Olive colour knitting and baby art?!
January 28, 2012 by Teje
Hello my Dear Friends! I hope you are fine and enjoying your weekend! We have the most cold and rainy time here in Crete and I’m so happy to have my new scarf almost finished …
I just loooooove this colour mix! In live they are a little bit more green colours – like olives and olive oil. I had olives and their oval shape in my mind when I was thinking how to knit a scarf. I started perhaps 6 times again and again, till I finally continued with this version.
When I have made the last finishing, I will show this scarf better … there are leaves and every second leave is with ‘right’ side and every second with ‘wrong’ side.
You may remember the fingerless hand warmess I made a while ago. They have been very usefull!
I have been quite busy lately and I want to apologize my dear friend Benta, that I haven’t showed her beautiful present earlier. I received this beautiful, surprise bag from Benta for a while ago! Thank you so much Benta! I found Benta from the Blogger’s Quilt Festival about 2 years ago and since then we have been keeping in touch! Benta has a great blog ‘SLIK STITCHES’ with beautiful quilts and other sewings! I love also this fabric she has used!
Today has been a sad day with tears loosing our old friend but also a day with smiles meeting my new friend and her cute dog. Perhaps it’s the right time to introduce to you my new golden friend …
I went to meet her mom today and this sweet darling were waiting me on the door! She is just so lovable girl and she helped me to forget the sad things!
Baby art? I couldn’t find an other way to name something really beautiful I saw today …
I was trying to write a post for few days, but couldn’t find ‘the right’ moment. Today I thought that perhaps it was ment to be like that because today I saw something really wonderful in the internet which I know you love to see! I met (her blog) ADELE EMERSON from Finland! She makes adorable, un expected baby art?! This link will take you to the ‘about’ page in her blog and there you can see small video showing her art! You will love this!!! She has also a new book! Please go to see that because it is really something lovely with a baby, fabrics and beautiful imagination!!!
We hope with Nero that the wind brings to us some better days, warmer weather, lots of sunshine and soon spring!
Thank you for your visit and all your lovely comments! Hugs and Kisses!
TEJE & NERO

You amaze me, Teje, with your energy and creativity! The scarf is going to be beautiful–olive is one of my favorite colors too. And what a gorgeous Golden!
Hugs to Nero!!
Thank you Sage! I’m happy you saw my new friend. She is the most sweet Golden Retriever and I shall take care of her when her mom is away. Hugs to you! x Teje
I just love the olive colours in your scarf. Your new friend is beautiful! Hope you have a good weekend!
Thank you Janet for your lovely comment! Have a lovely weekend! x Teje
Such a pretty dog face. I was a little confused. Is the golden retriever coming to live with you?
My next dog will be a golden – my favorite.
I stopped and saw the baby dream book – there’s one with baby as a pilot – be still my heart!
Also – I am headed to Sweden and Finland this summer. Arrive July 2 in Gothenburg and make my way east to Helsinki over the next two weeks.
Any recommendations on where to go? Fabric stores?
Thank you.
Thank you Kathy! My new Golden friend has a wonderful home, but when her mom is travelling I shall go to take care of her. She is such a sweet girl! Those baby photos made my day yesterday! Just so cute and unique! I’m happy to hear that you are going to Finland and summer is the best season to visit Helsinki. I’m sorry that I can’t help you much with information. I am from one small town and just visit Helsinki now and then. I am also away so long time that everytime I go, many things and shops have changed. I will keep you in mind and let you know if find out something interesting. I am going to Finland in April! x Teje
Your new scarf is gorgeous! It makes a perfect, lovely set with those fingerless gloves.
Thanks for the link… makes me miss the days when my sons were babes. So sweet.
Thank you Katherine! I like that colour and now I’m thinking to add still some ‘details’ for the scarf. I was so happy to find those happy baby photos! Have a lovely Sunday! x Teje
The scarf looks lovely, you are so clever to design it yourself. I love the gloves too, they are my favourite kind as I cannot wear 5 fingered gloves, but only like to wear mittens when it is really cold
Thank you for the blog promotion
. I am now going to follow your links and see what exciting places you take me today 
Oooh, I am so pleased you reintroduced me to Mila dreams. It was the very first blog I followed, but I stopped when people started misusing the photos and selling them. I didn’t know it had started again
Thank you Benta! It’s quite gold here and when I take the dog for a walk I use gloves! Mittens I need sometimes even when writing with the computer. Having my hands ‘up’ long time they get really cold. I’m sorry to hear that Adele met that kind of problems with her seet and talented baby photos – that is just awfull! I saw those lovely photos just in right time yesterday and they made me so happy! Have a wonderful Sunday! x Teje
Love the golden girl! And green is my favorite color, so the scarf makes me happy, too!
Thank you Donna! As you can guess I love most of the colours but this olive green is one of my ‘always’ favourites! I am happy to be able to spend some time with that sweet Golden girl – I take care of her when her mom is away. Have a lovely Sunday and give hugs to your sweet puppy! x Teje
Teje, sorry about your loss. Is the golden girl going to live with you? She’s so cute! Love the scarf you are knitting, as well as the fingerless hand warmers; a gorgeous set. Colorful and nice bag from Benta. Before you know, spring is coming your side!
Have a nice Sunday – and new week!
Thank you Astrid! I am taking care of this lovely Golden girl when her mom is away. It is a pleasure because she is such a sweet girl!
I know that sooner I realize, I shall complain that it’s too hot, but now it’s hard to remember that. We have only +3 degrees today, non-stop rain and they say that we may get even snow! I hope not, because that is too difficult in a place where it’s not normal. In Finland everything works normally even with the snow storm. I wish you lovely Sunday! x Teje
Teje, Those colors are so elegant and a most creative design. I’m sorry you lost your friend who made your life finer by being part of it. Your new golden pal is just the cutest and has the look of a really fun mischief maker. Better days ahead, my friend. Hugs to you, Nero, and the girls
Thank you so much for your sweet words! I was happy to meet this Golden girl yesterday – she is such a sweet girl that you can’t be unhappy with her! Also that link with the baby photos made my day! I hope you had time to see it. A sleeping baby with a dream story around her – made with some simple clothes by her mom when watching her sleep! Have a wonderful Sunday! x Teje
Your new golden friend is very beautiful. Dogs have a way of making even the sad moments in our lives seem better. I love the scarf and fingerless gloves. The yarn is a really lovely colour! Hope this week is a happier one. Ros and Oscarx
Thank you Ros! As you know dogs are so important part of our lives! I have fallen in love with this sweet Golden girl! But of course always our own dogs are our dearests! Kisses to you and Oscar! x Teje & Nero
The new scarf is really pretty, Teje! I think it will keep you warm and comfy in the winter times. I am sorry to hear about the loss of a furry friend. I am sure they are in a happier place.
Thank you for you sweet words! x Teje
Sorry to hear of your loss. I’m glad your new golden friend brought you some smiles.
Great looking scarf too
Thank you Nic! I have still add some flowers to the scarf – hope to have soon some light outside to take photos. It’s raining all the time! x Teje
Your scarf is great. I adore the color and the design will look nice worn. I get very bored with traditional scarves so I always enjoy see beautiful ones using different shapes….and it matches your mitts so nicely too.
Thank you Andrea! I like to imagine different shapes for a scarf because with them we can easily give some fun to our outfits! Have a lovely week! x Teje
Your new scarf is lovely, Teje. And your new furry friend looks very sweet. She is very lucky to have you to look after her sometimes. I will pop over and have a look at the baby link, I love designs for babies.
Hope you have a wonderful week, Teje.

Thank you for your sweet comment! x Teje
Beautiful colors in your scarf and a beautiful dog. We had a golden before we had the Chessies. They are such sweet dogs. Hope you have a nice week and nice weather.
Thank you for your always lovely comments! I have never really been with a Golden Retriever and now when getting to know better this breed I can understand why it’s so famous! Have a wonderful week and give kisses to your puppies! x Teje
