Lacy Baktus for Mrs Keil

Pattern:  Lacy Baktus, by Terhi Montonen
Wool: Tausendschön Handgefärbte Sockenwolle Merino/Nylon
Needles: 4mm

Made for Mrs Keil, our school administrator who has put up with endless stupid requests and questions from me for the past 6 years.

This scarf should have been finished before the kids finished school, however the weather turned against me, and was +30 every day for 2 weeks...not great knitting weather when you do not have air conditioning or fans in our apartment!

So, the week before school started again, I managed to give this to Mrs Keil, hopefully she will get lots of wear out of this in the cool Autumns and freezing Winter months ahead....I think it will look fabulous with her gorgeous hair!

Thanks for putting up with me!!!

Trail Handwarmers

Trial Hand Warmers
Pattern: made up.
Wool: Zwerger Garn Opal Hundertwasser.
Needles: 2.5mm

An attempt at hand warmers, just to see how they work.

Cast on 60 stitches, knit 4, purl 1, and keep going.

Once you get to where you want to start your thumbs, go back and forth, to make an opening large enough for your thumb, then start knitting in the round again.

A bit small for my hands, so I gave them to Antje.

 Hopefully they will keep her hands warm in the Berlin Winter
