Time flies!

Time flies and it never seems to be enough for blogging and even for taking nice photos with the new camera. But in exactly two months time we''ll be flying to Finland for Christmas!!!! Can't wait...


This summer a friend =) gave me a skein of Pukkilu from http://www.handu.fi/shop/ . I started socks and I started fingerless gloves, but this what my Pukkilu yarn turned into... #09 Eyelet Cap from Vogue Knitting ... Don't ask me why Aurora wears it pulled down , but the yarn is beautiful and the hat a quick knit!
And this is Kit by Kim Hargreaves that I started in Helsinki this summer and then had to wait for more yarn to be sent...It's made with Rowan RYC Cashsoft Aran and it is soooo soft! I absolutely LOVE the stitch, almost the same as the sleeves in Pyorre by Mari Muinonen / tikru ...

This and that!



This was in the window of Max&co, and although I'm not a poncho person, this appealed to me..., so I took a photo of it flat...




And since it's been rainy for two days now... I'll show you Oliver's favourite place to watch the rain... he controls the street from there!

                                  And these are stuffed eggplant, ready to go in the oven...



And last but not least, Ilu's Pukkilu yarn has finally decided what it wants to become! It tried being a sock, it tried being a fingerless glove, and now it finally is almost ready, as the Eyelet cap from Vogue Knitting Fall 2009...
