Our interests in knitting right now...

As I mentioned in my last post I recently knitted a new scarf. Here it is:

Scarf 1

As you can see, I did a tube scarf because I wanted to have something very warm for next winter (Austrian winters are usually quite cold). I bought the yarn last year and cannot remember what particular one it is (I do remember that it was especially recommended for scarfs). It feels very soft and cosy, though. I used simple stockinette stitch.

Me wearing it:

Scarf 3

As you can see, I finished the seam so that it's invisible when the scarf is folded. I just turned the scarf around after half of the seam was done and did the other side:

Scarf 4


My mum has been knitting lots of socks (different sizes and different patterns that she came up with herself, using sock-yarn made of microfiber). I especially like the white/grey ones because they have such a wintry feeling:

What I've been working on lately:

Bunny 1

This little bunny is a prototype because I've been trying out different leg/ear/body forms. Embroidering the bunny's face is really difficult and I'm still not quite satisfied with the outcome. Need to practise a bit more. I'm completely in love with the little bunny right now, it's so cute!

Will try to finish it tommorow. Pictures soon hopefully!
