Ingrid´s sweater for Marius

@brittarnhild

Ingrid has knitted a sweater for Marius.

The way to put the arms and body together, raglanfelling we call it in Norwegian, and after doing some search it looks like it si called raglan in English as well, was new to Ingrid, so I promised to help her.

We spent last weekend at the cabin, together with Ingrid, Marius and Leander, and we finished the sweater.

 

Where are all the knitting blogs

@brittarnhild

Cabin life. Which also means knitting life :-)
A cold day today, the forecast for tomorrow is much better, but I am still sitting outside, with all I need for a perfect day at hand. Camera, binoculars, knitting, a book and my journal. Well, not exactly all. There is no coffee cup here. But I am only showing you the extra table. The main table has our coffee cups and a coffee pot and even a couple of sweet rolls. So we are fine :-)

I have brought with me several knitting projects this weekend, hoping to finish some UFOs. This blue knitting is actually a little baby outfit (body)  my daughter Ingrid has knitted. For yet another friend expecting a baby. I have no number of how many of these Ingrid has knitted now. And as always I am helping her with the last touch, the edge around the opening for the feet.

While I sit here knitting, I am thinking of the wonderful world of knitting and of knitters. All the trillions of knots binding us together. And I am wondering about other knitting blogs. I have found a very few, you can count them on one hand. But there must be thousands, hundreds of thousands of them out there.

The ones I have found, you can find under "knitting blogs I love"  in the right hand side menu,,,,,,,scroll down a little to find it. I am sure you know about others. Please share with me the address to your favourite knitting blogs, and who knows, I might love them as well, and will add the address to my list.

By the way, here is a little video from our cabin today, among other things with two flycatchers busy building a home:

 

 

Mamma, can you help me with these.......

@brittarnhild

Ingrid´s friends keep on getting babies and Ingrid keeps on knitting tiny little newborn outfits.
She has become so good at knitting over the last couple of years.......up to one point. To pick up stitches around the openings for the feet, and knit the bias (what is the correct word for this in English?)

Of course I can :-)

 

 

Rumpers

@brittarnhild

As I have told you before, our oldest daughter is getting quite an avid knitter. I taught her to knit as a child, but it was only when she got pregnant, two years ago, that she startet to knit. For real I mean. And now she produces one item after the other. Knitting for kids have become quite popular here in Norway. Part of this is due to two woman who are making the books Klompelompe, take a look here.

The romper you see in the picture above is made by Ingrid, using a klompelompe patters. She makes lots of them, and gives away to newborn babies of friends. She still needs a liitle mamma help to finish the edges, so from time to time there is a back with an almost finished romper here, waiting for my fingers to get busy.

I love to help!
