In Bloom CAL

In January Johanna (@mijocrochet) and favoritgarner.se started  In Bloom CAL.

After seeing the first verisons on Instagram I quickly decided that I had to take part.

I found some yarn in my stash. This is after part 2.

Part 3

After part 6.

And this is after part 8 and the finished cushion. 

It's the first time I've tried this type of closing.

I put in buttonholes and buttons, so I can take it of for washing.

All in all a very nice project. I can really recommend this CAL. 

The pattern can be found free on the Mijo crochet blog.

Vinterstrikk

Eg har prøvd nokre nye oppskrifter i vinter (og til jul).

Eit par Løvspretthalsar først. Oppskrift av Strikkelisa

Kjappe å strikke og deilig mjuke i børsta alpakka.

I have tried a couple of new patterns this Christmas and winter.

These cowls are warm and squishy in soft alpacca.

Og så vart det strikka eit par ponsjoar til julegåver. Desse tok litt tid så dei blei levert etter jul :)

Her har eg tatt utgangspunkt i mønsteret Azel Pullover. 

Eg strikka i Drops Nepal. Det er tynnare enn garnet brukt i oppskrifta så eg la til nokre masker for å få rett storleik. Strikka dei også litt lengre. 

Gode og varme i alle fall.

I also knitted these pullovers for Christmas. They did take some time, so they have only just been delivered :) The pattern is Azel Pullover. 

I knitted in thinner yarn than in the pattern, so I addded a few stitches to get the right size.

They're good and warm in Drops Nepal.
