Multiple necklaces

There’s not been much bloggable progress on the WIPs. That said it does not mean I haven’t been knitting so in due time there will be actual knitting in the posts again. Until then … some more jewelry.

Like last time I’ve used kits from Panduro. Really neat if you don’t want to increase the amount of beads already packed to the brim in a rather large box.

A blue linen necklace gifted to a friend. Luckily I picked the right color. These types of necklaces are great because they are so versatile. The pictures show two ways to wear it. I will do some for myself in another color soon I think.

A turquoise/green necklace for me. I like these types of necklaces, with the clasp in the front.

The necklaces are modeled by my new helper, miss Jay. I inherited her after my grandmother. My grandmother was a very creative person. She was a great seamstress and painter but did all sorts of other crafts as well, e.g knitting.

Home sweet home!

Five Fridays in a row abroad! It was great both in California and in France but it sure is nice being home again. There’s not much to show on the knitting front. I have been knitting but since I’ve had startitis there’s been knitting on too many fronts to have any progress to show. So, I’ve decided to try and only knit on things I’ve already started. Shouldn’t be a problem….there’s plenty to choose from.

Alongside the startitis I’ve also been very materialistic as of late. Seen in the picture below is my new spindle. It’s a Kundert spindle bought from Spinspiration, together with some wool (don’t remember what it is …). I’ve also joined the fiber club for June to August. Can’t wait to get the fibers!

Tomorrow is my grandmother’s 80th birthday. I made her a necklace. It’s Manganum from Panduro. I also bought an embossing ink pad and some stamps with flowers to make a card. The card is made with chalks on the motif stamped with the embossing ink.
