Feeling crafty
I'm still working on the Swedish mittens. I finished the first one and the second one is coming along just fine. I'm almost at the point where the stitches for the thumb are put on waste yarn.
I did the top of the mitten in a different way than the pattern suggests. I like a pointy tip.
I'm thinking about knitting a bigger project than the usual socks, mittens, scarfs and hats. I might do Mermaid by Hanne Falkenberg. I really like the shape. I found out there is a shop in Leiden, called Ribbels, that sells the kits! I just might have to go there this weekend....
Oh, and thanks to Biba, who led me to this blog, I was inspired to make a pin cushion from felt.
Felt is such a nice material to work with. And I had all the materials to make the pin cushion in my stash. That's what I'm most proud of!

Your mittens are really lovely! And Mermaid is gorgeous! I've never done one of Hanne Falkenberg's designs though I think they are really elegant. But that's the best one I've ever seen!

Hi Saartje,
another beautyful pair of mittens that you are knitting! I love the combinations of the reds! They look so festive.
Have a nice knitting weekend!

Software engineering researchers rarely write explicitly about their paradigms of research and their standards for judging quality of results. ,
