My husband helped me put the Etsy link on the side bar. It even took HIM awhile to figure it out. I shudder to think how long it would have taken me had I not had his loving assistance! He is also assisting me today by taking the kids to the pool so I can do some work here at home.
I am weeks behind in all my correspondance. I am so sorry to be so slow to answer your questions and thank you for all the wonderful words of encouragement you have given me. You can see by my shop that your continually support is really a help!
Today the shop is full of babushkas On Monday I sold out the remaining babushkas in the shop: Ingrid, Iselin, Anniken, Liselotta and Torill! Right now you have a chance to get two or three dolls together in the same series. I have to say I really love how they look grouped together.
I have been dying to show you the sweater I am working on! Here is a bit of the second sleeve - yes - the first one is done already.
I bought the book, Maskeball by Tine Solheim, with my birthday money (Thank you to my in-laws!) I never would have bought the book with my own money because it was pricey, but I found it absolutely gorgeous and saw many things I wanted to make. Here you can buy knitwear designed by Trine and it is in English!
Here is the one I am working on, for myself! I haven't made myself a sweater since before I had kids.
I would love to make this one too.
Aren't the crochet edges on this pink number lovely?
It would be a fantastic challenge to try to crochet a sweater like this, especially because I only know a couple of stitches and I don't really know how to read crochet patterns.
I like the colour of the yarn. Beautiful! Happy knitting, Emily.

Congratulations, Emily. Items in your shop are lovely - and are disappearing quickly. I'm very happy for you and of course I'M not suprised.
I love the sweater - the colour is great! I hope I'll learn to knit one day - well I do know how to knit, but I don't know how to start and finish :o)

Hi there! I saw your doll on Barbara's blog and just fell in love with it. I am having a baby girl in July, and I think they would look darling in her room. I love those dolls. My blog is everythingexpectant.blogspot.com
Do you have 2 dolls left?
