Anyway - here are my two current projects. A Tomten jacket that was supposed to keep my youngest one warm this spring - but oh my - it is twice his size.. I guess it will be a fall jacket instead then.. I tried to adjust the sizing while still making it a bit too big so it would fit longer.. Well I guess it will be a LOT too big. The yarn is organic wool from Oehlenshläger. It still has pieces of hay stuck in it and it smells wonderfully sheep-ish.. if there even is such a word.. It is the same wool I used for DPs scarf (scroll down to see). It seems to be a very durable wool - would be great for an outdoor sweater of sorts.. (maybe a future projec??.) Anyway I love this wool :D I have combined it with stripes of "Fritidsgarn" from Sandnes in a variegated green and earth-brown colorway. Unfortunately none of the colors show very well here..
My other project in progress is a shawl with sleeves (or without - havent decided yet) by Jytte Slente from the book "Designstrik". It is a very very simple project so I tend to bring it on carrides and such because it is just plain knitting and knitting.. Hardly any consulting patterns and such. Very simple. The wool is HP Multi Mohair in the Burnt Orange colorway. It is a 9 % wool, 13 % polyamide and 78 % mohair yarn. Very fluffy and soft :)
