Auction Haruni

When the city is too hot I escape to a camp site near here. My parents have a trailer there. It is an old apple tree orchard. It is a lovely place. And they have a pool. But that pool…. I can only enter it when it is a sweltering hot day, cos damn it’s cold.

One smart man got the idea to buy solar panels and use that energy to heat the pool. But the money had to come from somewhere. That is were this Haruni comes in. People will make stuff for an auction. The money raised will go to heating of pool in an ecofabulous way.

One hitch: I thought the auction would be in september… it is on the 16th of July…. But I got it right with time to spare. I think it is fabuloso ♥
Making it of a huge cone of 100% acrylic pink / lavender acrylicnastyness that I bought for a few euros on a market once…. But it looks good!

Ships and Seasides cowl

In the Tiny Owl knits group there sometimes is a KAL ( knit a long) for a certain pattern. This summer it is the ships and seaside cowl. I was gifted the pattern by my owlie friend winterfi. The yarn it is made in is the Rowan Kid classic. It is really soft and luxurious.

The knit was a nice one, really easy but enough color switches to keep me going (oh, let me just finish this color block... and another..) It knitted up really fast and I learned a new trick: kitchener stitch :) Superb way to finish things!

I'm not too sure if I like the pink/ purple side on me... maybe this cowl will be gifted so I can make another (Iwantzanodder) for myself.
There already is yarn waiting for a kidsilk haze version... :)
