There is a frog pattern in one of my Finnish craft magazines and last week I decided to knit it.
Of course this was quite late in the evening and I couldn't go out and buy some green yarn so I settled for pink... His name is Frank and he is a bit wonky due to the fact I was watching a very thrilling episode Veronica Mars while knitting. I really should find some buttons to use as eyes, he's creeping me out.
Here is my mum's clapotis. It took me about three days to knit, it's "scarf sized." It had to be finished for mother's day so I couldn't make a full sized one. I used a cotton and acrylic blend yarn, which felt very soft compared to my own sock yarn clapotis.
Good news is I'm not dead, I got a summer job and I'm living with my dad, so no internet connection. I'm currently in Helsinki visiting Susku, who does have an internet connection.
Here's what I've been working on lately, a cardigan and yet another fat bottom bag! I've been very lucky lately when it comes to yarn, I found the yarn for both projects at a flea market. I got 10 skeins of the yellow yarn for 6 euro and 8 skeins of the pink yarn for 6.50 euro. Yay for cheap yarn! I also found a really cheap bag with the perfect handles for the FBB, only 4 euro. I'm thinking of giving the FBB to my aunt as a late birthday present when/if she visits us this summer (I'm not sure it's 'fashionable' enough for her...)
