Hej friends! Hope you had a nice/fantastic/lovely/relaxing holiday whether you celebrated or not. I celebrated with my family at my brother’s place but was at home for most days with my cat who is recovering from an emergency surgery and can’t be left alone for longer periods yet (If you don’t follow me on instagram …
Hey friends, in my ongoing mission to catch up with my summer (and now also autumn) makes on all my platforms, I thought I’d show you one of the sweaters I finished over the summer. The photos were taken on a dreary, rainy autumn day and, as you might be able to tell, but I’m …
I don’t think any summer has affected my knitting as much as the last one. We broke through a couple of heat records and it was the driest summer of my life time. It went on for months. It reflected in my crafting; knitting went slow and at times I didn’t knit at all. Documenting …
I don’t often knit the same pattern twice. Certainly when it concerns garments, it is a rarity. I have often professed “I´d like to knit this again at some point”, or “This pattern would be so cool in a totally different colour palette”, but you know how it goes: The world of knitting is a …
“Hey, would you like me to make you a new hat?” It was around December, and I apparently felt particularly generous with my knitting time when I spoke those words to S. Looking back, I think it was part the ratty state of the ancient hats he had been wearing all winter, part genuine kindness …
In the month that Kate Davies’ new yarn and pattern club has started, I thought it might be a good idea to show you a finished project of her previous yarn club that ran a couple of years back. The Kokkeluri mittens were part of the Buachaille: At Home in the Highlands pattern collection that …
I thought I’d show you one of the small projects I completed at the tail end the year. This one is the Brackett hat, published in Laine Issue 3. Laine is still a relatively new knitting issue, but has quickly made a huge name for itself as a Nordic high quality knit magazine. So far …
Happy New Year! Welcome to my first post of 2018, which just so happens to be a look back at 2017. Feels a bit odd to come here and do a year review post, since I’ve posted so little over the past year. On the other hand I always enjoy doing these posts, and perhaps …
Well hello there! I thought to try to squeeze one more FO-post out of the last week of 2017. I can’t tell you how weird it feels to already be looking back at 2017, but since I might actually write a 2017 review post, I’m going to leave most of the looking back for that …
Thought I’d finally come around and blog about that sweater that I’ve been talking about for months now. What an epic project Windermere turned out to be! It took a long time to knit, mostly because I knitted it during one of the most intense years of my life, made mods, and took pauses to …
