Tuesday

by Ada on March 9, 2010

So, a week has gone by where I worked evenings on the blanket. Actually it’s quite fun to see every block get together. So I don’t mind doing the crocheting.

Here’s an update on how it looks now. Getting very close to the finish line.

I also managed to finish some socks for a friend. Sunday Swing socks in a swing color. Hope she likes them.

There on it’s way to my friend at this time so hopefully she’ll recieve them within the next 3 days.

Have a nice day!

Friday Already

by Ada on March 5, 2010

Wow time sure goes fast when you’re busy.

During the day I’m knitting some socks and dishcloths when I feel like it.

See, one sock down and one to go. Actually about a half to go. These knit up very fast and I love the pattern.

This is one of the dishcloths I’ve made. From the January Kal over at krisknits.

Lovely design. I’m now working on the february Kal.

Besides knitting I’m crocheting squares together in the evenings. It’s actually going really well. I don’t even mind doing it.  I’m just glad that i’ve got a picture on the side so I can check where I am. I’ll post an update about the blanket next week.

Have a great weekend!

Quest to finish the crocheted blanket

by Ada on March 1, 2010

I was on a mission..a ravelympics to be precise. And on the last day I managed to finish all the squares that I had as my goal. Here it is in all it’s glory!

Now the next quest is to crochet it all together.  I really should count all the squares that I’ve made. I have no idea how many there are. The blanket size is about 80 x 160 cm.

I’m here again

by Ada on February 18, 2010

With an almost better feeling back. The last few weeks the only thing I could do without pain was lye on the couch. My back was killing me. Seriously!

I went to the therapist and he put my spine in the right order again. Now I’m meeting him once a week to do exercises. Going better each week now.

While I was down the only thing that I could really do without to much trouble was crochet. So I worked on my son’s afghan. Which I also made my Ravelympics project.  My goal is to finish all the squares by the time the olympics end.

More then halfway through so keep your fingers crossed.

Nail art Saturday

by Ada on January 30, 2010

Last thursday I was watching you tube video’s on Nail art.  Today I had to try it for myself. This is the result of a night off creativity and a € 1.30  stampset. Hopefully they will last a week.

Have a nice weekend!

Tuesday already

by Ada on January 26, 2010

Time is going to fast. I can hardly keep up with things.

I’m working on my son’s crocheted blanket. This is the year I’ll finish it for him. Halfway through it looks like this

It now meassures 80×80 cm pre-blocked. So I’m making the same amount of squares again to make him a blanket that will be 80×160. That’s I nice size for a 6 year old.

Also worked on some dishcloths. Still in progress of finishing the clues for the Kal, but did finish this house cloth designed by Krisknits

I hope to be a better blogger. Wishing you all a very nice day!

ZoZo

by Ada on January 7, 2010

Yes indeed, the first finished project for 2010 is ready. And it’s Zozo.

Here he is playing in the snow.

And here he’s defrosting near the pc.

With this finished I had to find some other projects to work on. And this will be my year for dishcloths. So I joined a KAl that’s hosted by Kris at KrisKnits.  I finished the first clue and I’m waiting for the next. In the mean time I’m browsing through ravelry in search of other nice dishcloth patterns.

Have a nice day!
