With Gifts And Tags

Back from the best holiday ever - it is time to get some knitting done.

These baby hats is finally finished. They should have been that in the spring - but better late than never... It only took some hours to knit them.

And I really loved the faux cables on them. A traditional pattern made in a new way. I think they may be a little too big, but winter is long here so I hope they will come to use.

Small tags makes a little extra impression on a gift.

The pattern is from the book Babystrik på pinde 3 from the danish knit designer Lene Holme Samsøe.

She is so skilled and creative and finally her knitting design is a part of what norwegian yarn stores offer. We really really need new designs - not just old designs all over again.

There is a little difference between the yarns - but the size difference comes from my uneven knitting.

I knit tight when I start a new project. The blue was the first and therefor it is smaller than the pink one.

I have woven labels I normally sew on gifts. But I was afraid that they will scratch the babys head.

So I found some really nice tags in this shop and I think they will do. I always add some extra yarn and the wash label in a small plastic bag.

Hope you all had a lovely summer. Sorry that I have not had the time to visit your blogs. I will now - please know that I have not forgotten you!!
