So Warm and Soft

It is like a little miracle.

Light as a feather and warm and soft.

 

 

So elegant in its simplicity.

 

 

The yarn is Kidsilk Haze from Rowan.

 

 



The Wrap Skirt Again!

Maybe someone has wondered if the wrap skirt is finished. Well, it almost was. But..., I was not happy with the hem, so I unraveled it.

 

 

I love this skirt so now I start it all over again but with the yarn used in the pattern. Though I'm still considering how to make the lower edge to get a nice drape.

Flowery Necklace

It's both beautiful and cute, the necklace crocheted in the lovely sequin yarn. 

 

 

The necklace is made of 3 different strings that are crocheted together.

 

Flowers, buds and leaves.

Chubby for the Lips

A crayon for the lips

that is easy to use and gives a lot of colour.

The Chubby Stick from Clinique is a moisturizing lip balm that gives colour and shine without being sticky.

A new lip favorite in a lot of colours.

Triangular Shawl

A warm and soft shawl is good to have now when it's getting colder.

This design is rather simple and have a pretty lace pattern.

 

 

It's from the book 'Sy och sticka på egen hand' by Eva Kruk.

You find a similar design on Ravelry.

 

 

This is a book with basic designs to sew and knit.

You can easily develop them as you wish for your own style and taste.

 

 

The pretty shawl is knitted in Rowan Kidsilk Haze, a wonderful yarn in mohair and silk. It comes in a lot of lovely colors.

Rowan has a similar design, the shawl 'Birch'.

 

For both shawls, it says in the pattern that the yarn amount is 3 balls. I've knitted two shawls and in one case that was not enough 

but I had to by another ball.

I know now that this has happened to more knitters of this pattern. 

To be sure that the amount of yarn is enough, the alternatives are to either cast on less stitches, 279st instead of 299st, or to buy 4 balls.

 

 

This color is Marmalade, 596.
