Knitted Items!
Flora from Knitty turned into an autumn-flower, a quick knit which I'm quite pleased with. I really like the flower, its a nice size and shape, but the best bit is the stamens of the flower. It took me a moment to work out how they were made, and they sure add time to the flower construction, but lovely they are :-) I have used double stranded Fortissima Colori from Shchoeller and Stahl, color 2425, and 5 mm needle. I could so do another one of these, and then perhaps in a happier colour :-)
Another shawl is done. The pattern was found in the Danish magazine Femina a while ago. I fell in love immediately and will most likely be spending a considerable part of my autumn and winter wrapped in this thing. It has a perfect fit, it keeps my back warm and the 'sides' are long enough to reach around the body to be tied at the back, hence no loose ends to dip into food etc.
My version is done in Drops Alpaca (colour 7139) double stranded, on 6 mm needle (I think!)

Naaai, hvor er det dog en lækker farve dit Flora har fået !!
(og så er jeg da bare en lille-bitte-smule misundelig på dit Femina-sjal !!!)

Hold da fest, du er hurtig med Flora!
Og dit Femina-sjal er jeg ret vild med - især den del med at spidserne er så lange at de kan bindes på ryggen!
Hvor meget alpaca brugte du?

Jeg eeelsker hurtige projekter, som fx Flora. Det giver virkelig "blod på tanden" til endnu mere strikning ikke?

Hvor er det blevet flot dit sjal. Jeg er også netop blevet færdig med mit- der skal bare lige hækles en kant på. Et dejligt sjal at strikke synes du ikke?

I really like your Flora - was debating one for myself, but am completely convinced now! Also, gorgeous shawl. How I WISH I could decode the patterns in Danish. Argh. So many great shawl patterns out there.

I'm now obsessed with finding all the Floras that were finished before mine. I like your all brown version. Very nice.
