A cowl is off the needles. Yarn is Kathmandu Aran from Queensland Collection.
Containing 85 % merino, 10% silk and 5% cashmere. Color is 115- a beautiful green color.
This yarn has a story. I´ve tried to knit different objects with this yarn.
First a hat. NOT good!! the knitting fabric got flat, boring and no elastisy at all.
Can not recall what else other that I was that mad at it, that I tossed it.
The next day I actually picked it up again and packed it away. Far away.
I could not just get rid of it. I thought that there must be something I could knit with this yarn. The something I had in my mind was a cushin. And maybe a cowl. I used 3 balls of Kathmandu for this cowl. Two turns around the neck.
There will be more cowls. I have balls in a bordoux and some in a teal green almost greyish). X-mas gifts maybe?

Again socks! Do not know why I have to have socks on the needles all the time, but that´s how it is. 2 weeks without sock knitting and I found myself thinking of socks in a lace pattern with a nice colored yarn.
Do you crave for sock knitting? I guess that some of us just have to knit socks .
This yarn is a gift from my german AFS daughter´s mom. It is a colorfull yarn, therefor I decided not to knit in lace.
As always I have a ball left, not sure how many grams, but enough to knit a pair of childrens socks.
More projects on it´s way of various kind ( X-mas gifts)

The otherday I went to Sweeden for a quick buy.
At Kremmerhuset I picked up these coasters with dragonflies. Perfect for what my mind wants at the moment. Recently I bought a scarf ( wool and silk) with the same pattern, dragonflies.
Also I got a little crazy with X-mas ornaments. Fly agaric. Looks soooo cute. Can´t wait till the end of November and decorating time.
Last year I got my hands on a baby blue owl. This year I found this Mr:
A weekend is over. Sunday nights are quiet. I´m preparing for a workday tomorrow.
I will be watching Downton Abbey and get early to bed.
To all of you: thanks for stopping by and have a good one.

Your cowl looks lovely and cosy and the the colour is very pretty.
Love the colorful yarn! I usually have some socks on my needles too, but I haven't lately. I'm going to have to take care of that.
Didn't realise you were a Downton fan! Did you watch series 3 then? Love the yarn of the socks... (and the Christmas decorations)
Nooooo- we´re only on series 2( I think....) - Sybil just died in childbirth .
I´m very much in love with that green color on the cowl. Love the tweed look ;) Thank you all for nice compliments
That green cowl is gorgeous!
Thanks Monique ;) I think so too. Maybe thats what kept me from tossing the yarn. It is not good to knit with :o
