I don’t care what the weatherman says, as far as I’m concerned it’s Spring. I’m so in the mood for happy, soft and airy cotton-blends. Nice, cheerful tops made of drapey, soft materials that feel cool on your skin. I noticed I’m gravitating towards TinCanKnits designs. Probably because they have a lot of pretty amazing desings for …
Right in time for the cold weather we’re having right now! Working on this sweater was great fun, altough it took a bit to finish because I was working on other things and because I wasn’t completely satisfied with the way the colours were working together and I ended up frogging a big chunk of …
Visible mending, in case you haven’t heard of the movement, means repairing a garment in a visible way. In a way it can be a form of art and it can add to the character of the garment, resulting in a more unique and interesting piece. Somewhere between 2011 and 2012 I knit a Girasole using my …

It took a bit longer than planned but it’s finally finished! The Saffran Cardigan! I’ve been eyeing this pattern for a while now, but I never came round to actually knitting it. Thankfully, during the Startitis Tsunami I ended up with a lot of inspiration for new projects and the combination of Scheepjes Stone Washed …
Where to begin? First of all, starting a new blog for the shop right at the end of the year. I guess it was long overdue, because there’s so much to talk about and so little time. Social media really isn’t made for in-depth stories, it’s too fast paced. So I’d like to welcome you …
