Testing the Blogger app: A heap of baby winter knits

I've just downloaded the Blogger app hoping that it'll help me getting some more blogging done. At the moment I'm mainly knitting instant gratification baby winter knits and I only manage to photograph them with my phone - and this is where the app comes in handy; honestly, photo editing, uploading, etc. take up half of the time I spend on blogging.

Anyway, here's my parade of recently finished knits. It features my two absolute favourites among baby vests along with what might be two new favourites when it  comes to hats and gloves. 


Pattern: Lark by Helga Isager, size 6 months. 
Yarn: Blackhill Højlandsuld from Garnudsalg, Kiwi, and Blackhill Alpaca, grøn/petrol melange. Approx. 150 m of each, 46 g in total for each vest. 



Pattern: Pebble by Nikol Lohr
Yarn: Cascade 220 Heathers, Straw. I just managed to get three vests out of 200 g. 



Pattern: Raindrop Hat by Dani Sunshine
Yarn: Cascade 220 Heathers, Chocolate Heather, 46 g for the smaller one and 64 g for the larger one. 


Pattern: Rillestrikka Vottar from Strikk til Nøstebarn. 
Yarn: Holst Supersoft, Sloe, 32 g. Intentionally felted a bit to get nice and soft gloves. 

You can find more details on all the projects on my Ravelry projects page

So what do I think of the app? Really easy to use, pretty, and it provides fast photo handling. I can live with the fact that I need to edit the photo size in the post on the computer afterwards. Of course we will all have to live with a poorer photo quality when I use Instagram photos, but I guess I can't have it all.
