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 …
FO: Katniss Cowl
So I finished the Katniss Inspired Cowl and I’m stoked! It’s such an amazing and quick pattern to crochet 🙂 The pattern calls for bulky weight yarn and a 9mm crochet hook and if you have enough time you’ll be able to finish it within a day! It’s a very simple, no-nonsense construction and the instructions are …
FO: Sunset Highway Sweater
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 …
FO: Merhaba Shawl
Don’t you just love it when a project just flies of your needle? The Merhaba Shawl is one of those projects. The pattern is by Happy In Red (go on, click, I’ll wait :)), and it’s really awesome! The pattern calls for Scheepjes Softfun, Softfun Denim and Softfun Aquarel and it’s made on a 4,5mm(size 7) …
Visible Mending
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 …
FO: Baa-ble hat!
This one’s been in my queue since 2015, but I never got ’round to actually knitting one. The Baa-ble hat! During Shetland Wool Week (and I think a while after as well) this was a free to download pattern, nowadays you can buy yourself a copy in Donna Smith’s Ravelry store. The design is very clever, …
The Legendary Mohair Sweateralong
It’s pretty Legendary already! After a bit of a rough start (we started a week later than planned) there’s a lot of good progress! I’m only joining for decorative purposes as I’m (obviously) not going to be winning anything LOL. I also had a few other things to finish so I’m a little bit late…. …
FO: Jaywalker socks
There’s a few patterns out there that make you want to knit them over and over again. One of those patterns are the Jaywalkers. This free sock pattern is so popular there’s already more than 11.6 thousand (yes THOUSAND) projects on Ravelry. And with good reason I might add, they’re super comfy! I’ve already knit them twice …
FO: Saffran Cardigan
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 …
Startitis
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 …
