Cabled Bolero in cotton

Cabled Bolero in Cotton White

I had a lot of fun knitting this bolero.  If you are looking for something very different to knit.  You are in need of a challenge…..then you should start to knit this bolero.  It looks very nice once completed.  Some of us on Ravelry have modified this project just as mine is.  It did not fitt very nicely on me,  so  I worked the color from the waist up all around that looked much better on me then.  If I would have had more yarn it would have been nice to knit a bottom band around the waist too.  I love the way it looks on me now.

The pattern you can order from:  vogueknitting.com  from the  Vogue Knitting, Winter 2006/07  magazine.

Dieses Bolero hat mir spass gemacht zu stricken.  Wenn Du auf der Suche nach etwas ganz anderem zum stricken bis, dann ist dieses dass Richtige.  Das Bolero traegt sich sehen schoen  wenn es fertig ist. Einige von uns Ravelry Mitglieder haben es geändert  wie ich auch.  Der Schnitt war mir nicht bekoemmlich, so  strickte ich den Kragen von der Hüfte hoch um den Hals bis zur Hüfte. Wenn ich mehr Garn gehabt hätte, wäre es nett auch mit einem Talien-Band.  Doch gefaelt es mir auch so gut.

Teddy Bear

 

Teddy Bear in the making again

The gnomes I just recently finished for the Holiday Season have been such a hit with a lot of my friends. So that I was on the surge for something else to knit that would be just as much fun to make. I remembered I have this just have this great Stuffed Toy  Book from Debbie Bliss called “Toy Knits”. So many choices for all the bits and pieces of leftover yarn. 

I remembered this lovely teddy bear that looks so sweet too.  I am always having leftover yarn not enough to make a pair of mittens or socks.  But great to put the legs, arms and body together for this bear.  Or… if I do not have enough for the body then surly it will be great to make the sweater for the bears.  This snuggly bear will shortly go for a flight to Europe I hope he will enjoy the company he is going to have there. 

 But as promised to my friends and kids I will knit some more…..keep your eye open for future once.

             Teddybären Zum Stricken
Die Zwerge die ich erst vor kurzem für die Weihnachtszeit fertig gestrickt hatte, waren ein solcher Erfolg mit vielen meiner Freunden.  So dass ich auf der Suche für etwas anderem zum stricken war. Ich hatte vor kurzem ein Buch gekauft von Debbie Bliss “Toy Knits”.  So viele Möglichkeiten für  übrig gebliebenes Garn.
So erinnerte ich mich an diesen wunderschönen Teddybären. Einiges von dem übrig gebliebenen Garn ist nicht genug, um ein Paar Handschuhe oder Socken  zu stricken. Doch genug für Beine, Arme oder den Körper für diesen kleinen Bär zu stricken. Oder wenn ich nicht genug für den Körper habe dann ist es sicher genug den Pullover für die Bären zu machen.

    Dieser schmuseliger Bär geht in Kürze auf eine Reise nach Europa. Ich hoffe, er wird da jemandem Lieben  freude bereiten.

Spa Socks as requested also known as Pedicure socks

Well here it is for those  of you that regularly go to the Spa for a pedicure and like to keep their feet toasty………………look no more or should I say don’t cut your socks up for your toes to show and you to be warm.  I have the perfect cure….these socks are knit in about two to three days.  Depends on my time and yarn I use.   This is a great solution and you do not have to take the scissors to your socks.
