Delft Tiles Tee is almost finished...



I did have fun knitting this top for myself but it took longer than anticipated. This is a first for me with mosaic knitting. I'm glad it'll be finished before I start the Ravelympics.

It's blocking while I Ravelize with friends from far away and choose patterns for my athletic endevors.

For felting freestyle I'll make a lamb (thanks to a friends help with the pattern since I don't crochet, this little lamb is knitted with short rows) .

For the socks well now I have so many patterns on my mind it gets me dizzy. I'm thinking of windowpane socks or Schurch's Cloverleaf Eyelet or Jacobean socks (maybe I'll make all three!).

Xmas gift "holiday Handball" I'm thinking of a Heart scarf by Stéphanie Roy on Knitty.

Finally, the hat dash is the hardest to find a pattern for. Maybe I'll make another snowball hat or the sherif hat on knitty... still shopping for the right pattern.

Amigurumi by Haruki



I started off quite early today to do some cleaning. Unfortunatly, I started to look up sheep patterns on Ravelry and ended up traveling to Japan where Amigurumi patterns flourish. Since I cannot comprehend Japanese I went back to Ravelry to look up "Amigurumi" patterns. I am astonished by the many patterns that exist. My favourite pattern is on this blog page

I don't crochet but I sure will try because I like the little sheep.

Canada Day A!


Have a fabulous day off!

My loony cat is taking it easy today. I am too =: )

I'm planning a stash for my summer swap for stefanina from Switzerland. She has so much stuff from what I can see on Ravelry that I find it a little overwhelming. I'll have to put my thinking cap on.

Hope you'll all have time to knit. I'm continuing my summer mosaic top. Fun, fun fun!
