Lace up your apple!

I am not sure why I knit such things... I used to hate knitted unuseful things, but since I became a mom and I got a little fan club of young girls that really appreciate the knitted toys I make it has grown into a habit.

This is an apple cozy, to prevent the apple to get brown areas when being transported, and to save the handbag from stains too.

I had no instruction, just made it up while knitting. I garter stitched it to make the decreases and increases less visible and crocheted laces and green leaves around the opening.

Barbie Birthday

Happy Birthday my little darling E! I'm really glad you appreciated the Barbie clothing I knitted for your 7th birthday!
Here's the swim suit you wished for: The yarn is a stashed vintage cotton from my grandmother Rut.
And the dress:

Knitted in Rauma Röros Lammullgarn. The pants were a suprise, and so was the poncho with braids and tassels:



Please, wish for more of these fun projects!

More ice cream

More ice cream from the Ravelry free pattern "Scooped". This time a couple of soft servings in waffer cones.

Ice cream, anyone?

Another toy for my daughter (actually knitted in Stickarboden, first item). It's a free Ravelry pattern called Scooped. It is supposed to be a waffer cone with two scoops of ice cream. Well, kids have no problem seeing that's an ice cream so if you can't see the resemblance you have probably left childhood for good (poor thing).

Patisserie!

Patisserie ordered by my five year old daughter. I hope she will be pleased when she finds the cake tomorrow morning :-)
