It is about time I show you this cardigan I knit at the start of this year. I cast on in late 2018 and finished her early next spring. I knit most of it in the middle of that year’s emergency cat surgery drama, said […]
Thanks, it has pockets
Riddariculous!
It’s been a while since a lopapeysa featured on the blog, hasn’t it? I actually made this particular Icelandic sweater last year, before I moved. You’ll have seen some glimpses of it on instagram, mainly of my cats’ brave attempts to steal it for naps […]
Oh My-osotis!

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 […]
Adventures in Bra making: Part 2
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 […]
Wrapping up 2018: Knitting
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 […]
