FO Friday: You can leave your hat on!

Winter is here and so I needed a hat, a quick one. So I found this pattern. This free pattern by Katharina Nopp is calles wurm and is knit using one of my favorite yarns, Lana Grossa Cool Wool Merino.

I rushed to the yarn store, bought me two skeins of this yammy yarn and got started!

It was so easy and very quick and so warm for your ears.

I made the smallest size and even in small the hat turned out a bit slouchy, but this is just the way I like it!

Hop over to Tamis Amis for some more FO's! 

FO Friday: Beaded cowl

First of all, thank you for all the warm welcome back comments. I feel very lucky.

 

Now, time to share some knitting! Remember that I had to frog the last project and started all over? 

I finished it!

 

I even made some new friends.

It is oh so soft made of one skein of Malabrigo lace. Check out the project page on my Ravelry for all the details. 

I'm loving the pattern, nice and simple. Want to know how I did the beading? I used a tiny crochet hook. Check youtube for a tutorial. 

One skein of the lace yarn is enough for this cowl and I can highly recommend it. It makes it an affordable project.

Hop over to Tami's Amis for some more finished projects.

Thank you

Hello lovelies

Life is rushing by...

...So very very fast. 

I've been away from blogland.

People asked me if I am well, if everything is ok.

Don't worry, all is well. Just a wee bit busy.

I'm working two jobs, I've been named Maid of Honor by one of my best friends and of course there is also some crafting going on.  

Something had to give, blogging was the first thing on the list. I didn't find the energy or the time to write and I didn't feel inspired anymore. 

But I'm back! I don't know how frequent I'll post, but the spirit is high!

Thank you all for your kind words, I'm sorry I made some of you worry about me. It warms my heart.
