The first one was because Frog and Toad, one of my favourite amigurumi designers, was looking for German proof readers, and even though I have a lot on my plate recently, I just couldn't resist. I offered my help and I got to proof read the German version of their super cute Reindeer pattern. And since I also got permission to use the pattern myself, I couldn't resist, bought some brown cotton and started. I really hope to get this one done before Christmas :)
Next up was two weeks ago when we were visiting Felix' parents. I needed a good project to travel with and also a bit of cheering up after a very stressfull week, so I picked a very cheery yarn from my stash and started a free pattern I've had on my todo list for a while, the Halata shawl by MorbenDesign. It's a pretty simple pattern - six rows repeat over and over, so I can work it without checking the chart, and I really like it so far! The yarn was a monthly thing by Garnstube last year.
And then, after some looking around on ravelry, I finally had an idea what to do with this yarn that has been in my stash for ages! It took a bit of playing around with the needle strength and tension, but I think this will work out. I'm not yet telling what it is, but here is a little bit over one ball done (of nine...although I can only fine eight right now, I know there's one more hiding somewhere!)

How pretty! The shawl is going to be absolutely gorgeous!
All great starts, I really need to look into learning how to crochet!
The reindeer is super cute! I think pattern proofing is a great thing but I'm far too slow to offer up services haha.
Nine balls, maybe an afghan? That's really neat looking yarn! Is it a ribbon in the center with yarn twisted around?
Some lovely projects - I'm very excited to see your reindeer! x
