We were in Udine – that’s in Italy, up in the shaft of the boot. If anyone is interested, here is a wikipedia link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udine. Anyway, there was this wool shop and these nice ladies working there and this charming “hand-foot-gesture-crumb-Italian-communication” was just so good that I had to go straight out and get wool for a project I had picked out on ravelry the night before. On the day of departure, I had to get some wool for a baby blanket, I don’t know which baby it should be for, but maybe it will come up with someone else.

And again a Loopi, but this time a traditional one. That means I got the instructions from an Icelandic site and it is knitted from the bottom up and not from the top down like the one I posted yesterday. This one should be manageable because it’s supposed to be for a six year old. I want to hand it over in not quite a month, so maybe I can do it.

When I was in Denmark with a person I really like, of course I had to take a project home with me. Since I always wanted to go to Iceland – but Denmark is not Iceland, but at least Scandinavian – I got this loopi pattern in a very very very nice wool shop. And now I only have to knit right stitches and I’m in a knitting crisis.

This is supposed to be an “effect scarf”, based on a pattern from a very expensive newspaper. Since it is so expensive, I only have one, and only because I wanted to knit the scarf. I didn’t buy enough wool and buying the same lot was an odyssey of several weeks. Here, too, it is important to know where you are in the pattern. Otherwise you won’t see the diamond effect, but it’s hard to see in the photo anyway.

I think this should be a cap…
I tried the ballish app here, but unfortunately it’s no longer available and I don’t have the instructions for it. So I’ll have to think about whether I’ll ever finish it.
