Door signs
This fall I've made door signs for friends. Some of them even needed them. But they're fun to make. The concept of how they're made is curtesy of another friend of mine, Ingrid Riddervold. She makes a lot of other cool stuff as well, which you can buy even. It's all about re-use of old things, paricularly vintage and retro fabrics. I recommend taking a look at her webpage.

And if any of you door sign owners don't want your name shown on the pics, just let me know, and I'll modify them not to show your names.

homemade headband
A smaller project finished this time. A headband that says Myrull. Crocheted in alpacca wool, superwarm, and I especially love the colour!

My ultimate Svalbard souvenir
In January I started crocheting.
I have always been very good at falling asleep during lectures, and the UNIS-lectures on Svalbard were no exception. I used to knit a lot, but for some reason I stopped. Probably because I was no good at it, and most of what I made didn't look very nice. Crocheting I found, was much easier. And faster. So I started making granny squares back in January, so as to not fall asleep during lectures (the lecture topics can be very interesting, but that doesn't stop me from falling asleep, I need to keep my hands busy).
In June, when I left Svalbard, I had finished all the squares, 216 in total. During the summer I have done the tedious work of sowing all the squares together, and a couple of weeks ago I actually finished my monster project, the Svalbard blanket. Hurray!
It's all in wool, and I have tried it out (it's been a cold summer) and I can tell you that it is absolutely lovely to sit under and drink a cup of tea. And I drink a lot of tea these days, with ginger and honey, 'cause I have a cold. Fuck.
And lastly, just to give an impression of the size the blanket. I have never made anything so big before! Yay!
What's the biggest thing you've ever made?
