Yes, a new grandbaby is awaiting to arrive the Nygård-family! In July. So of course I have to knit, knit, knit….. Who knows, maybe there will be another one just around the corner….you never know in this family!
I have knitted two sets, one in wool (the green one), and one in cotton. All the designs are mine except the pink dress. That pattern is found in the Norwegian book: “Myk start”, but as usual, I couldn’t knit exzactly as the pattern….
Ja, nå ankommer det en ny Nygård-baby snart. Ja, det vil si til sommeren. Så da må jeg selvsagt strikke som en gal! Og hvem vet, kanskje det kommer enda en liten engel dalende til høsten….
Jeg har srikket 2 sett, det grønne i ull, og det rosa i merceriset bomull. Oppskriftene er mine egne, bortsett fra den rosa kjolen. Den er fra boka “Myk Start”. Ja, det vil si, mesteparten av den, måtte jo endre på litt som vanlig…

But gosh, I think I need some new reading-glasses…. I read the card from Bonnie about knittng a shawl, and thought: I can do that! But I didn’t knit it the way she directed me… I began in the neck, while the pattern was from the bottom. But, it IS shawl! Thanks again, Bonnie. The second picture is of the goodies inside
