Boy, Am I Glad It's Still Winter...

... 'cause I finally finished knitting a balaclava to my son. First I tried this way, then ravelled a bit, then I tried another way, didn't like it. And then I found the Toasty Topper from knitty.com, I did'nt like it either, 'cause it's hard to fit the ends of a scarf under the jacket. I changed the pattern a bit, and here it is - a balaclava:




I didn't have finances to buy new yarn, therefore I ravelled my old scarf i knitted three or four years ago. It wasn't emotionally hard to ravel it, 'cause the scarf was hideous, it was simple and striped, but the colours!

Edit (13th March): How could I ever think these colours were pretty together around a woman's neck. I like when boys wear bright colours but a nice and neat garment in dark colours suits as well. When my son runs around in the yard, it seems like six little kittens are romping around :D (there are six kittens on the hat).

Here's a glance at my Project Spectrum (March):



Will I ever finish it?

I thought that bobbin lace is a technique I'd never try. Cause it's hard to get the things needed and it seems quite difficult. But today there was a workshop in my very little hometown and I couldn't resist it ;) This is what we did today:



I hope I can practice it more in the future.

Have a nice day!
