Knitting Pins

Oh joepie, mijn breinaalden set is net aangekomen. Ik heb ze voor mijn verjaardag gekregen, eigenlijk zelf uitgezocht maar vrienden en familie hebben dit jaar een bijdrage geleverd. Ik kon het niet weerstaan om ze meteen open te maken. Ze zijn geweldig, ik ben zelfs al begonnen aan een muts voor Lucas. En daarna maar mijn “specialiteit” een bijpassende sjaal, dan heeft hij ook een leuk setje. Alhoewel de winter zo te zien al bijna voorbij is, het is echt schitterend buiten, maar het kan alle kanten nog op en dan is het zeker in de ochtend wel lekker voor zo’n kleintje om een muts en sjaal te hebben.
En bij deze; Lieve familie en vrienden, heel erg bedankt voor de mooie set breinaalden, lieve kaartjes, en bezoek, ik heb er heel erg van genoten!

Oh goody, my needle set just arrived. I got them for my birthday, but I actually self-selected them, friends and family have contributed this year. I could not resist to open them at once. They’re great, I even started a hat for Lucas. And after that I’m gonna make my “specialty”, a matching scarf, then he also has a nice set. Although winter seems almost over, it’s really beautiful outside, but it still could go the other way and certainly in the morning it can be cold, so for a little one its is nice to have a hat and scarf.
And I would like to say; Dear friends and family, thank you very much for the lovely set of knitting needles, sweet cards, and visit, I really enjoyed it!

Have a good crafty day!

Monday Mannequin

Thanks for dropping by, have a nice time reading this post :)
After 2 cups of coffee, some bread and yogurt for the children, my day starts of with my Monday mannequin. I ordered a lovely female torso mannequin to restyle and show my new knitting projects on. I can put “her” in the living-room or anywhere I want, because she is so small but she elegant as well ;) I want to give her a nice appearance, any idea’s are welcome. Should I knit a nice top for her or just cover with my yarn wrappers, like an example in this book. (see picture below)

Monday morning is not a good time for me to be creative, my kids misses there father and I need loads of coffee to get my brain started. After my kids play like little “angels” in the living-room  I can get my mind set to the things I want, 2 min later; mommy! Lucas is stealing my car, and I say, kids there 2 cars get one each. This is a little example for the rest of the morning… and Mommy’s creative thinking time has to be forced in the 2 whole minuets I don’t have to play referee… Well it’s not that bad ofcourse I like to exaggerate a bit. It is nice to have 2 sons, and they play very nice already with each other, Daniël is becomes in May 3 years and Lucas is 10 months, so I can’t expect from them to play alone and leave this Mommy alone with her thoughts, to do some creative madness. I’m just so blessed with 2 lovely boy’s that it is a little effort to get my creativity on hold to the evening :)

But that does not mean I can’t think what to do with my torso project… and all the yarn I have stuffed in my knitting crate. Witch now I think about it, I need to do something with that crate as well. Really any thoughts and inspiration are welcome about getting to color it up a bit with yarn or paint… Here is my still “naked”  mannequin torso.

Anyways to get back to the torso and the crate this is an idea I got from the web, it looks very colorful but there is not a pattern with it. Maybe I should just measure the crate and start knitting for it… For the torso it’s not that difficult, “she” had a European size 36-38 I should be able to find a nice pattern on the web for it. Here is a picture for some inspiration for the crate…

Now I really have to get my needles and get started…

Have a nice day!
