Dog yarn


When I get the chance to sit down for a few minutes I'll try to turn this soft cotton/acryllic yarn into a dachshound of some sort. I just need a good pattern....

Baby Pants Suit

I bought three skeins of this sock yarn. As planned I've begun knitting a pants suit though it will be a madness of colours - I hope a plain t-shirt will calm the whole thing down a bit.






Specs!
Pattern: ?, size 6-9 months
Yarn: Inka Superwash, 75% wool and 25% polyester
Skeins: 4, which is why I had to go back a buy another one
Needles: 2.5 mm
Start to finish: I still haven't done the last details
For: no clue

Elephant - Pellefant

I finished 'Pellefant'.... and gave him away :)













I had seen a picture of this sweet elephant in pastels, and this specific picture stirred up a desire to grab my crochet needle again.... I just HAD to make an elephant! After having looked for, ordered and received both pattern and yarn Pellefant was born :)

Specs!
Pattern: I found the elephant in a HP Gruppen knitting(!) magazine - 'Småbørnsstrik nr. 8'
Yarn: Løvegarn, 'kick'. I chose strong colours since pastels aren't really my cup of tea.
Skeins: 3 of 50 g, but I only used around 100 g
Needle:
Start to finish: April-May 2007
For: Maja, my niece
Overall judgement: I love Pellefant!

Buttons. Red buttons, blue buttons, green buttons.....







For a couple of weeks I've been looking for an inexpensive batch of buttons - I was going for buttons that would be suitable for children's clothes, meaning that I wouldn't mind it at all if they were a little 'off' and funny. At last; completely unexpected I came across a bag full of crazy buttons as I was at Panduro Hobby to look for some boring stuffing for Pelefant..... sweeeet!
