Did I write about this already?
It was the fist BSJ I ever did, and it was small, I guess it fits a newborn, but there was no newborn in my surrounding who would have been able to wear it, so it will be worn by a stuffed lion whose name is 'Tiger'. He is the toy of my niece, and she loved the jacket.
I have knitted up one for her, also, but have never seen her wear it, maybe it was a little too big? and she needs to grow into it still?.
I used three sports weight strands of yarn for the bog version and 5 mm needles.

books I got from mom
Look what she saved for me :-)
Most pround makes me the posession of the most right one, a Debbie Bliss childrens sweater book. Lots of inspiration for knitting up cozy things for my nephews and nieces.
The Sandra in the middle is mens sweaters only, some a little outdated in colour choices or the neck treatment, but nothing an accomplished knitter cant handle :-) and bf browsed through and found one he wants to have, double knitted, warm and nothing to be altered on it since it is a classical shape crew neck sweater.
Time for yarn recycling and starting to document it for a tutorial.
There are some interesting projects in the Verena, too. I will have to alter some of them to make them more 21. century like but all in all a good find.
Someone wanted to ditch them and mom saved them from the garbage bin and made me very happy with them.

Socks for Alex
Finally a picture of the socks I had started for Gabe, but the cuffs were too tight, so I decided his one year younger cousin will get them.
It is a lacey pattern which looks like twisted rib, but there are no purls involved.
I hope we can get a picture where one can see the details better, then I will post about it in an extra entry.
To the front there is a sockie for sockie made from self dyed yarn in orange and blue with some white left.
It has a classical heel flap and turned heel and the banded toe decreases like the big socks I sometimes make.
In a big sock I tried to provoke pooling, so it looks a little like monet skies and I am itching to try it out, but before I do this, I will have to finish some UFOs and free some needles.

not feeling well
well, that is my mental state ;-)
Lots of things from the past rear their ugly heads, and I dont really want to go into it here, since I guess it is not so much of interest for people.
Whenever I feel down I try to get some creative stuff going and I rediscovered origami again.
It is amazing of how many good diagrams there are around the net, and here be dragon :

I like it a lot, and it happens to be that a blue dragon is my inner protector.
So I made up one and it sits on top of my monitor now watching over me.
Knitting is still going on, but no pictures in particular. When I feel like facing the challenge I finally will upload the pictures of the little crow we rescued two years ago. It is such a beautiful creature, and he even had blue eyes, and I wonder if all crows have blue eyes or if they darken to brown or almost black when the birds mature. This one was a mere nestling, still not really able to sit perched up on a stick when we found him. Must have fallen out of the nest and had great luck he was not injured, but he was undernourished and ate a lot while we cared for him. He went to a wildlife rehab place two days after we found him and there he was growing up in a flock of other young crows and when big enough they were left free to live around the rehab center. They told us, most of the birds stay around and dont wander off too far, so whenever we get in that area, we wonder if one of the crows on the field is 'ours'.
I love him even though he has not really been a long lasting part in my life.
They are so light, and so powerful, and I dont get why people are scared of crows.
This one was special because he stumbled into my life, and left a lasting impression.
