Linking up with
Knitting: I haven't finished all my wip's fom last week - I just thought it would bore you to see them over and over again... So instead I have a new wip ;) A pair of mittens for Endre. That boy wears out his mittens in no time. Whit all the playing in the snow, his mittens gets felted and too small in no time. And sine it looks like spring isn't about to come to our part of the word yet, I have to make him a couple of new pairs.
Reading: I still have a few chapters left in Myren I started reading last week. It's a very good crime book! I still have no clue on how it all is going to end and who did it. I'm also reading a chapter now and then in The Map of Time. So far it's not what I expected... I had hoped for a great time travelling story. Some parts of the book is great, as in the part with H G Wells, but the rest, not so good. I'm going to finish it though.
I needed somthing light to read in addition to the crime book, so I picked out a Harlequin novel - Mistress by Midnight. It's the 3rd book in The Scandalous Women of the Ton series.
I finished these yesterday. Happy Rainbow Jaywalkers for Eirin :)

I love your Jaywalkers - I really must get around to making myself a pair, it's such a cool look :)
ReplyDeleteThe mittens look gorgeous too :)
Oh the socks are great!! Our weather never gets cold enough for mittens but I think I would love a pair anyway...maybe just for bed!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING SOCKS. AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteLove the socks!
ReplyDeleteYour socks are gorgeous, as always. I've finally decided to try knitting a pair or two of socks, but I need (a lot) more practice before I actually have anything that actually resembles a sock :O
ReplyDeleteOh my, what wonderful WIPs you have. Bright, colourful and wonderfully made! I adore the rainbow jaywalkers - Gorgeous!

ReplyDeletethe socks look adorable! perfect spring colours! and they keep you warm for these (still) cooler days, that's a bonus!
ReplyDeleteWow, the yarn striped beautifully on those Jaywalkers. Well done!
ReplyDeleteAmazing socks and love the mittens
ReplyDeleteI love the socks! I haven't made mittens yet, but that is on my to do list for this year, mittens for my babes :-) You would think if I can make socks I can make mittens, but it is intimidating :-)
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! I LOVE the jaywalkers!!! The pattern has been in my ravelry queue for forever and every time someone posts theirs I drool. The yarn you used is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThat is one awesome looking mitten! And the jaywalkers--WOW. They are just too cool really, I love them.

Wow - those socks are AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at your colorwork! You tackle some pretty detailed stuff. Love those mittens. And the jaywalkers - I find it interesting how the yarn colors can look so different in different stitch patterns. The heel and toe tend to 'pop' more than the other parts of the socks.
ReplyDeleteI love your socks and mitten. They are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWOW! The Jaywalkers are gorgeous! And I love the design for the mittens! Lovely WIP's!! :)
ReplyDeleteGroovy socks! I'm a big fan of crime novels too and always have at least one on the go at any time. Thank goodness for the library!
ReplyDeleteThose socks are quite amazing :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so lovely! What great colors.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Jaywalkers! The pattern is rocking in that yarn!
ReplyDeleteAnd what lovely mitts for your little one. I just love that pattern!
Jaywalkerne ble kjempefine! Likte hvordan selvstripinga ble skikkelig stilig her!
ReplyDeleteOh my, those socks are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely socks and nice colors!
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern of your mittens. Mittens are small enough to try something new. We are in Spring now and all mitten wearing has been abandoned, but maybe next winter I'll try some different stitches on mittens.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Socks! I have a young one who seems to felt his mitts too. What pattern is that?
ReplyDeleteIt's the Newfoundland mittens.
Deleteyour knitting is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove your WIP, looks very interesting.
ReplyDeleteJust popped over as part of the yarn along, pop over to mine if you have the chance.
