My new camera bag

I have got a new camera. It needed a bag. Usually cameras' bags are black and look seriously. I do not think that camera bag should be like that. My bag is bright colours and look funny. It has a felted lining, I hope my camera will like it. No bag on the world will look like mine!

Finger puppets

My daughter's preschool teacher asked me to knit some finger puppets. She had have three piglets and a wolf some day but obviously the wolf ate two of them so there were just one wolf and one piglet still alive. So she asked me to knit two piglets instead of lost ones and maybe some more animals.
And I did it. I knitted two piglets and I decided that these will be the lazy ones so they must have good company to have fun with.

Crazy scarf

Once I asked to my husband: "Would you like me to knit a sweater for you?" His answer was: "Why? I have one already. I would prefer a long and stylish scarf." I agreed to knit a scarf because it was a chance to try double knitting.
I began from the both ends. Colourwork at ends is double knitted. I made the charts inspired by the Egyptian and African pattern motifs. The vertical light yellow stripes in the middle also are double knitted. I joined both ends by the middle piece - the middle is knitted in perpenducular direction and the last stich is knitted together with the stich of the last row of one of the halves. Yes, alone it looks like a snake who has swallowed an elefant but when you put it around the neck it looks good.
