Siste nisse for 2013, og en genser på gang, Happy New Year!!!

Da er juledagene over for denne gangen, også. Det er utrolig hvor fort det går.
Her er  +9  grader i dag, ( Oslo) og det er skremmende.Skulle ha värt -9 og snö på denne tiden av året.
Isteden er det bart, og regnbyger.
Det ser ut som väret har kommet helt av seg i vinter.

Ble ferdig med en nisse til i siste liten. Den ble overlevert den 21ste. og mottageren ble veldig glad for den. :-)

The Christmas days went very fast, and soon 2013 is ended.
In Oslo we have +9 C today, and no snow,,,,,
It should have been -9 and a lot of snow, but it looks like this winter is different. I don't like it.!

In the last days before the 24th. I finished this small doll.
She has a knitted T-shirt and trouses as the body. Long hair and a scarf, and the sweater is in process.

 

 

 

I did finish it in time, and the receiver was very happy when she got it. :-)

 

 

 

.... and a new "Dream sweater" is also in the process.

Hope to finish in a few days.....

 

I wish you all a happy New Year, and thanks for following my blog in 2013.

 

:-)

 

 

A new Tammy

I juni dette året var det en bloghop hvor vi skulle sy en liten veske, Tammy.
Mönster fikk vi av Mdm Samm,  med bloggen  http://www.sewwequilt.com/

Hun er helt fantastisk når det gjelder idéer til tema for utfordre hverandre.
Jeg var med og sydde en söt Tammy av gamle gardiner jeg fikk av min  mor.

Denne gangen har jeg kjöp et lin lignende stoff, og foret med et flott svart/beige stoff jeg kjöpte sist vi var i USA. Det passet perfekt sammen.
Denne Tammy skal bli presang til en ung dame som hjulpet meg i höst. .... uten at jeg kan si noe mere.
Det er en liten myntpung eller lebestift etui med også.....
Håper de kommer til å falle i smak.


In June this summer I participated in a blog hop with mdm Samm,  http://www.sewwequilt.com/
and we made the very cute Tammy purse. :-) Mine was with flowery fabric I got from my mam, but this time I used a linen like fabric, and the lining is a fabric I purchased this spring when I was I the US. They fitted perfect together.
The only problem we have in Sweden is to get a frame that's long enough on the sides, so the opening will be big enough. But this one is very suitable in color and  it works....

Its 4 pockets, both outside and inside.

 

 

And a small purse for coins or the lipstick.... :-) to go with it.

This will be a present for a young lady that was of great help to me lately, that's all I can say. :-)

Have a wonderful week all of you.

I wish you a happy holiday season.

See you, regards Ingrid

( feeling much better today, so it will be Christmas this year as well.....  :-)      )

PS. This is  my first Tammy, just a different frame:

 

Knitting is ok when you have the Flu.... :-(

Been in bed for some days with the flu, and felt sorry for myself....
But, that's not a way to behave, so I had to knit to keep the spirit going.

2 pair of socks are ready for Santa Claus.

I tested a pattern  with foxes from Norsk Ull, but changed it to fit my socks. I only used the fox face, and the nose and eyes I stitched. All the long threads on the back side I fastened extra, so the little boy who is going to get this will not get he's toes in the loops. :-)
The foot and heal is knitted with double yarn, 1 thread 80% wool ( Opal)  and 1 cotton.

And this you can see is the same pattern as I used for the blue socks some weeks ago.
Again I apologize for bad quality on my pictures. I have to use my cell phone for some weeks, until I get hold of my battery charger for my camera. ( Left in my apartment in Oslo, on the last visit.)

Yesterday I felt better, so I did some sewing, ( a Tammy bag, and a small purse) but I need to finish  the handle and some buttons, so this will bee for another day....
Have a nice week.
:-)
    

All elfs are dressed.... :-)

Nå har alle 3 nissene fått litt klär på seg.
Det er bare jentene som mangler luer, så det blir neste prosjekt.
Gutten fikk en annen genser, så jentens ble mest lik hverandre.

All 3 elf's has got sweaters, and the girls skirts and the boy an elf cap and a scarf.

Next in line will bee caps for the girls.

 

 

 

Have a nice day. :-)

Blånisser, Blue elf's from "Månetoppen" ( Blueberry Hill, in elf,s-land)

Jeg strikker videre på mine smånisser fra Månetoppens land.
"Månetoppen" er fra en  adventstv-serie for barn fra norske NRK.

Det er 3 små barnbarn som skal få disse til jul, så det er bråttom å få kledd på dem.

3 nisser er strikket, og 2 av dem har fått på seg litt klär. Gutten har fått lue, skjerf og genser, så han er klar. Den ene nissejenta har fått genser, og skjört, men må vel også få noe mere på hodet. Nå har hun bare masse hår og et blått hårband.
Jente nr 2 har ingenting ferdig  enda, men skjörtet er på gang.

3 Blue elf's.

Only the boy has got his cloths, sweater, scarf and elf- cap.

One of the girls have  also got her sweater, and.. 

....her skirt. The next skirt are in process. :-)

Then I only have to knit another sweater, and something to put on the girls head.

Either a long elf- cap, or a big scarf to throw around....

and a picture from last year elf's,

Have a nice day. :-)  

Hasenbach challenge

The November block of the challenge is finished.
This time I did the church. ;-)
On the picture I sent Katrin for her blog on Saturday I only had made the church, but now I also added the diamonds on the right side and the small 1 inch pieces at the bottom.
Had too much to do in the weekend, so this post is really 2 days late, but I hope you will forgive me...

...And I put in 2 birds in the birdfeeder block from earlier.

Have a nice week, and hope you are "in Route" for Christmas.
