We’re half way through summer and we’ve just had the warmest week on record in my neck of the woods. We smashed through multiple records, including the all time record on multiple days and if I read one more sensation piece about it that doesn’t mention global warming and climate crisis I’m going to be …
Friends, it is cardigan time! I was going to say something about the weather being oddly hot for the last few weeks, but it’s now July and we’re finally having a few rainy days below 25C. This tells you something about both the effects of climate change in these parts, but also my sense of …
Hello makers, I thought it was about time I’d show my face here again. I hadn’t planned to stay away for 3 months. I had a couple blog post in the works when I wrote my last blog posts, some of which were largely written and I had concise ideas for others. I will briefly …
It’s the first few days of 2019, I posted my year in sewing a couple of days ago, so what better time to talk about and round off the knitting I did in 2018? My knitting output -as in the actual volume of projects I made- was on the low side and it has been …
Hello 2019, and happy new year blog friends! Well, I don’t know about you but to me it feels both wildly overdue and impossible at the same time to have arrived at a brand new year. Instead of trying to make sense of it all just imagine me making some wild gestures and muttering incoherent …

Makers, I did it! I started my bra making journey! Buckle up, this is going to be a long ride. If you’ve been following me for a while you know that learning how to make a bra has been passively on my goals list for a while. Its something I’ve always wanted to do, especially …
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 …
Hey team! I’m back with my final project for the Summer of Basics, the Kalle shirtdress. As I predicted in my previous post, I didn’t manage to write a blogpost about the dress before the deadline, but I did put up a picture on my instagram. Here you can find my blogposts about the previous …
