Knitting and crocheting during the evenings
These days I never really have any real time just for knitting or crocheting, but as I have been working so much lately, I decided never tow work/ study longer then 9pm, so the rest of the day is just for Ben, Maya and myself. Mostly we all sit in front of the TV and enjoy a soul-soothing episode of ‘Our little house on the Prairy’. Nothing goes better with this than some knitting. And here are the results:
I have knitted this cute bib for which I found the pattern on ravelry again. It does not habe a button yet, but it will as soon as I find a really nice one.
This picture shows the cable pattern in a bit more detail. unfortunately the self-patterned yarn makes it a bit hard to see.
I also knitted these peekaboo mittens, again found on ravelry. I think they are really useful and good looking as well:

And here you can see how they work:

I also knitted a catnip ball for Maya which did not turn out as round as the pattern suggested, and a mobile phone cosy for Ben. I am going to knit another one for me and soon I am going to start that shawl I was anticipating. More pictures to follow!
current knitting
This is what I was knitting last. It is a ‘my so-called scarf’ and a ‘rustic cables’ hat, I found them both on ravelry. I especially like the scarf, as usually when I knit scarves they just roll up. Maybe I am knitting too tight which I would deny but there you go!
I made up the gloves as I do not seem to understand any glove patterns
The little thingies are ‘magic slippers’ also from ravelry. They are the first in a long list of baby things I intend to make for Ben’s future niece or nephew.
