Inspiration…

can come from many places, but one reliable source of inspiration are the blogs in my blogroll… I follow them on a more or less regular basis, and trust me when I say I treasure the time I spend visiting them. Beautiful work is creatively presented in each one of them, and it is almost certain that I’m inspired to do crafty things after a visit (if not, is it rather due to external restrictions in knitting time, like work, cleaning… you get the idea).

Beyond the blogroll there are the blogs I pass in my random seach for one thing or the other, somehow some of them have managed to capture my attention… and I have become a more or less regular guest in these places as well. Since these have become regular stops I actually ought to update the blogroll, however, until that happens enjoy the links here…

Beautiful work to be found here, and here and also a couple of Danish blogs always leave me inspired and in a good mood here and here… I’m sure there are plenty more out there, I like the thought of unlimited inspiration…

In between getting inspired and doing a little knitting there is yarntangler-time… When Zidane thinks it is time for some cozy yarntangler-time extraordinare he simply claims his place…

Oh yeah, and the knitting you see in the foreground of the picture is the Pudorosa Neckwarmer by Lia Moya in beige/sand cashmere (sooo soft!). I’m knitting this one for a gift so I really hope it will turn out nice, but more on that note in a later post.

2008 Wrap Up… and Hello 2009

So just to catch up there are two FO’s from 2008 which never made it to the blog. One because it was a Christmas gift for my sister and I didn’t want to spoil the surprise, and one because it was so cold outside that I had to wear it right away, before I got around to taking photos. However now photos are taken and it is time for a wrap up…

Swallowtail

Swallowtail Shawl by Evelyn A. Clark

Yarn: Evilla Artyarn

 Habitat

Habitat hat by Jared Flood (Brooklyntweed)

Yarn: Drops Alpaca (knitted with three strands of yarn)

With the beginning of a whole New Year I had to cast on a few new projects… Hoping for 2009 to be a good year for knitting!

Petersburg

Petersburg by Sarah Hatton

Yarn: Malabrigo Merino Worsted in Rich Chocolate (161)

 Gail

Gail (aka Nightsongs) by Jane Araujo

Yarn: Sundara Silk Lace in Bronzed Sienna

 Ripped Scarf

Ribbed Mini-Scarf by Celeste Glassel in a slightly modified version.

Finally two WIP projects made the transition into 2009, the Druid Mittens ( still need the final part of the second mitten) and the Icarus Shawl (I’m almost done with the repeats of chart 1, it is a lovely project to pick up once in a while). An update on these two projects will follow in a later blog post… for now enjoy knitting!
