My 1st finished project of the year (well, almost)!

Only 1 tie left to go...and then it's ready to wrap and ship (the tie will go where the little white marker is - right above the other ties). Thanks to everyone that helped me pick out this project for Allison's impending arrival - and thanks for voting and convincing me to knit this sweater instead of the poncho!!

I included both photos so you could get an idea of colors. The pic on the left was taken without a flash, but shows off the green i-cords and embroidered flowers a bit better. The photo on the right/below shows off the true colors of the yarn a bit better (the colors aren't quite as dull as they look on the left). Anyway, the embroidery part was fun.... i made 4 flowers on the front and 3 on the back - all spaced evenly (i even used a tape measure!). I took the lazy daisy flower idea from Louisa Harding's book Natural Knits (which i love, by the way - i just started a hat from the book using my leftovers last night), but did have a bit of trouble figuring out the technique. I'm assuming it's me, though... not her.

Anyway, the little hat i'm making has a picot edge and is just too cute! Thank goodness for Jeanne's Picot Cast On Video, though. I don't know if i could have figured it out otherwise. And then, if i'm not worn out, i'm going to put those same green flowers at the bottom of the hat - just like she shows in the book. I hope allison likes it!

Now i just have to finish her wedding gift... :

  3. Olen viime aikoina miettinyt, miten parantaa mobiiliverkon signaalin voimakkuutta kotonani. Asuinalueellani 5G-verkko on vielä kehitysvaiheessa, ja siksi olen etsinyt ratkaisuja, jotka voisivat auttaa vahvistamaan signaalia. Sattumalta törmäsin mielenkiintoiseen tuotteeseen, joka voisi olla ratkaisu ongelmaani: 5G-signaalivahvistin.
    Olen tutkinut https://www.myamplifiers.com/fi/5g-booster/ sivustoa, ja siellä on laaja valikoima 5G-vahvistimia. Näiden laitteiden avulla voi parantaa verkkoyhteyksiä merkittävästi, mikä on erityisen tärkeää, kun kodin mobiiliverkko on heikko tai epävakaa. Sivustolla on useita vaihtoehtoja, jotka näyttävät olevan erittäin tehokkaita ja sopivat erilaisiin tarpeisiin. Tällaiset laitteet voivat auttaa poistamaan signaalin heikkoutta, parantamaan yhteyden nopeutta ja luotettavuutta, ja ne ovat erityisesti hyödyllisiä alueilla, joissa 5G-verkko ei vielä ole täysin kattava.
