I have ever so many projects on the go... so many WIP´s to finish. So the obvious solution to my predicament is of course to start yet another one! And not just any old project, but yet another knitted cushion.
Maybe it is the cold dark season we are in, but there surely is nothing quite as pleasing as running warm soft yarn through ones fingers, while one knits something cosy and comforting. Of course one can always argue that there is only so much comfort to be had in a knitted cushion...
But then surely you have never tried to knit one in the lovely soft "Kashmir alpakka"-yarn from Sandnes Garn. This time I have chosen to change my design a bit. For one I am using knitting needles size 5,5. The cables are knitted out if 6 stitches, with 3 purl stitches in between.
Every now and then I am drawn to grey, and on this grey winter´s day I am loving this grey wool. Tomorrow I might go for orange (as if!) but today grey comforting wool it is. And eventually I will have yet another knitted cushion to add to my collection!

Det ska bli underbar vacker och säkert så mjuk! Kanske det är inte så hemskt med många projekt, bara man inte börjar stressa över det.
Hi,your cushion is going to be lovely to snuggle up with on cold winter gray days.Love Jill xx
Nydelig pute! Skal nok få strikket meg noen når mine ufo'er er ferdige! Happy Knitting! stikk gjerne innom om du vil hos meg!
Oh so beautiful. I ADORE the colour and the cable is stunning. You can never have too many cushions, especially snuggly ones like that!
Have a beautiful rest of a day!

You have great hands! :-) Beautifull. xxx
Disse strikkede putene er helt skjønne, ikke rart du har lyst på flere.
Laget en selv i offwhite, som jeg har blitt veldig glad i, men nå for tiden strikkes teppe.
Lykke til, forresten nydelige roser du her har tatt bilder av ;)
Fortsatt fin uke ønskes deg
Kjenner meg så godt igjen, vanskelig å ikke starte opp på et nytt prosjekt.
Putene dine blir helt skjønne, deilig med varme ullputer nå som det er vinter.
Den kommer til å bli veldig fin da. så får det andre bare vente. sånn er det med damer med mange jern i ilden. jeg er forresten ferdig med å sy sammen alle lappene. nå er det bare kanten og quiltingen igjen. håper jeg får det til. problemet er bare at jeg er heller begynt å skjære til nye lapper til et nytt teppe;)
Ha en fin kveld
klem:)
That´s going to be a wonderful pillow Mia...I think I may need to hire Monica permanently. She can just follow your blog and make everything you make...for me :-) Hahahaha...I´ll be poor...but have such lovely things which I will dearly treasure! :-)
Hello Mia,
I remember reading some time ago that you were asking yourself if your entries were becoming less interesting and maybe your readers were getting tired of the same topics.
Well , I would like to tell you that this evening, when I started reading your latest post I was plunged in a beautiful, calm world of beauty and enchantement.
I could feel a sense of wonder and peace slowly engulfing me , as if, by magic, I was in a world of white and grey loveliness.
Is this enough to convince you that your blog is precious?...I hope so!
So, a big thank you from Italy and all the best ;-)

It looks beautiful.
Haha, I am just the same ;) started knitting cable hand warmers amongst about 10 other WIP's... but enjoy it!
Love,
Maaike
It is beautiful. Love your blog.
Such lovely photos. And, you are right, of course! One can NEVER have too many knitted cushions - OR started projects.
Mia, I so agree with the previous comment from Italy, about the pleasure that reading this late January post has brought.
That grey alpaca yarn is a perfect choice for your new year's cabled pillow cover, and having those white roses in the picture adds to the charm.
I have just completed a multi-toned grey scarf, knitted as a gift for a colleague. And now I am quickly completing another pair of multi-colored socks (shades of blue) that I began well before my pre-Christmas creative frenzy.
January is a fine time to knit, warm indoors.
Best wishes.
It looks so cozy on a cold snowy day in South Dakota.
I have also many projects on the go ! Your one is great !
I just stumbled upon your blog and I just may stay up all night reading. Every post is a feast for my eyes!! Thank you for sharing so many beautiful images. Your talent is amazing!
My husband is Norwegian... grandfather from Christiansburg! My last name is Anfindsen :)
Do you sell any of your items internationally?
Oh how I would love to see every single thing that you have created!
Love the colour, love the cables, love the thought that winter is still several months away....but when it comes I shall be picking up my needles and making one of these. Thanks for the inspiration Mia.
Dear Jean A! Thank you so much for your kind words. They are truly appreciated! As for selling my makes internationally, it is not a problem. Should you be interested in any, you are most welcome to send me an e-mail on mia (dot) landliv (at) hotmail (dot) com. I would be happy to hear from you.
Fin pute, som alltid :)
Ha en deilig torsdagskveld!
