Think pink.

I have started to prepare for another freezing winter in the land of Santa Claus. I usually wear brown coats so pink is the perfect color for my accessories.


Pattern: Virna (Ravelry) by Jatta Saukko
Yarn: Lana Cervinia Le Fibre Nobili Mambo, pink (2838)
Needles: 4 mm DPN
1,5 skeins



Pattern: Cabled collar by Kalastajan vaimo
Yarn: Lana Cervinia Le Fibre Nobili Mambo, pink (2838)
Needles: 6 mm 80 cm circular needle
6 skeins


Pattern: Cabled Mittens by me
Yarn: Lana Cervinia Le Fibre Nobili Mambo, pink (2838)
Needles: 4 mm DPN
almost 2 skeins



I really like this set. I have fallen in love with Virna and I'm knitting my fourth one at the moment. Still eight more to go - for Christmas presents. Cabled collar is also really nice. I have promised to knit two more for presents aswell. But I have to say that I'm most proud of my mittens. My mittens. I thought I couldn't knit that kind of thumbs! The pattern will be available later this month.

This Italian Mambo (bought from Karnaluks, Tallinn) has become one of my favorite yarns. Thank God my yarn-a-holic knitting club friends have already tricked me to order some more with them!


Don't tell my husband.

  1. Onpa herkullinen setti ! Kauluri on varmasti tosi kiva ja käytännöllinen. Pitäisi edes yrittää, mutta en viitsi tehdä isompaa kasaa noita keskeneräisiä ikuisuusprojekteja.

  2. Aikas kivat!!
    Mä kaipaisin tosta kaulurista lisäinfoa, eli mikä määrä sulla oli silmukoita? Taisit tehdä ilman kavennuksia? Saako kuvaa kaulassa? :)

  3. Hieno setti. :) Mäkin hypistelin sitä mun lankakassia ja mietin, että mistä väristä tekisin tuon kaulurin. Sen vaaleansinisenhän tein viime talvena, mutta nyt tekisin vähän pienemmän.
