COLOURS ON MY NEEDLES
November 18, 2011 by Teje
Hello my Dear Friends! Welcome to my fiber Friday!
I have beautiful new colours in my knitting basket! Half wool – half acrylic and really soft yarn! Enjoy to knit for my friends!
This lovely, curly sheep fleece is from my cousin, who has sheeps, horses, ponies, chickens, dogs, cats… I got this fleece once when I was lucky to visit her amazing farm in Finland. I have to show you who else found it soft and warm …
No way I could have even the smallest chair just for myself! I had put this stool under the table to take it next to my armchair when I knit.
As you know I love colours and often I enjoy arranging things by colour. I made these ‘still life’ just for you …
Local pomegranates in delicious autumn colours. Pomegranate is also very famous theme for many kind of creations to bring good luck for the New Year! You can find them made for example with silver, ceramic and glass.
And local bananas from my hb:s cousin! They are really delicious and have so strong aroma!
Now I’m knitting socks to my friend’s daughter and I think they will be fantastic with this bright orange! The colour is her choice and I don’t complain to knit whit this energy colour!
One of my favourite colours for a long time has been olive green, ‘oil’ like they say in Greek. And even better if it’s like watercoloured as this yarn is …
This yarn is the same I used for the ‘Rainbow’ cowl and it has really beautiful colours! I’m knitting ‘fingerless’ for my self. I have so often cold hands and in winter especially when writing on the computer or knitting I need these. In fact this is my first try to make these even during the years I have knitted countless pairs of gloves and mittens.
I have made these last days many times applepie because my dear friend brought to me lots of sweet apples from her farm! Thank you!
When I passed the beach few days ago, I thought that perhaps you would like to see how it looks this time of the year. For a while beaches have been already empty – only perhaps someone ‘winter swimmer’ may be there running on the beach and having a swim. But for me it’s absolutely too cold this time.
This is the beach of Kalathas, about 5 minutes drive from our home. It is on my way to ‘Maherida’ our Holiday Homes. I never get tired to see the sea, which is every day different and usually has amazing turquoise and blue colours!
I want to thank you for your company today and for all your sweet messages! It was so great to hear that you liked my Suprise Christmas quilt! I wish you wonderful weekend, good weather and hope to see you soon! I’m waiting exited to see what you have been knitting and sewing, knowing that you are busy with your Christmas crafts! Still I hope you have time to share them with us!
I leave you with my favourite sheep!

I love your color themed still life photos. And the bright colors make me happy just looking at them!
Thank you Carlin! For me colours are very important and I enjoy them so much! x Teje
Really beautiful yarn colors. It looks like you are keeping busy with lots of projects going!
Thank you k-Koira! I have all the time many projects going on and many of them still waiting in my mind! Have a great weekend with your sweet dogs Koira and Pallo! x Teje
I adore your little sheep, the sheep fleece and the BEAUTIFUL Orange and Green.
Thank you Andrea for your sweet words! Have a lovely weekend! x Teje
Teje,
Do you follow a pattern for crocheting onto your rocks? Or some sort of tutorial? I’d really, really love to do this for my daughter because she LOVES her rocks
Hi Beth! For my first stone I found help from http://www.purlbee.com. They have a tutorial. After you have made one, it’s easy to make more and create different crochet. Have a great weekend! x Teje
I love that green yarn … it’s fabulous! Just like green olives!
Thank you Beth! Have a lovely weekend! x Teje
Nelli is just like my kitty….always curling up where it is warm and where I want to sit. I bet the sea is beautiful any time of year. Have a nice weekend.
Thank you Linda! Lovely weekend to you, too! x Teje
Your sheep is fun and I love your still life colour pictures. It’s interesting that pomegranates bring luck for the New Year. I wonder if that’s related to the story of Persephone and Demeter. Have a lovely weekend
Thank you Janine! I have to find out why the pomegranates are for good luck. Have a great weekend! x Teje
Wow, what fantastic wool colours, knitting is such a good skill to have, I wish I could. Today we have a Christmas and Craft fair in our church, and I am so pleased it is dry as I think people would stay home if it was raining. I hope you have a good weekend
Thank you Benta! Good Luck for the fair! We have also sunny day after a quite long time! x Teje

Thank you Marion! I shall give your hugs to my puppies and I wish you great weekend! x Teje
Very interesting details you have observed , thanks for posting .
Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hi! I’m blogging with WordPress and this theme is MistyLook. Happy blogging! x Teje
What lovely color-family photos, Teje!
…and the one of the beach reminds me that you really DO live in paradise!! XXO-
Thank you Heather for your sweet words! x Teje
I love those rocks crocheted into their beautiful covers. Can’t imagine how it is done, but so glad that you shared them.
I always like to see the sea from way up, as you do. That way, if it gets wild, I can watch without worry. Your still lifes are wonderful. I love color, too. I love the way you show me another part of the planet – and when I think of it, I know I have a friend there. Several friends if we include animals.
Fabulous still life photos! I too am a big fan of green and your example looks like a delicious green apple to me. The crochet stones are so whimsical. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. It is always an uplifting experience to visit your blog.
I loved the pictures, Teje – fantastic way to show your knits with matching stones and fruit, just perfect! I wish you happy knitting days and send you many warm wishes from snowy (!!) Finland!
Yours,
Mia
I love how you paired your colors with fruits or vegetables. Olive green is my favorite also! I too have very cold hands in winter-I bet your gloves work great.
Nice piece of writing, good luck with posting more!
