I have put my multicolored project aside. It might be a whole lot of socks, a little bag, a pair of mittens or a hat - but it will never be a sweater. I don't know what I was thinking. The colours are wonderful and uplifting, but I can't see myself wearing all those colours.

So, for the moment I am having some mild frustration. I have nothing to knit! Well, I do have some other unfinished projects... everybody does I suppose. My mind has been occupied with other matters lately. Worldly matters of work, stress, sickness and confidence. Let's just say that multicolours does not match my mood. I would probably make better progress with something grey or black. Mail me if you have any suggestions!

My ongoing project is multistriped in lots of different reds, and I wonder if I will ever see it finished. It was supposed to become a multistriped sweater for myself. The choice of colours come from a book of artist Kaffe Fasset. I really adore some of his work, especially when I visited an exhibition of his work in Gothenburg, and badly wanted a piece for myself.

But now I am thinking... Why wait until the whole piece is finished? Why not make a small, cute, multicoloured bag to carry around right away?

This is my first posting with Blogdrive. I really really like the intuitive way of Blogdrive, and it is nice looking too!

I will post my thought, pictures and patterns of my knitting projcets on this blog. There will probably be some blogging about life and love to read for those interested in that.


Here is some proof of my knitting skills. This baby aran sweater looks just great on my 2,5-year-old daugther!

I am quite new to knitting. I learned to knit (and crochet) as a child, but for a long while I kind of forgot about this serene craft. Now, I am hooked on knitting again. I have not finished any BIG projects yet, it could be because I am a slow knitter. Any ideas of how to speed up your knitting is welcome!
