Knit

for Christmas. 
This is part of what I knitted for Christmas presents. 
 My father got this Lopi sweater. He takes our dog out for a walk when my and my family have a long work- or school day and I wanted to give him something warm to wear on cold winters days. 
 The pattern is in Icelandic and English
 I also made a shawl for my mother. It is light and lace like. It is made of color changing yarn and knitted with needle no 4,5 instead of 3.

Knitted and colored

This autumn I finished a sweater for my nice
 Since she thinks wool is uncomfortable, I decided to knit a cotton yarn sweater while following a pattern for a Norwegian woolen sweater 
 She loved that sweater and what is best is it does not sting like wool does
This fall I also tried to paint yarn with food colors. It was so much fun. I decided to paint a white einband. When I have time, I have decided to knit mittens with it and use white yarn as the main color.
