If you follow my blog or even know me personally you know how much I love buttons. During a trip to Akureyri I found some beautiful buttons in an antique shop. Some of them seem to be handmade/homemade and what they all have in common is that they are made out of wood and leather. </div>

My little niece had birthday earlier this month. I decided she should have a cute little mousie of her own and that this would be the perfect opportunity to finally knit Ysolda Teague´s Mousie from the book Whimsical Little Knits (you can also buy the pattern online <b><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mousie-2" target="_blank">here</a></b>). <br />
<br />
This was the first time I knit a toy and it was surprisingly fun. The pattern starts with the tail/Icord and is knitted in the round, ending with the tip of his nose. I used léttlopi for this one and the pink yarn used for the tail, ears and nose is dyed with madder root. This irresistible little mousie is not only really really cute, but also an extremely quick knit... <br />

Looking at those pictures, one can discover things that normally aren't visible. I guess it takes a lot of practice to learn how to manage a macro-lens but it´s really worth it and practicing is so much fun! Here are my first shots:<br />

The first little thing I finished this year was the collar Viktoría from the book María Heklbók. This quick little project only took me an evening to make (while watching a movie) and it´s perfect if you want to use up some of your leftover yarn. Viktoría has been on my to-do-list since I got this book and since it was so quick & easy I´m sure I´m going to make more of those. I always feel like I´m wearing my Sunday-dress when I put on a nice collar - just love them & want them in thousand different colors! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Details:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used 2 kind of cotton in my favorite colors, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Schachenmayr nomotta Catania Fine in mustard-yellow and dark brown (from "Storkurinn") </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Strikkebogen pimabomull blue/green (from "Litla Prjónabúðin") </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday <b><a href="http://litlaskvis.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">litlaskvís</a></b> posted this really interesting link on Facebook, showing some amazing Japanese <b><a href="http://www.boredpanda.com/92-year-old-grandmother-temari-spheres/" target="_blank">temari spheres</a></b> - something I didn´t even know excised. I would love to try making something similar one day... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Those Japanese pieces of art made me think of a treasure I have myself: two "balls" made by my great-great-grandmother. Since I have nobody to ask, I can only guess how they are made and how they where used. Both of them seem to be made by using scrap-yarn and I think they might have been used as pin cushions? At least that´s how I use them... as decorative pin cushions with a soul and history. Lucky me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bigger one seems to be a ball of yarn or wool, covered with chain stitches (embroidery) in the round - the yarn used is some kind of wool </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/1530312_10202945817187810_1380067757_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/1530312_10202945817187810_1380067757_n.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The smaller one is covered with 8 knitted triangular´s, in 8 beautiful & different colors and therefore I guess she must have been using scrap yarn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those triangular´s seem to be knitted in the round (purled and knitted). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The yarn is really thin, soft wool yarn I wish I could buy today</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1535564_10202945819227861_1133583538_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1535564_10202945819227861_1133583538_n.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The triangular´s are sewn together with a method I don´t really understand... </div>

I was given an iPhone for Christmas (my first ever), which opens up a lot of new possibilities for me... I'm really loving it and having a lot of fun with all those different photo apps :-) I also just discovered that I can create new posts, here on my blog directly from my phone... Fun fun fun<br />

Since I finished that sweater, I´ve been wanting to make another one using totally different yarn, a bigger crochet-hook and only 2 colors... just to see how it looks and how quick this project can be.<br />
<br />
When it came to choosing yarn for this sweater, it was really important for me that it would keep my sweet little Gerður Lilja warm... it really is getting colder here in Iceland at the moment :-) I went to <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/litlaprjonabudin?fref=ts" target="_blank">Litla Prjónabúðin</a></b> (lucky me - this shop is just around the corner from where I work) and bought some amazingly soft baby-lama-wool in wonderful purple/pink/blue. I also used icelandic unspun (tvöfaldur plötulopi) in grey and crochet-hook nr. 5. I almost couldn´t believe it myself, but it took me only 1,5 day´s to finish this piece... so quick!<br />
<br />
I found out the hard way that the lama-wool and the icelandic unspun don´t have the same gauge... but the good thing about it it , that the sweater got "shaped by accident" in a really interesting and nice way. Just take a look...<br />

Since just about everything in my life has been changing in the most positive way lately, I thought a make-over for my blog would be the appropriate thing to do :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really hope you like it - I think it looks more calm, clean, "grown-up" and just like Johanna from <b><a href="http://knittingmydayaway.com/" target="_blank">knittingmydayaway</a> </b>put it: "crispy". At least, I like it this way and I hope you do too! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I´ll see you later this week, with a new baby-cardigan I made (crochet) for my irresistible little niece, Gerður Lilja. I used baby lama from my one of my favorite yarnstores, "<b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/litlaprjonabudin?fref=ts" target="_blank">litla prjónabúðin</a></b>" and icelandic unspun wool. </div>

On a weekend in August, we went on a short road-trip and took walk on one of our favorite beaches on the south-coast. I found some really beautiful pieces of driftwood - two of them where just perfect for a origami-mobile I´ve been wanting to make for a long time now. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When it comes to creating, I have a thing for "unusual material". Everywhere I go I´ve got my eyes open for interesting things (some people might say I´m crazy, but that´s why I love spending time at big hardware stores like Bauhaus). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other day I went to a place where they sell material for the fishing industry: chains, ropes and yarn to make fishnets among other things. I fell for some white, shiny, soft and flexible yarn they use for fishnets. I didn´t know what I was going to do with it, but it was way too pretty to just leave it there :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started by making a crochet-cover for a mason-jar I use for pencils at my workspace, just to get a feeling for the material. I used one of my biggest crochet-hooks and now I´ve got a lot of ideas on what to do next with this exciting material! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
A LOT of beautiful yarn for fishnet-making... </div>

I stumbled over this interesting post (from january 2012) on the "<b><a href="http://untangling-knots.com/2012/01/30/a-month-of-craft-photos/" target="_blank">untangling-knots</a></b>" blog, on a "month of crafts photos"... I thought, why not join, even if it´s a bit late, since this sounds so interesting and creative? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I´m going to post a few pictures at a time, once a week instead of 1 picture a day, since I haven´t really got the time to post photos every day of the week, starting Friday the 9th of August. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Who want´s to join me?</div>

<br />
I´ve been wanting to make the hexagon-sweater from the book "Þóra heklbók" by Tinna Þórudóttir Þorvaldsdóttir for a while and since I was going to become an aunt for the second time this winter, I started working on it a couple of months before the little one was born.<br />
<br />
It was really fun, exciting and surprising making this one. The interesting thing about this sweater is, that it is made out of 2 hexagons. <br />
<br />
I used wonderful, soft, warm and practical Yaku superwash merino wool by Strikkebogen (bought in "<b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/litlaprjonabudin?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Litla Prjónabúðin</a></b>") and hook nr. 3,5. My sister told me she wanted happy colors for her baby and that´s why I went for this strong/intensive color-combo.<br />
<br />
I had fun making it and I really like the outcome - I´d love to try making this one, using léttlopi...<br />
