Some new and some old knitting....

I've been knitting... I always have some knitting lying around for times when I need an excuse to sit down and do very little, but still look like I'm doing something, if you know what I mean. I'm not very good at blogging my knitting though. I tend to start using my knitted stuff as soon as it's finished.... like the beret on this photo.... I knitted it over a year ago, and I've used it loads... I didn't even have a picture of it... sheesh... I used a free pattern from Garnstudio for the beret, you can find it HERE.

I thought it was a good opportunity to blog my beret now with my NEW fingerless gloves. I used the same yarn on them as I used for the beret, so now I have a set.... The yarn is from my stash. It's really oooooold... it was something I got after my late grandmother, and I 've had it for years and years (gran died in 1995, so I guess I've had it since then.... and I'm sure she had it in her stash a while before that...) Lol...

The free pattern for these nice gloves is made by Ruth/Ullhedina. The gloves are a perfect fit. They're knitted on two needles back and forth, so they're really easy to knit up. I'm already planning on making some more of these. Ohhh... and look what hubby brought home.... a Nespresso machine! Wow... I'm luuuurving it! It was supposed to be a shared Christmas present from him to me and from me to him, but we couldn't wait until Christmas to start using it.... lol...
Well.... off to make myself a coffee....
