I've been buzy making sure my friends have warm hands, and of course at the same time diminishing my yarn stash.

Kuvassa esiintyvät kauniit kädet kuuluvat miun kämppikselle.

The first hand warmers are made from red Novita's Pirta yarn. The pattern is from the book Last Minute Knitted Gifts, but I lengthened it a bit. The book says it'll take from 2 to 4 hours to make them, and they weren't kidding. (Naturally I had to time it, and it took me about 3 hours)
The pretty hands in the picture belong to my room mate

Tässä kuvassa toimin itte mallina. Himpun verran haastavaa ottaa kuva ittestään, niin että molemmissa käsissä on kuvattavaa tavaraa.

This pair got it's inspiration from the same book, but I just modified it a little bit. Finally I used the single skein of Novita's orange Samos Lollipop that I had. I had an unfortunate orange period going on when I was 11years old, and after that I've found orange kind of repulsing but I had to buy the yarn 'cos it was only 1€... Fortunatelly my friend doesn't harbour any hostilities towards orange, plus I added a little bit of white Samos yarn so it wouldn't be too boring.
These are modelled by me. A little challenging taking a picture of yourself wearing something in both hands.

On friday I found a button on the street, so obviously I had to take it with me and photograph it. Now I just got to figure out what it wants around it...a bag? a shrug? a cardi? I'm very open to suggestions! The button is a bit darker brown than it seems in the picture, and about 2,5cm (an inch) in diameter.
