Turning Two!

I really cannot believe that my son has turned two. It is absolutely amazing. We had a big party with family and friends, and he sure enjoyed being the centre of attention. I made my cup cakes once again, but this time I had ordered a Wilton stand to put them in. Fab or what? I just love ebay.

For celebrations...

This may be my prettiest work so far. It was supposed to be for my son for the 17th of May, but I never managed to finish it. Luckily I chose the biggest size, so this will still fit him quite a while. It better. I have to give credits to my grandmother who helped me quite a lot, she did the arms and helped with the button edge.

The original pattern is from Dalegarn, and the original colours are absolutely horrendous, but I saw this jacket in colours close to this on a blog, and fell in love. I chose silver hooks to give it the kind of national costume-feel, but I will definately use this as much as I can in all kinds of situations considering the amount of work.

Pink for my princess

At last I have managed to knit something for my little niece! I am usually not a fan of multi coloured yarn, but in this case I made an exception. I absolutely loved the fresh summer look it gave this little coat when I first saw it at Garnstudio. I also really like simple wooden buttons. I tend to think that baby buttons shaped like cars or bears take the attention away from the garment itself, so I like to keep it simple. Can´t wait to see my little, beautiful princess in this!
