new things

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 :-) 

I really hope you like it - I think it looks more calm, clean, "grown-up" and just like Johanna from knittingmydayaway put it: "crispy". At least, I like it this way and I hope you do too! 

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, "litla prjónabúðin" and icelandic unspun wool.

(as you can see, I´ve been playing around with instagram and our cute little samsung tablet)

another "Kría"


I finished another Kría-shawl the other day and gave it to a very dear friend.
I used my own, naturally dyed yarn (dyed with Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) and some normal kambgarn from my stash... 

once again, I made an scalloped edging

 the brown colored yarn is my natural dyed yarn... can you see the wonderful irregularities?


this shawl was so perfect for my friend...
