Found the pattern to those crochet bowls in the magazine !Irresistible wonter gifts to knit". They are fast and easy to make. Will definitely make many more of them. The grey ones were the first I made and I made them for myself.

The white bowls were part of my youngest sisters Christmas gift.

The purple one is for a niece. Also part of the Christmas gift.

Bolero for oldest daughter

Yarn: Drops alpaca and Drops Kid-Silk

Needles: 4.5mm

Pattern: http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/no/visoppskrift.php?d_nr=129&d_id=26&lang=no

I actually ended up knitting two of this bolero. The first one seemed to be a bit too small for daughter when it was finished a year ago. I made another one, which has been ready for a while now. Recently daughter was home and finally could have her bolero, she ended up fitting the one I made first, as the second one was a bit too big.
