This is how beatiful it was today!! Sun shining from a high sky- fresh and crisp was it too.
Around 22 when I woke up.
A bouqet of yarn/colors.
The big fat "snake" on the bottom is the lovely Claudia Large Loop Boucle-
Handpainted Mohair 78%, Alpaca 25% and Viscose 25%.
It is for a scarf- something.. need to figure out the right thing.
On top of the "snake" is the sockyarn also from Claudia in Fingering weight.
The color is Last night´s wine ( love that name,,) and is SO soft.. can´t wait to work with it.
The brown tweed is from Rowan and I got 10 of those balls.. might need a few more for what I have in mind.
This is a swatch I made last night..
A scarf is in my thoughts and the patteren has been a surch for the right one.
Finally , in my very own library I found the patteren I was looking for in Nicky Epsteins "Knitting on the edge".
What I have in mind is a very chunky alpaca- stash yarn.
Also came across this adorable patteren called Duckfeets or Andefødder in danish. Good as a scarf patteren or as a wrist-warmer as I do here. It is pretty fast knitted, but not a fast memorable one.
Need to have the patteren with me.
The yarn is something I colored myself a year and a half ago- It is danish wool called Tvinni by Marianne Isager and the basic color was peach(whaaa- not found of that color anymore) and I desided to try to play with it and I think it turned out fine..
It is darker in the colors than on the pic. and has all this grey to dark purple /light pink in it.
A very quick gift in this very short time we have left befor X-mas.

The wool for the wristwarmers looks very, very pretty. That will make a nice present for someone.
Så flittig og dyktig du er.
Imponerende arbeider du viser frem. Også ledsager dine tekster med så flotte bilder. Du er jo en fantastisk fotograf.
