Hi all

Please leave a comment, if you’d like my new email address
Thanks for stopping by.

I can finally post about it, as the pattern became just now available I finished it in April. I love the pattern, but I am not too happy with the colour choice I did. Some almost solid color would have been better. Either way, it’s a lovely cardigan.

… done. Well, except the backstitching which I always do last. He turned out so cute Sorry about the photo not being so lovely.  I will start the frame tomorrow, so watch out for more photos.

I did not really knit today, so no sock update. However, I did look online and aparently about 90% of all women have bigger feet than I do (as in … they always seem to have 40 (or 8-9 US) and I have only 36 (or 6 - 6.5 US)). That makes the sock knitting really hard sometimes.

Sorry that Linabear Creations, LBC Message board and this blog either do not work properly or not at all. There are some database issues which I complaint about and was told that they were worked on. Let’s hope they know what they’re doing. I do lose my patience with this going on since yesterday morning …

If the servers are more stable again, I will show you some lovely photos

my - how I call them - clown socks are done now. They turned out great and are comfy to wear. I thought about buying some rubber stickers for tracking and stick them on. That would make the sock lasting longer and me not sliding around. Let’s see.  

Here’s my finished cozy sock. Just too bad I need more than one if both feet want to be warm and comfy. It look so giantic compared to my other sock, but it does fit - and it feels so wonderful

I am going to take a little nap now, get my RRs ready to send and then learn for tomorrow’s test, which I HAVE TO pass. I am frecking out a wee bit about it, so every good wish will be once more appreciated. After that test, everything will be easier.

I have been a busy bee. I finished my 3 d model on Friday It looks nicely and I am the first that got it done. Pics of it can be found here. I was really happy when I was finally done

During the weekend, I worked on linabear.com and improved some things - like those giantic spaces on the front page. I also designed 3 designs and stitched them up, did the mentioned biscornu description and designed another pattern. It will be a new finishing method. It is coming along so pretty :)  Hubby and I both love it

After seeing the dear Row of Love on my friend Heidi’s blog, I just had to work on my own for a little bit (thumbnail is clickable).

Look at this. It’s not snoopy, btw.

I have been out the last two days after 5 PM busy with school work, and when coming home I was busy with linabear creations work. LC is going alright all in all. I found a nice lady to team up with and print my patterns for her store soon (Monday). So that’s nice

I am off to model stitching my designer connection’s project. So far it’s only 1/10th done. Awww Gotta get the hight speed needle out

feeling bad, it rained badly while I walked Andy to school and I failed one test so far. I cleaned, washed some clothes and put dry clothes away. I also stitched.

I was thinking which project I should be working on now, with my Leporello done. I pulled out Watergarden, started stitching, but then … no colour key I must have thrown it away during our move so I have to wait to get to my parents. Ah well. My 2nd pick was Pompeji garden I bought it months ago, started a bit with the beading and then it was put away. Now it’s back up Here’s my progress pic. I hope to get part 1 done by the end of next month.

I think I will possibly finish it today, though I am taking a break right now. Anyway, here’s my picture up to now. It’s turning out awesome and I am happy I decided to work on it. Judy’s finishing instructions are great  

I worked almost all day on the finishing of the Leporello. Surely gives me a headache and hurting finges, but well worth it. I might be able to finish it off tomorrow, that’d be great Here are the front and bands attached together:

And here’s the pin cushion, I started. I leave it drying all night. Let’s hope it will look ok, as I did not many times but were unable to get rid of the little un-even-ness it has. Ah well, here it goes:

I can’t believe it’s all done. I am so thrilled. I will clean up a little bit and then start the finishing Way to go
