Lucy for Ulrike

About a week ago I also started knitting Lucy for Ulrike for her birthday. She will become 40 this year and I needed to do something really really nice for her.
So there we go, I bought a very nice yarn, a combo of silk and cotton, I really got lucky with that and it knits so very nice, its just wonderful material.
I do have a deadline on this, which is something I kinda hate, but never mind, should work as I still have 3 months to get it done and the lace edge bottoms are already done.
I sure hope she likes it.

Received my package

This morning I received my package of patterns and yarn from Joan from White Lies Designs.
It contained a ton of patterns that I want to make - I wish I had more time....
And it contained 2 yarn packs, one for Gina and one for Lucy, which I will make for my SIL. I am sooo exited.

Quick and Dirty

Yesterday I started knitting these stockings. They are getting on pretty quick and start to look really nice. Its a great pattern I think. Its no doubt useful for other garments as well. I can see it in various ways used in my head already :-)
Photo will follow. On with the knitting now.

Elann Esprit

Yesterday I received 12 balls of Elann Esprit black yarn. Its the cotton yarn with some elastic in it. I will use this for another Trish, with Monica stocking sand Quick and Dirty stockings. I am sooo looking forward to knitting that again, it was such a joy to do. Maybe I will even knit it in bright red as well some day. We will see.
