Marta for Elise again

I am now working on the sleeves. Elise wants them different than the patterns says, but not in a complicated way, so we are working on that now.
It starts to look really good.

My stash

I just checked my stash and found that I have much more types of yarn in my stash than I thought. I somehow had that impression that I don't really have much, but that was a dream. Well.... all the more stuff available now for knitting and crocheting.
And for sewing as my stash in fabrics is pretty decent as well *lol*

Marta for Elise

Been working on this lately again, and now the back is done and I am working on the front. It starts to look really nice. Elise really choose a very nice yarn for this sweater. Pictures will follow when its done.
The last couple of week I have mainly been busy with knitting squares for my throw, but as I got bored with it, I switched to the sweater again.

Moved blog

Today I moved this blog to the place where I have the rest as well, so it is easier to post things on this blog without having to login and logout all the time back and forth, that is frustrating, so now it should work much better.
The only thing is that I need to move photographs as well and add them to this blog, this will happen somewhere within the next few weeks.
With a baby nursing and needing caring it can be difficult to do all in one blow.

Gehaakte stermotieven - Eva Behrens

Years ago I owned a book called: Gehaakte stermotieven, by Eva Behrens (crocheted star motivs). I loved it. For some years now its gone. I have been searching for it for ages now, didn't think of searching online, today I did. So I got lucky. I found it in a few Dutch places. One place was Bol.com, but there the 2nd hand sellers won't send outside of Holland. So that didn't make me too happy. Then I started a search on marktplaats.nl and found it 2x times there. So I have e-mailed the first seller with the question whether she will sell it to me and send to the UK. Hopefully she will. Somehow I really hate it when books that I love disappear just like that.
But then, with our move more things disappeared, which I really hate. I do wonder how this can happen. A whole box I could understand, but one thing only? Or just 2 things, that doesn't make any sense.
Hopefully no moving in the next couple of years.

Hoi Diana,

dat zijn echte mysteries van verhuizen, ik ken ze maar al te goed ;o).
Mocht het rechtstreeks versturen naar de UK niet lukken dan kan het altijd wel via mij; moet je maar even laten weten dan.

Nappie covers

A few days ago I made some nappie covers for our new baby. They turned out really nice. Soon I will post pictures of those as well. Now I need to continue with some All-In-Ones and some plain cotton nappies. Baby will not wait forever to be born.

Frilled cardigan

YES! Its almost done, and it looks good!
The only thing that my daughter doesn't like about it, is that the sleeves are to her opinion a tad long. I think they are fine. I have also told her that she can now grow a bit and not in 2 months not fit into it anymore, as she is still growing quite a lot. It just looks gorgeous, I will post a picture as soon as I have one, with her in it.
