My first adult-sized blanket is ready and I am thrilled!
It took 1200 grams of worsted-weight cotton and around 70 hours of my time and I love it.
Also note that the birch tree in the background has full-sized leaves. Summer! Lori, now the lilacs are blooming here :)
My (hopefully) future mother-in-law taught me to broomstick crocheting a couple of years back. I have used it to make a large triangle scarf for my mum, but that’s it.
I happened to have a ball of bamboo silk sock yarn, hand-dyed by Handu, and knitting socks out of it didn’t inspire me one bit. Oh well, I thought, mum will surely appreciate another scarf for her birthday late this month…
I am using a 5 mm hook and one knitting needle, size 20 mm. 40 stitches across. It is very airy and somehow subtle, like cherry flowers or something.
Thank you, Lori, for being a friend!
Blogging is weird – in a good way! Suddenly I find myself having a friend in France.
I want to pass this on to Amimonogatari and Marjut. Both ladies have ways of inspiring me and I also have the pleasure of eating cake with them once a month :)
Here’s something I am making for our little home. I messed up with the crocheting terms as I didin’t realize they are different in the UK from the ones used in the US. But no worries, it still is sort of a square-ish and will be perfect little blanket for our sofa anyway.
On Saturday we went for a little hike in the forest and also walked to the shore for some more bird pics. These are by my boyfriend. 
I may not be a bird per se but he took a few pictures of me too :)
