Knitting Heaven

About two months ago I joined the ravelry.com community. My long lost friend, Lise (aka Pindsvinet) pointed me in the direction of knitting paradise. I cannot believe that I hadn't discovered the world's best online site aaaall by myself, since I do spend a great deal of time on the famous Internet :)

Well, well, it's not really important who found ravelry.com or how it was found - I'm just glad I'm now a member of this timeconsuming club! Thanks, Lise!

Forget about purl, just knit, knit, knit!



I've decided to make this cardingan for myself. It takes forever to finish it because I have to really concentrate - the pattern is not nearly as straigh forward as I expected it to be. In fact, I cannot proceed until I have the house to myself for at least a day, sad but true.

Baby Bibs.... again!


I don't really know that many people who drool enough for me to give them a homemade bib. The thing is that I had some yarn leftovers from the Pellefant project and I couldn't just leave them. The pattern, which is soooo incredibly easy, comes from...
