A birthday gift – Leaf Lace Stole

Leaf Lace Stole

Leaf Lace Stole: A birthday gift for an old friend – I finished it just hours before we were off to her birthday party yesterday. It was a treat making this, every single row. The yarn – yum – kid mohair, unbelievably soft and light. Very nice to work with, besides from the inclination to get entangled.

I'm thinking this might be a perfect garment for chilly Swedish summer evenings when you don't want to go inside just yet. As a matter of fact, I have two more skeins of this yarn. I'm going to cast on for another one. And that one will have my name on it.

It's really a fairly simple knit, the pattern is free and can be downloaded here.

Pretty :)!
I am just starting back with crocheting after some 20 years of a break.
I decided to start crocheting these little japanese crocheted objects called amigurumi. I know how to make a stitch etc., you know the very basic. The rest, and I'm lost. I'm practising now ;)

Thanks, both of you!

I love the little amigurumi animals (I think it's most often animals, or am I wrong?), they are so cute. I have never tried myself though.

Hehe, jag förstod att det var du Ilva! Men att Marco hade bytt namn sen sist visste jag inte ...!

Det är skitkul att sticka spetssjalar och den här var inte alls svår. Det går inte åt särskilt mycket garn heller. Prova, du kommer att fastna du också!

You've made a terrific gift and I'm sure you friend will love it.
I've stopped nitting for 18 years now but looking at your stole, maybe it's time to start again.
