0" /></a><br />ainiin. ps.

See, my reasoning is, that if I haven't knit a stitch in over two weeks, and my thumbs haven't gotten any better, then it wasn't knitting that made the thumbs sore in the first place. And I can just as well start knitting again. I'm tired of sitting around and doing nothing all evening. Bah. So next time I might actually have something knitted to show you. ;) (Or I might show you the skirt and vest I made myself, I just have to get them photographed first..)Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520881127992403396noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783920088797687590.post-51871779136214339072011-01-10T18:38:00.008+02:002011-01-10T19:03:28.134+02:00First two for 2011Well, um, apparently I don't have that much to say, so I'll just show you my latest FOs, a pair of plain old mittens (made with not-so-plain-old-Noro-yarn), that are too big for me, and a slouchy hat (made with Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn). The hat started out as the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sockhead-hat">Sockhead hat</a>, but I only used the amount of cast-on stitches from the original pattern. And after casting on, I just ignored the pattern, and made the hat the way I wanted it. :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibGvAMINFTf-9OtqzaCVdIl_6EMUEA9NQwRNyDnJEM9D3EW8VfrYGmzRZ9UlXPjysycgwkdQNsvZaQtbb_f5erH-EZ2fJETzEiC1zjvLR_FCgYqBGXQ0GdJ5CLVhuQHJLHaGiX4eXFzjo/s1600/IMG_5512.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibGvAMINFTf-9OtqzaCVdIl_6EMUEA9NQwRNyDnJEM9D3EW8VfrYGmzRZ9UlXPjysycgwkdQNsvZaQtbb_f5erH-EZ2fJETzEiC1zjvLR_FCgYqBGXQ0GdJ5CLVhuQHJLHaGiX4eXFzjo/s320/IMG_5512.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560601936558955634" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCvWm2tMQc5pXyCKB06I6xY-wSGDcUjQXSfBxKE-k6gGlyQAxoBCh7S5-RfL5LHYda4qIa4URV4yF0zLauafwzB0R8h6mtdMtGtjg2srEJc3ODCDni6xZxExhWGVFcDoyicbnswqV7ClY/s1600/IMG_5511.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCvWm2tMQc5pXyCKB06I6xY-wSGDcUjQXSfBxKE-k6gGlyQAxoBCh7S5-RfL5LHYda4qIa4URV4yF0zLauafwzB0R8h6mtdMtGtjg2srEJc3ODCDni6xZxExhWGVFcDoyicbnswqV7ClY/s320/IMG_5511.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560601830528013426" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnFqJRtfZNHTe8pMv7D5J6YJm9jTQ-cLPFmLLdGKMdh4RQ4A6sVysWuR2NewLk8e33N5oTLatISP5ukMy_RPSDVCiOTQgox-zUGW9vbEEy1KPdzDyOQ8twETI0bD44SLVv_cLuEXIfK_0/s1600/IMG_5505.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnFqJRtfZNHTe8pMv7D5J6YJm9jTQ-cLPFmLLdGKMdh4RQ4A6sVysWuR2NewLk8e33N5oTLatISP5ukMy_RPSDVCiOTQgox-zUGW9vbEEy1KPdzDyOQ8twETI0bD44SLVv_cLuEXIfK_0/s320/IMG_5505.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560601705354865522" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZitkwa-rulpdXxSE5-v3KGj26vG9KBffU9cSBePMor4lHJ-Lx4mKxj5p2IV4tgu-YDMXmYGzZvVl8830B3fgXIxIjgsTZcct7BGknUK4lr9GP2NykvsnrNviYrEeplDmLOa5iS7ESP0/s1600/IMG_5508.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZitkwa-rulpdXxSE5-v3KGj26vG9KBffU9cSBePMor4lHJ-Lx4mKxj5p2IV4tgu-YDMXmYGzZvVl8830B3fgXIxIjgsTZcct7BGknUK4lr9GP2NykvsnrNviYrEeplDmLOa5iS7ESP0/s320/IMG_5508.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560601566740278690" border="0" /></a>Dunno when I'll have any more knits to show off, I have to take a break from knitting, because both my thumbs are crazy sore. My right thumb has been sore for, oh, two months or so, but now my left thumb is sore too. Oh poo. I'm thinking of taking a one-week break to start with, and we'll see if the thumbs get any better. I'm two days into this first week, and I'm going bonkers. How anyone can sit around and watch TV without doing anything with their hands is beyond me.

I guess those will have to be my first two FOs for 2011. :) I made the lining for the hat <a href="http://rainbowandhermagicdyes.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-have-no-fos-to-show.html">I showed you earlier</a>, and it turned out ok. If you don't count the fact that it's now too small for the tiny one. I'm thinking about soaking it and stretching it out a bit. It <span style="font-style: italic;">is</span> made of wool, so it should stretch just as much as I want it to.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBOjWEm9G_rOphGFjg4YJG4pn3FVGQS7QZaPXmSWKuU84lzef1AmZ7OVaKa0Vb6_2ve4COqmYavu4OO2B7E6b-yfz9f5UlmJp0EH0W1SR9zHkNuYdo-HdK3TraZM6Xc_j4QNe43cILkO4/s1600/IMG_5473.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBOjWEm9G_rOphGFjg4YJG4pn3FVGQS7QZaPXmSWKuU84lzef1AmZ7OVaKa0Vb6_2ve4COqmYavu4OO2B7E6b-yfz9f5UlmJp0EH0W1SR9zHkNuYdo-HdK3TraZM6Xc_j4QNe43cILkO4/s320/IMG_5473.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556826983618283826" border="0" /></a>And I finished the slouchy socks too. I did switch to dpn's when I got to the heel, because I like my socks to be tightly knit, and working with the mini-circs made my knitting very loose. I guess I just have to work more on my tension with the mini-circs.

So last Friday we packed our bags, and headed for the airport. Up until Thursday night we had been waiting on pins and needles to find out if we get to go on our weekend trip or not, the flight attendants on our domestic airline (the one we were supposed to fly with!) were on strike. Well, on Thursday evening the husband got a text message that said that our flight <span style="font-style: italic;">would be</span> leaving when it was supposed to. Yay! So on Friday we were on our merry way to jolly old London. (Let's not even mention that the flight was an hour an a half delayed, and we didn't get to our hotel until 8 p.m. We were in <span style="font-style: italic;">London!</span>)<br /><br />On Friday night we went for dinner (I had the best salad <span style="font-style: italic;">ever</span>) and then thought we'd take a walk and go see Piccadilly Circus. See, on the map it didn't look that far. But London is a big city. So we walked, walked, and walked some more. It took about an hour. We finally got to Piccadilly, took a photo, this one here<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO_WGbftvUWUQzYO2QnqTnpyY3U82fyjL0fir5bdS0lEMJPTQmrULVkQIOMhr5VtGeFO7BPDmtqwgiswfv_EK0Lk3bGbWRs3TooO80H6xkqz0scP_GtMVoMch075WkWIXKXLaUHo5Slcg/s1600/004.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO_WGbftvUWUQzYO2QnqTnpyY3U82fyjL0fir5bdS0lEMJPTQmrULVkQIOMhr5VtGeFO7BPDmtqwgiswfv_EK0Lk3bGbWRs3TooO80H6xkqz0scP_GtMVoMch075WkWIXKXLaUHo5Slcg/s320/004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551227105401471842" border="0" /></a>And then, get this, <span style="font-style: italic;">we decided to walk back</span>! Seriously, this is where I get a bit confused. There's an underground station right there at Piccadilly, we had just walked about 5 kilometers (about 3 miles), the underground would have taken us to about a block from our hotel, <span style="font-style: italic;">and we decided to walk back</span>! All kinds of crazies going around..<br /><br />On Saturday we walked to Portobello Road (yes, more walking :P), it was so packed with people that you could hardly breathe, but we bravely walked along it for a while. :) From there we took the underground to Tower Bridge, as the husband wanted to see it, as he's never been to London before.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb5Dov7zDr77Hchxj66LgVn_cDrfqeFrGcYYIChVG3Q5-W95A_-ATTCGBLXpOv6_ZxEgGrcmum5KxCW-G1ffebL8Gew8G8IqZ93qQnWffgWir2aFAW-nrDbAkDCvFPKk_4rUkduu2Nn9Y/s1600/020.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb5Dov7zDr77Hchxj66LgVn_cDrfqeFrGcYYIChVG3Q5-W95A_-ATTCGBLXpOv6_ZxEgGrcmum5KxCW-G1ffebL8Gew8G8IqZ93qQnWffgWir2aFAW-nrDbAkDCvFPKk_4rUkduu2Nn9Y/s320/020.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551235338763399922" border="0" /></a>Then we headed to Trafalgar Square, and I'm so happy we stopped there, because this is what we saw<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgm9_-6cbwIPVyCzN8ja0dK95XoTLmsWhDaHRL4njbPr6gXs1q1y45lLL0jJIhQLAW87oCgnYIDl0PJajAx1zFd2Hv3wcLs8Okq34qg4kUxpz_cWyMEUQDxuMW4RNqmzphqn_M69x_NWY/s1600/026.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgm9_-6cbwIPVyCzN8ja0dK95XoTLmsWhDaHRL4njbPr6gXs1q1y45lLL0jJIhQLAW87oCgnYIDl0PJajAx1zFd2Hv3wcLs8Okq34qg4kUxpz_cWyMEUQDxuMW4RNqmzphqn_M69x_NWY/s320/026.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551236640427859154" border="0" /></a><br />I have no idea what al these Santa's helpers were doing there, but there were <span style="font-style: italic;">hundreds</span> of them! And wherever we looked, there were even more of them walking towards the Square (all of them more of less drunk.) I would have wanted to visit Camden Town, but we didn't have time for that. Just as well to leave something for next time too, right? :) After this we headed to Oxford Street to do some shopping. Not that we bought much of anything, I bought a shirt, pants and a too small dress (because it <span style="font-style: italic;">i</span>s<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></span>a good idea to buy a dress and think "I'll fit into this some day". But it was so cute. And I'm going on a diet after Xmas. Hah) for myself, and then we got something for the kids.<br /><br />All in all, it was a good weekend, a bit stressful because we only had one whole day to see everything, and Ican't wait to go back. Can I go back now? Can I? Pretty please? No? Well crap.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7WpOySHdW1aGeUZ_a-OGh29ZuoE37JeUjrfArwNn-wle-OT_rS8LmCraRVbL0HSkOvc0dWqsiBpFSrVSviD9oM0Ww8NyoQaQvJ41wdzaOKfbScZRqAkncHsDwB0dMiuMlleUf8J16L0/s1600/027.JPG"><br /></a>Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520881127992403396noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783920088797687590.post-3563940719608011232010-12-05T16:33:00.009+02:002010-12-05T21:21:44.893+02:00So I made a coat..And then it got too cold for me to wear it. Oh pah. Anyways, it's a wool coat, a fun circle shape (please don't ask me what pattern it is, I have <span style="font-style: italic;">no</span> idea whatsoever.) So far I've used a very fancy safety pin to fasten the coat with, I'm working on a better solution. :) The collar isn't sewn on correctly, it's supposed to lie perfectly flat, but let's pretend that I wanted it to look the way it does, ok?

Because I had absolutely nothing to wear! It's warm, it's cute, and I love it! (the only thing that bugs me just a teeny bit, is that with a little bit of effort I could've made the vertical stripes continue in a smooth line from the waistband to the rest of the skirt. But I didn't think of that at the time, and I only wear löong shirts anyway, so nobody will ever know. Except for everybody who sees these pictures.

(And again, I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures.) Let's start with a hat that I actually made years ago, when the middle child was two or three. It's in perfectly good shape, but it's not nearly warm enough for the frickin' cold weather that we've been having lately. So I came up with the perfect solution, I'll knit a lining for the hat! A double wool hat should be warm enough, even for our -20C weather.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6RJtr90ifD2c-9xZEfoa1MhyphenhyphenHjUzXZ1m8TYRuBMy8zrXM15rhC7wlauPGMq05xOzRP3GhQ84VrWfn66qkN03Nw28tRl3fiTT79Vonm82e1GtqPQ8AL3nsje_eXp36G-a4QbpGrD23jqY/s1600/IMG_5349.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6RJtr90ifD2c-9xZEfoa1MhyphenhyphenHjUzXZ1m8TYRuBMy8zrXM15rhC7wlauPGMq05xOzRP3GhQ84VrWfn66qkN03Nw28tRl3fiTT79Vonm82e1GtqPQ8AL3nsje_eXp36G-a4QbpGrD23jqY/s320/IMG_5349.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545018506729804834" border="0" /></a>Next we have a pair of mittens for me. I'm making these with Noro Silk Garden.

I <span style="font-style: italic;">would</span> have started these weeks ago, but the husband tidied up around here at some point, and he has put my ball of yarn in a very secure place. So secure in fact, that I can't find it anywhere. Today I gave up and bought a new ball. (So, naturally, I'll find the missing ball tomorrow.) Nothing new about me knitting socks, you say? Well, that's true. But I'm knitting my socks on mini circulars for the first time ever. At this point, I'm not completely convinced that I like them, we'll see how I feel after knitting the whole pair. :) (Actually, I'll probably switch to dpns when I get to the heel..)

And I got a skein of Malabrigo Chunky, thinking that I'll get a scarf out of it. I then picked the pattern I want to use, which was the<a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2006/10/12/one_row_handspun_scarf.html"> One-row handspun scarf by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee</a>. Cast on my stitches, all 30 of them and started knitting. And I knitted happily along for a while, until I noticed that my ball of yarn was shrinking at an alarming rate. At which point I realized that I would definitely not have enough yarn to make a scarf. Oh pah. What to do? As I may have mentioned before, I absolutely loathe frogging, so I had to think of something else. So I wrapped it around my neck and came to the conclusion that it was just the <span style="font-style: italic;">perfect</span> length to make a cowl. And here you have it, my new, warm and cozy cowl. Yay! :D<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZf1SvTYhY4ny56nD3oCZiwtlmBXqBCiBai-5WHFcnHScNTXW0Q2yiTAhliqhbf_-fB_9hFAveH3jsSfWXDWmTK49w4Ov8l2DEOhW9BhDa8r3jZdN3zvQQxMcJZhz-9UAjRBn4-JxH8d8/s1600/026.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZf1SvTYhY4ny56nD3oCZiwtlmBXqBCiBai-5WHFcnHScNTXW0Q2yiTAhliqhbf_-fB_9hFAveH3jsSfWXDWmTK49w4Ov8l2DEOhW9BhDa8r3jZdN3zvQQxMcJZhz-9UAjRBn4-JxH8d8/s320/026.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532256851598739378" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV0Jc4X36yWgxXEV_FqMM33lsImmDO8N5-mw7UxpIoM5xfQg4jJU6mb1fr1-iERHynaY-PhZ3aTntQHQMjvdZERSdoepkp-PtWYj3IShZljY2G9F-EcPjgy5LOWZyk1gdGUxSI3ghB3C0/s1600/030.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV0Jc4X36yWgxXEV_FqMM33lsImmDO8N5-mw7UxpIoM5xfQg4jJU6mb1fr1-iERHynaY-PhZ3aTntQHQMjvdZERSdoepkp-PtWYj3IShZljY2G9F-EcPjgy5LOWZyk1gdGUxSI3ghB3C0/s320/030.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532256991707217042" border="0" /></a><br />Oh, in case you were wondering, yes, my hair really is very much a bright pink at the moment. ;)Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520881127992403396noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783920088797687590.post-30093390478484342802010-10-20T20:57:00.002+03:002010-10-20T21:31:07.442+03:00Super-duper quickieSo I knit a hat. It took me all of half an evening to make. And I'm not able to wear it for even half that long. I'm so never using this yarn again for anything. It doesn't feel too bad on the ball, doesn't even feel bad knit up, but good grief how much it makes my scalp itch! Argh! I wore it for about ten minutes, and felt like scratching my scalp and ears until the bleed. So, not gonna wear this. Which really is too bad, because I really wanted a hat with sequins. Am I really going to have to <span style="font-style: italic;">buy</span> a hat with sequins? Shock, horror!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh9dpr-Jss5ZRnuQX7W1-3FLVMHalkG9PasyxrdcANkxIaFWNJrNVYChClcnrheXbO4dv_QHmMVK9pxWYQYULCB0iSImxRhgnPKKOCKwTRo24wjCvWesrIa5eIhfIeCKdIMI0L6bSNrDY/s1600/IMG_5326.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh9dpr-Jss5ZRnuQX7W1-3FLVMHalkG9PasyxrdcANkxIaFWNJrNVYChClcnrheXbO4dv_QHmMVK9pxWYQYULCB0iSImxRhgnPKKOCKwTRo24wjCvWesrIa5eIhfIeCKdIMI0L6bSNrDY/s320/IMG_5326.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530197431108317970" border="0" /></a>Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520881127992403396noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783920088797687590.post-33454195357768267772010-10-02T21:31:00.005+03:002010-10-02T21:48:24.709+03:00B-day pressiesThe middle kid has two birthday parties to go to this weekend, and as I'm flat broke at the moment, I decided to make the presents myself. At first I was going to make both girls bracelets, but as the girl who had her party today is <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span> tiny, I didn't know what size to make it, so I thought it best to make her something else instead. After giving it some thought, I decided on a bag. A small bag, for a small girl. And this is what I ended up with. All little girls love a little bling, right? :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDn61YevWcbhfVG5R3kYKqn6u4Dv5QR3tm5goeDfzv3YIEFrWElTY1oHufCkaeGAEgc70pHVTgzgn2ok128KVU44uTlgqF1qYu4mgc3F6YYMx2WnhG9PGfBLe6VaAbiq1hjalp1w8HGEc/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDn61YevWcbhfVG5R3kYKqn6u4Dv5QR3tm5goeDfzv3YIEFrWElTY1oHufCkaeGAEgc70pHVTgzgn2ok128KVU44uTlgqF1qYu4mgc3F6YYMx2WnhG9PGfBLe6VaAbiq1hjalp1w8HGEc/s320/001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523520539072855906" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhve73qBntzIjGnB-5EPlFY-HWr_sT__QPDTZiawMTO14yOJkPRVdMsx_ZAWOiMv6QRuFQWK-f64Kf0Fc8ReUddqnS3bKNZ0xx1gzeHeUYbX7D-pqZiutgR6ejU55_3bkDFMC8h54Rkygs/s1600/002.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhve73qBntzIjGnB-5EPlFY-HWr_sT__QPDTZiawMTO14yOJkPRVdMsx_ZAWOiMv6QRuFQWK-f64Kf0Fc8ReUddqnS3bKNZ0xx1gzeHeUYbX7D-pqZiutgR6ejU55_3bkDFMC8h54Rkygs/s320/002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523520662854818130" border="0" /></a><br />For the girl who has her party tomorrow I made a bracelet, but now I'm getting a bit worried that it's not enough..
