April
After this dream weather at Easter and the last five days with up to 26 degrees, we returned to normal April temperatures of currently 9 degrees. There was also a lot of rain at night and that's a good thing because we want green nature.
So it's the right time to present my UFO project... my cardigan made of 9 thread cotton yarn, with needle sizes 4 and 5.
Knitting the pattern from the left side is not my favorite, one of the reasons the jacket turned into a UFO.
But now ... oh comme c'est beau.
I will wear the jacket now until temperatures warm up again.
The lilac bush behind me is already so far ahead...
just like other blossoms on trees and garden flowers.
I baked several times - here quark cake with mango, delicious - and we had many picnics in nature. I feel like I've been outside the whole time :-))) in this wonderful weather we had.

| Peach jelly cake with whipped cream |
I sewed with unusual materials - leather, magazine paper and foil... the result is this small bag with an inner lining.
What a maker you are. The jacket is stunning. Also the food!
AntwortenLöschenDearest Viola,
AntwortenLöschenThat cotton jacket is a stunner!
Also your exotic looking bag.
Big hugs,
Mariette
Hei Viola!
AntwortenLöschenJakken din er veldig fin, og det er også så flotte farger på den. Nydelig magnolia! Våren er kommet så langt hos deg, og det må være deilig å kunne se så mange blomster alt nå.
Klem fra Marit
Du er virkelig kreativ, Viola! Så fint å se alt det flotte du lager!
AntwortenLöschenJeg har også en del UFO'er liggende. Det er en god følelse når en har fått de ferdig. Og jakken din er bare helt nydelig!
Også her i Sveits har vi hatt det ekstremt varmt. For noen dager siden hadde vi 27 grader her i nærheten av Basel.
Jeg holder på å lage forskjellig som jeg skal prøve å selge på et marked om tre uker. Det er for det meste kort og journals, men også en del artikler som er strikket og heklet. Det er alltid spennende å være med på noe sånt.
Ønsker deg en fin vår!
Klem fra Liv

AntwortenLöschenWowww, for en kjempefin jakke! Skjønner godt at dette har vært et UFO - prosjekt, men veldig flott når den ble ferdig!
AntwortenLöschenDeilig med alle de nydelige vårblomstene rundt omkring, - og at temperaturen har blitt såpatt høy!
Jeg drar til Kypros om to dager, og håper på bare fint vær.... ikke regn.
Ønsker deg og din familie fortsatt en fin vår!

Hej Viola!
AntwortenLöschenVilken vacker stickad jacka du har gjort. Vacker färg och fint mönster. Ser härligt ut med allt som redan blommar . Vi har haft några dagar med sol och 17 grader, men nu är det 7 och grått och regnigt. Kakan ser riktigt god ut.
Ha det så bra /Kram Marika

Allt gott!

AntwortenLöschenThe cake looks delicious.
Greetings Irma
Bonjour Viola,
AntwortenLöschenMais, ce cardigan est superbe ! il vous va bien et j'aime bien aussi le sac que vous avez créé. Mes compliments, vous avez de multiples talents !
Ici, en région parisienne, après des jours et des jours de pluie, nous avons enfin un peu de répit et avons eu du soleil hier et aujourd'hui avec des températures agréables.
Cela fait du bien de pouvoir se promener dans le jardin sans parapluie !
Je vous souhaite un excellent weekend (créatif peut-être ?)
Hugs
Hélène
Your knitting is so beautiful and so complicated and I am in awe. And the cake looks fabulous too! Happy to see your post!
AntwortenLöschenBeautiful knitted jacket. The colour looks lovely on you. Lots and lots of rain here and some blustery winds. The next few days are going to be dry so I shall be outside in the garden. Peach jelly cake looks delicious
AntwortenLöschenand your new bag is so unique. You are very creative x
Me gusta los pasteles. Te mando un beso.
AntwortenLöschenI love your jacket you knitted, beautiful blooms-my lilacs just started to bloom this week-and yum on the desserts. Love your bag too-hugs Kathy
AntwortenLöschenBellissimo il maglione e anche le tue foto dei fiori !! La torta deve essere buonissima !! Brava per l'idea della borsa ! Saluti.
AntwortenLöschenThat sweater/jacket is beautiful, you are very talented. We're having some rainy weather here in central NY state, the leaves and bushes are just starting to bloom. I was in Norway in March, and the weather was so nice, compared to a few years back and it was just blustery. I love the spring time, my tulips are coming up now...
AntwortenLöschenHello Viola :=)
AntwortenLöschenYour knitted cardigan looks "super duper" on you, and you are an accomplished knitter to make this, which to me looks like a difficult design. Your bag is also unusual and artistic. I like the look of your home made pie, and all the beautiful flowers in your garden.
All the best
hugs

From 26°C down to 9°C, that's a huge difference! I'm sure you were glad of that cardigan, which is gorgeous by the way.
AntwortenLöschenAnd then those delicious looking cakes! You are a lady of many talents, Viola!
Love your blossoms and flower photos, and I'm glad you finally got some rain, which is making everything lush and green! xxx
Looking at these knitting photos I get memories of my mother with needles and yarn, good cake for sure delicious. The primarvera is beautiful in bloom and makes us reborn.
AntwortenLöschenHappy weekend.
Best regards
Her var det mye å kommentere! Det ble en veldig flott jakke, nydelig farge og flott mønster!
AntwortenLöschenVakre blomster, og kaker som ga meg vann i munnen!

Mooi tasje heb je ook gemaakt. Leuke combinatie van stofjes.
Heerlijke taart, lekker fris.
Fijne week, lieve groet Willy

Så flink du er! Jakken ble kjempefin til deg! Du syr og baker. Det ser så lekkert ut. Fristende rett og slett. Jeg har vært på skitur i dag. Det er masse snø på fjellet, og i dag var det helt magisk.
AntwortenLöschenKlem til deg Viola fra Ingunn
Så flott jakke du har strikket, helt nydelig! Og så er det deilig å se bilder av vår, grønt løv og blomster - ser ut som nordnorsk sommer. Kos dere masse og nyt våren. Klem, Oddi

Hei Viola. Så nydelig jakke du har strikket.
AntwortenLöschenOg ser der er vår hos deg. Her har vi også vår men det er iskaldt om dagene og litt frost på nettene ennå. Men det er nydelige dager her nord. Jeg skal vise deg bilder av konfirmanten med bunaden på, bare å glede seg, det er vakkert. Klem fra Sølvi
Gratulerer med ferdig UFO, så fin jakke! Enig med deg at å strikke mønster fra vrangen er ikke morsomt. Så deilige vårbilder. Våren her hos oss går litt mer langsomt, men vi er i rute med de små vårblomstene. Og det er deilig å sitte i sola på verandaen og lytte til lydbok og strikke. De kakene dine så fristende ut ..... Fortsatt god vår, klem Marit Johanne
AntwortenLöschenWhat a beautiful sweater. Your joy at finishing it shines through your photos. :)
AntwortenLöschenI love your sweater!!...it has been a long time since I have knitten a sweater!....and I love your cakes!!....they look so good and they are perfect for picnic!!.....Abrazotes, Marcela
AntwortenLöschenExcellent cardigan. Love Spring with all of the flowers, scents and warm temperatures. The food looks delicious. The small bag is well done.
AntwortenLöschenHugs and Blessings
Your sweater is stunning, Viola! I love the colour and the pattern, and admire anyone who can knit a sweater.
AntwortenLöschenI'm glad you were able to enjoy the nice weather. Soon it will be warmer all the time. Your baking looks delicious and how lovely to be able to picnic outdoors.
Hugs,
WOW, liebe Viola, deine Strickjacke ist ein Prachtstück geworden! Da ist es doch richtig gut, dass die Temperaturen noch mal gesunken sind. (Hier übrigens auch - bei unserer heutigen Wanderung hat es sogar ein bisserl geschneit!)
AntwortenLöschenAlles Liebe nach meiner Blogpause, Traude

AntwortenLöschenAre you looking for a loan to buy a home or for business? After a lengthy interviewing process with mortgage lenders we ended up going with Mr Pedro Jerome loan offer at his Home Mortgage loan offer. As a first time home buyer, he was absolutely wonderful in helping us secure our mortgage, providing great advice, and always looking out for our best interest. I would definitely recommend anyone that is buying a home or looking for a positive loan lender to finance his needs or business to use Mr Pedro Jerome and his team on any kind of loan.I Will absolutely use them again in the future.
AntwortenLöschenYou can contact a loan officer Pedro Jerome On Email : cf-loans@outlook.com / WhatsApp +393510140339 I learned that they also offer business loans on their website.
Good luck.
