As a knitting snack, I made this cell phone cozy for Mr Knittitude; it suits his studies and interests. The yarn is Novita Kotiväki (black), DPNs 2,5mm, and the Invader is made in cross stitch with mouline thread (I guess that's what it's called?).

Välipala - Snack
Välipalana syntyi Mr Knittitudelle tämän alaan ja harrastuksiin sopiva retrohenkinen kännykotelo. Lankana Novita Kotiväki (musta), puikot 2,5mm, ristipistot muliinilangalla. Nopea ja kiva työ!

Viimeisin valmistunut - The latest finished object
Victoria from KnittyNovita Tennessee 100% merseroitua puuvillaa / 100% mercerized cotton
Addi 4mm
Kuva on muuten otettu takapihallamme. Varjo oli tilaustyö ystävälle, mutta tekisi mieli tehdä moinen itsellenikin...
That's our backyard in the photo. I made this for a friend, but am tempted to make one for myself as well...

Södera-sukatkin valmistuivat, kunhan saan niihin vielä kumi- ja satiininauhat niin laitan kuvia. Lisäksi keskiaikamarkkinoilta ostetusta merinosta kehräsin osan langaksi ja neuloin siitä pipon talveksi, siitäkin kuva tulossa.
I've also finished the Södera socks; I'll post some photos after I've added the rubber bands and satin ribbons. I also bought some merino wool during the Turku Medieval Faire thingy, and I've spun and knit some of it - a photo coming soon.

Tiedän mitä tein viime viikolla - I know what I did last week
During the past weeks, Irish dancing has taken a lot of my time. Tonight we've got a gig. I guess I might add a photo of my dancing dress; we made them all by ourselves, apart from the fabric being made in a factory, as well as the sewing thread.
Tässä esittäytyy sitten uusin projektini neulesaralla (vaikka niitä loppuunsaattamattomiakin löytyy vielä ihan liikaa). Lankana on Sylvi Salosen alesta kaapattu Marks & Kattensin Camomille, 100% puuvillaa. Joko tästä näkee mitä siitä on tulossa? Valmista ohjetta en käytä, koska en löytänyt mieleistä, joten odotan mitä suurimmalla mielenkiinnolla miten projekti onnistuu...
Here's my most recent knitting project (although I still have a few of the older ones to finish). The yarn is from Camomille by Marks & Kattens, I got it from a local yarn/design store sale, it's 100% cotton. Is it possible to say what this is turning into? I don't have a pattern to follow, since I didn't find a pleasing enough one... so I'm very interested in seeing what will happen with this one.
Ai niin, jossain vaiheessa pitäisi myös neuloa SixSoxin kesä-heinäkuun sukat, näyttivät mukavilta. Kaapissa olisi odottamassa vaaleanpunaista Sisua, joka varmaan sopisi niihin oikein hyvin...
Oh, and I want to knit the June/July SixSox socks. I have the perfect rosy sock yarn for them in my stash...

Shimmer
Tässä Shimmer Knittystä. Tämä ehti olla ufona melkein vuoden, mutta nyt se valmistui parissa päivässä. Lanka on Idena Cotton Sport ja väri musta, vaikka näyttääkin kuvissa vähän hailakalta. Malli on kiva ja mukava päällä, lankakin on päällä mukava mutta ehkä turhan paksu, hihat ovat hieman isot, mutta menee tämä hyvin näinkin. Irtohihoille on aina käyttöä!
Lankatiedot:
Idena Cotton Sport väri 990
65% puuvilla, 35% akryyli
Tiheys: 20 s x 27 krs = 10 x 10 cm
Puikkoina Addin pyöröt 3,5mm ja 4mm,
hihoja varten sukkapuikot jotka lojuvat
tällä hetkellä pöydällä tunnistamattomina
puikkomitan ollessa kateissa...
Here's Shimmer from Knitty. It's ufo existence was ended by me in the last couple of days, because I thought I could use some sleeves. The yarn is Idena Cotton Sport, the colour black, the photos are a bit too light. I like the pattern, and the finished garment feels nice, although I think the yarn is a bit too thick and the sleeves are not as tight as I'd like them to be. Anyway, this'll do!
Yarn specs:
Idena Cotton Sport colourway 990
65% cotton, 35% acrylic
Gauge: 20 sts x 27 rounds = 10 x 10 cm
I used Addi circulars 3,5mm and 4mm and
a set of (at the moment) unidentified dpns
for the sleeves.

Paljon kuvia! - Lots of photos!
Tänään ajattelin näyttää teille mitä viimeisen puolen vuoden aikana on syntynyt, mutta jäänyt dokumentoimatta täällä - ja myös jotain tällä hetkellä puikoilla olevaa.
Today I thought I could show you some stuff I've made during the last six months or so but have not blogged about earlier. I'll also post a couple of photos of a current project.
Naisten lapaset, Novita Wool neliraita, puikot muistaakseni 3mm. Malli oma.
Women's mittens, the yarn is Novita Wool (100% wool), and I guess the needles were 3mm. The pattern is my own.
Skull Cap Voguen Knit.1 -lehdestä (en löydä lehteä juuri nyt, joten en muista mikä numero se oli, pahoittelut!). Lankana Sisu.
Skull Cap from Knit.1. I can't find the magazine right now, so I can't tell you which issue it's from, very sorry for that! The yarn is Sisu.
Täällä on myös harjoiteltu kehräämistä...
I've been practising with a spindle as well...


Tällä hetkellä puikoilla ovat Södera-sukat täältä (kiitos!), lankana musta Novita Kotiväki, puikot 2,5mm.
At the moment I'm knitting the Södera socks, the pattern can be found here (thank you!). The yarn is Novita Kotiväki, needles 2,5mm.

Suunnittelin ja neuloin nämä sormikkaat Garnstudion Silke-Tweedistä. Puikot 2,5mm. Tarkoituksena oli tehdä sormikkaat joissa on viktoriaaninen sävy. Ja kyllä, napit voi oikeasti avata, sillä kikkailin hiukan ranneosan kanssa...
I designed and knitted these gloves, the yarn is Silke-Tweed by Garnstudio, and I used 2,5mm needles. I wanted to make gloves with a Victorian taste to them. And yes, you may unbutton these, since I made the cuff in a non-traditional way...


Lopuksi Shedir, Knittyn Breast Cancer Awareness -numerosta. Lankana Sirdar Snuggly, puikkokokoa en muista enää...
Finally, Shedir from Knitty. The yarn is Sirdar Snuggly, but I can't recall the needle size...

Bonus: I found an interesting article on 'sprang' technique here.
