Nýtt ár, ný verkefni.

Síðastliðin ágúst byrjaði ég í FB á textíl- og fatahönnunarbraut. Nú er önnur önnin mín byrjuð og ég er mjög spennt fyrir henni, margt spennandi á dagskrá.

Föndraði mér skissubók.

Þessa önnina er þetta á dagskrá...

 This term at school I will...

Hanna og sauma buxur,

Design pants,

Allskyns útsaumur,

Learn different types of embroidery,

Hanna prjónaða flík,

Knit design,

Teikna,

Draw, 

Læra listasögu og

Study art and

lesa nokkrar skáldsögur.

read a few novels.

Gamall íslenskur útsaumur. Litasprengja með meiru!

Fyrsta skólaprjónið.

Get ómögulega ákveðið hvort ég vilji skrifa á íslensku eða ensku.
Bíst við að Íslendingar séu meirihluti lesenda.

En ég persónulega þoli ekki þegar ég rekst á áhugavert blogg á eh úttlensku sem ég ekki skil!

Anyways

Tiny cardigan & black doily

Hi there.
I don't have anything new to show off so I thought I'd show you two things I knitted at school.

Teeny tiny cardigan.

 

 

My black doily

That is my first ever doily. I think I'll make loads more I find them fun.

This and that.

Hi there.
Since the last time there has been life on this blog many things have happened and been made. I've finished the school I was in (Hússtjórnarskólinn) and got 9,11 (10 being the highest) average grade! Really happy about that.
 I have tons of projects I did there to show but I will dot that over a long time. Good way to fill up some posts in the future.

I'm working on three things right now, but only showing you one today. I'm crocheting a crazy looking blanket. It's from Icelandic crochet book called Þóra and the blanket is called Sjónarhóll (The house Pippi Longstocking lives in) I'm putting a little twist on the blanket by making different squares that in the book.

And I'm starting a new job on Tuesday. Really exciting.

Until next time.

colorful over-alls

Today I finished sowing my toddlers over-alls.

As you can see they are absolutely adorable. I'm pretty proud off them.
I was going to take a picture of them with the sweater I made few weeks ago but it was locked in a closet so no luck there.

until next...

Hardganger & Crochet

Hi there.
Since my last post I've learned two new crafts. Hardganger embroidery and Crocheting.

My hardganger. This will become an apron.

My crochet is a bit crooked. But I'm learning.

I got these beautiful crochet hooks at school.

I've also sown a kid's jersey sweater, but I don't have a picture of it. Will take a picture for my next post.

 Have a nice weekend.

delicate stiches

This is what I'll spend my time on during my school vacation.

It's a christening gown.

Parent's dinner Part.2

I've got a few more photos from friday, all from the weaving class room.

Rósabönd to the left and Hringjavaðmál to the right.

Tvöföld Rósabönd.
The green and brown one is mine.

Adorable baby blankets.
The last thing i wove in this class, the green and purple blanket.

Værðarvoð or just Cozy Blankets.
Mine, of course is purple and brown.

Stunning hand made scarves.

There is my favorite blanket.
I call it Skráka teppi or Bjoys blanket.

And I wanted to show you my Kransakaka.
I won't take all the credit though.
We we're two making this.

Parent's dinner Part.1

Last night, at my school there was a dinner party. We, the girls from the kitchen group prepared lots of great food for our parent's and friends. I invited my mother-in-law and my grandmother-in-law.

My group. I'm the teeny tiny one.

After the dinner, we went upstairs to look at all the things the student's had made the first 7 weeks of school.

Linen for cribs. Mine is in front. My Dream Palace.

Crazy Quilt.

Yes. I like purple.

Hand-Felted scarves.
Mine is the beige one with the blues.

Baby hat, mittens and socks.
I made the purple set up front.

Felted scarves and lopi-shoes.

Tons of classic wool socks.

 

This is enough for today.

I have lots of more pictures from last night that will go in part 2.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

From now on this blog will be in english.

So, if there's anyone new looking at my pretty little blog, here's a recap.
I'm currently studying at Hússtjórnarskólinn, my best translation would be the "Housewife's School". At this school I'm learning all kinds of useful things, such as cooking and baking, knitting is a subject (although I'm not learning that much, just enjoying knitting), embroidery and sewing, weaving on a loom and soon I'll be learning how to crochet as well. Oh and of course cleaning, all upcoming housewives know that "a clean home is a happy home".

This is the lopi-sweater I'm knitting in school. 

My wool childrens blanket on the loom. There is another one underneeth mine.

The blankets I've made. The brown and purple one is the first one I did.

Hope you like my little cutsie blog.

(i really like the changes)
