Baby blanket

I finally finished my baby blanket made after this pattern:http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-chalice-blanket
I like it very much and Iam quite proud of me that I managed to give it away as a gift for my friends.:p
They became grandparents for the first time and I want to give something special to their grandchild called Aurora:)
The yarn I used was merino superwash which I spun by myself. I think I used a bit less than 200g and the blanket became after blocking 113x60 cm.
Hope little Aurora and parents will enjoy it:))

Angeline wool

We have one grey/ black sheep between all the others and her name is Angeline.http://flowerssaape.blogspot.com/2009/04/her-ser-du-sapen-i-formen.html. Here is an old picture from her when she was still a lamb.
She has wonderfull wool and I spun it direct from her fiber without washing it. It has not so much Lanolin in it so it was nice to have in the hands and on the wheel. Its 3 thread, no Navajo, just 3 real threads together. Alltogether it is 250 g. I need about 200 g more. Have plans to knit a shirt from it, but not sure yet. It have to wait cause Iam off for some works the next month. Afterwards I will fly to Thailand...so looking forward to it. Hoping for 3 lovely weeks in Asia:)
Anyway, I will try to update my Blog but forgive me, if I cant manage it. Have a nice summer all together.

Surprise and more

Some days ago i wanted to make a soap again. And I was really afraid of what was going to happen with the colour of the soap cause the perfume and the colours didnt work together as I hoped for(discoloration).
But in the end it turned out as a quite good result and the smell is lovely: Tearose.

Other things that happend yesterday: I met the lady from this blog http://filletantefishfish.blogspot.com/
It was so nice to talk to somebody who is into spinning as I am and i hope we will meet again:)

I met her here: http://www.ull.no/media//Torgdag-04062011-plakat.pdf
I was there to demonstrate the visitors how to use a spinning wheel. It was nice. Lots of interesting people showing their craftingwork and I wonder what will be my next thing..maybe buying a weaving loom..:)

I had a really good weekend...have all a good week..bye, bye for today

Summer

These are some real summer colours. I just love them. The fiber is from our own sheep: Dalasheep and i dyed with Ashford colours using red and yellow. We have not summer weather yet but these colours makes me feel quite warm. I wish all of you a good weekend.

The result

Here it is. The result of my last week spinning.

Sometimes it is good when there is an internett failure.

Cause in the night from friday to saturday we had such a heavy storm, and thunder and lightning. The lightning caused that all our electricity went and when it came back the broadband was down. After a call to the company we figured out that the router was broken and yesterday we got a new one.

But anyway, I had lots of time to spin and I started knitting on a baby blanket again with some other yarn I made earlier.

I will come back later with that one. Have a nice day:)

Hello

Not allways easy to go on writing in my blog at times. I experience a lack of creativity in the last months.
But yesterday I felt really happy to create this yarn. Uplifting colours. I wanted to share them with you.
