Unemployment+holidays=lots of time for knitting

I thought I might update my knit-files. I have made quite a lot actually! Biggest thing was the brown jumper, which is badly photographed in this shot. It doesn't bag quite that much since I blocked it. This is probably my tidiest, most uniform knitting yet. Pat on back for moi. Then I made a little green hat for a friend in the middle of a London winter...handmade (and Peruvian) Christmas presents abound this year. Recognise the cardi?


I also made this thing out of massive wool which was so chunky it hurt to knit with. Not so pleased with this. Was very fast to knit but the sleeves are really tight and the stitches stretch which annoys me enough that I haven't worn it. So I might rip the sleeves right back and make them shorter.
And these ones of course you already know...


Finally, some booties for Cameron's friend who had a baby girl recently. Used every last inch of the bits from my stash...yess!


So that's me for now. Do you still read this blog? Meh, not that it's a problem as I'm happy to ramble to myself : ) You might be in Sweden by the time you read this! Weird.
