Just Knit It

During the 2012 events (Olympics and Ravellenic Games) I have been knitting up some quick relaxing knits using my Just Knit It pattern.

Here are a couple; you can find more examples over on the ravelry pattern page (click on the link - if but you'll have to sign in on ravelry to see them).

Colour combinations

I just love when I find two yarns that go together to make a great knit.

These are some of the ones I have waiting to be knitted up:

Inspira tea light ?

My daughter made this before I made the Inspira Cowl, but now I'm seeing Inspira's everywhere.

Today's shot of colour

Missoni scarf

More oranges

Cool Britannia mosaics




Made by my multi-talented daughter ;)

 

Still grey and rainy outside...

January - a month for colour

Here in Northern Europe, January tends to be a long, grey month, so I thought I might try to counteract that by posting a "colour" picture every day (or as many days as possible).

More sweets ... these are a Belgian speciality known as "cuberdons" - they are hard on the outside and have soft centres ... and are very, very sweet. They come in range of fruit flavours.  



p.s. If you have good eyesight or can zoom in, you might get a chuckle out of the translation of "Fruits des bois" (fruits of the forest) as Fruit woods. If that sort of thing makes you smile and you haven't already read Lost in Translation: Misadventures of English Abroad by Charlie Croker, you might like to take a look at it.

Colour is all around us...

I emptied the oranges out of my new bowl so I could take photos for my ravelry stash.

Then I plonked the yarns down to wait for their turn in the bowl ...  

Instant still life!

My turn!
