I’ve always wanted a yarn bowl ever since I knew they existed (so, a few months ago, lol). There’s an etsy seller, blueroompottery, that sells yarnbowls that are so beautiful, and I would love to get one of those but unfortunately it’s out of my price range, mostly since I would need to pay taxes and stuff like that on top of the price. 😦

I have a teapot that I got from my mom after she broke the lid of it, but I haven’t used it at all, and so I got the idea that could be a small yarnbowl! It has a small opening for the yarn and a bigger one to stuff the yarn in the pot through. 😛 It was just too cute to throw away so this is perfect for it. ^_^

I finished a sweater for me today that I have been knitting with on and off since june, or actually my mother finished it, since I don’t feel too confident about putting zippers into sweaters and she just finished putting it in. I finished it on thursday and it has just been waiting for the zipper.

I really like it since it fits perfectly, I had to tweak it a bit since the pattern assumed all girls have smaller hips and huge boobs that are 10-20 cm more in circumference than the butt. >.< I made half XL and the top half L, and lengthened the sleeves since they were way too short when I did them according to the pattern.

I can’t wait to be able to wear it, it’s way too hot at the moment, lol!

Er loksins búin með eitthvað, kláraði peysu á pabba Daniels og svo Belluvettlinga á mig, þetta tók ekki mikinn tíma en frágangurinn fékk að sitja á hakanum meðan ég hoppaði milli verkefna. 🙂

Finally finished something, finished a sweater for Daniel’s dad and Bella’s mittens for me, it didn’t take much time but I left the finishing of the projects, weaving in ends and putting zippers, that kind of stuff for ages while I jumped between projects constantly. 🙂

Mittens, they’re not misshaped, just weird picture.

The sweater.

Ég lagði loksins í Haruni og tókst það mjög vel að mínu mati. Ég er mjög stolt af þessu. 😀 Er annars orðin sjalasjúk eftir þetta.

I finally managed to make Haruni, and it went well. I’m very proud. 😀 I’m getting a bit shawlmaking-crazy now!

Ég prjónaði þessa peysu á tæplega 2 og hálfum mánuði, með skóla. Það tók mig svona langan tíma vegna þess að ég er í skólanum og get þess vegna ekkert prjónað nema einstaka sinnum, svo var ég líka að prjóna hitt og þetta með, eins og bjórvettlingana hennar Erlu og pilsið mitt sem ég er enn bara á byrjuninni á.

Ég bjó til þennan trefil úr Riot DK, geðveikt mjúkt og þægilegt, þetta er svona endalaus trefill, bara hringur sem er vafinn utan um hálsinn.

I made this scarf out of Riot DK, it’s very soft and comfortable, it’s one of those infinity scarves, just a round thing wrapped around your neck.

Ég prófaði að skera út í fyrsta skipti á ævinni og gerði þennan hrút úr linditré fyrir pabba í afmælisgjöf því hann er hrútur, og þennan lyklaskáp sem ég festi hrútinn á. Það er mjög mikið af krókum enda á pabbi mjög mikið af lyklum, það er fura í skápnum held ég…

I tried woodcarving for the first time in my life and made this ram for my dad’s birthday present since his sign is aries and fastened it to this keybox I also made. It has lots of hooks but my dad has lots of keys so that’s allright. 😛

Ég bjó til Revontuli sjal úr evilla ull+hör. Ég held ég hafi fellt af of fast svo að strekkingin leit hálf bjánalega út og erfitt að strekkja það í svona odda eins og það á að vera, en það er í lagi, maður tekur ekkert eftir því neitt svo mikið þegar maður er með það á sér.

I made a Revontuli shawl from evilla wool+linen. I think I cast off too tightly so when I stretched it it looked kinda weird and difficult to stretch it to the points like it should be, but it’s fine, you don’t really notice it so much when you have it on.
