Death comes in small packages

Slowly getting ready for the SYTYCK challenge. Bought myself yarn already, going to stick with the usual, 7 veljestä (=7 brothers) but the other colour isn't what I would call as a normal choise for me. Of course the other colour is black as expected but the other one is lime green. Can't wait to start knitting... but need to wait still for awhile. Tonight at 6pm it starts.. Spending my waiting time knitting woollen socks, friends have woken up again as the weather is getting colder.. just wonder when will I finnish those pullovers I started at least a year ago..?!? Pikkuhiljaa valmistautumassa SYTYCK haasteeseen. Langat on jo ostettu, pysyttelen tutussa ja turvallisessa Seiskaveikassa mutta väri ei olekaan ihan normaali valinta meikäläiselle. Toinen väri on tietysti musta kuten tavallista, mutta se toinen on limenvihreä. Tuskin maltan odottaa, että pääsen kutomaan.. mutta vielä täytyy odottaa hetki.  Tänään klo 18 se alkaa.. Kulutan aikaa kutomalla villasukkia, kaverit...

I haven't showed you people anything new for ages. That's mostly because I haven't done anything new just fixing old. I've started a couple of new project but they are still unfinished. But I haven't been just lazying around I took part in a knitting challenge SYTYCK, named after the TV-show "So you think you can dance". I chose the knitting style to myself, had a couple that suited me pretty well, but I ended up choosing quickstep because obviously I've been lately knitting mostly those woollen socks. Today I found out the style for my challenge. Popping and Locking. What a perfect style for me, really!!! I have very clear vision about what I'll do with this challenge. There's two techniques I've been wanting to learn but haven't found the inspiration or time to do it and now I've got the perfect excuse to beat two at once. So.. there's only one problem left.. choosing the yarn.. ;) En ole näyttänyt sivullani aikoihin mitään u...

    T-shirts for my nephew. Got the fabrics from my friend Adelheid. Had only three colours at home: red, yellow and white plus a black t-shirt pen.

Birthday present to a friend.

A necklace for myself. Quickly done last night while watching tv. The colour doesn't show in this picture really as it is. Actually it is pretty strong pink.

I had a dream last night where I was supposed to design t-shirt prints to be used in band merchandise.. Guess what I've done today.. ;)  

Something done quickly. Beez and Lady Bugz for my nephew. The little fellow prefers to have just one sock on (right picture) and then start dancing. Guess I'll be knitting him more dancing socks asap. :D
