No work on RR today.

Bettina is done - finally!

It sure took a while but reality caught up and clenched its jaws around my knitting needles. But now I am done, about 1½ months after my intented deadline. The prowd recipient, Anna (sorry about her chin and lip, she had a quite severe encounter with a very heavy ladder the day before):

So now I am working on making a small version for Annas BabyBorn, Maja - later Anna will get the Surprise HelloKitty purse which I know she will totally adore.
By the way: I chose to sew the Hello Kitty onto the top afterwards instead of knitting it directly because my intarsia skills are not up to my maybe perfectionistic standards - now Kitty is even, no jagged edges or anything - but maybe a bit heavier fabric, which I can live with looking at.

Action Shot!

Okay, so I promised I'd get you a picture of Penny wearing the shirt.

Here you go!<-----

Knittacia have finished her bag!

It took some time, but now it's finely finished!

Finished Penny's HK Top!

Hooray! I finally have a picture for you all. I wanted to get a picture of the recipient wearing it, but she won't be over until the weekend, so I had to at least post this picture. What a fun pattern! And I didn't even ruin the embroidery (though I now see that there's a ring from the embroidery hoop visible on the shirt.Oops...)! I can't wait to do the crocheted bag now!

Hallelujah!

Because I am done with the knitting part of the Hello Kitty shirt. I even wove in all the ends before putting it between two wet towels to block. Yay me! It's not that this was a tortuous pattern or anything, I just kept working on other things and put in a marathon day today and sheeeet, my wrists hurt. Penny will be over tomorrow so I will double check measurements, then all will be left are seaming and embroidering the face. Pictures will come soon...

Looking great!!!!

I've been away for a week now, so it was so fun to see how many nice tote's and tops that have been completed whilst I've been away =)

The gallery is now updated, but please e-mail me if I forgot to include your 'work'!!

Keep up the good work, and lets hope that summer will come soon, the weathet is freeeezing cold in Sweden today...brrrrr. Not to mention that the rain does nothing good for my curly hear. I'm talking frizzball =)

Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
