  • FO: Fjäril Mini

    And here we have it – Fjäril has transformed into Fjäril Mini! I did the yellow one first, but even though Svarta Fårets Tilda is a really soft and nice cotton/acrylic blend, it doesn’t work at all with lace. And, my knitting was a bit uneven, which wasn’t saved by blocking. So, on with another…

  • Rabbit hat + Surpris

      I felt the need to do something with the scraps from this Surpris cardi, and the choice fell upon this cute Rabbit hat! The pattern is easy, free, and can be found here. It’s knitted in the round, but my color changes looked so crappy with the many active threads, that I simply made a…

  • Mystery clue #4 + Layouts and translations / Mystisk ledtråd #4 + Layouts och översättningar

    Clue 4 is released. Phew. That’s it. I feel drained! Good thing I’m going on vacation!   Also, I’m slowly updating my patterns with the same layout, and at the same time translating them to Swedish. This lot is the first ones finished – click on the photo to get to the pattern page! 🙂…

  • FO: Rampljus

    Tada! Rampljus means limelight in Swedish, btw. What do you think? This time I’m trying out holding the test knit in my Ravelry group! If you’re interested in helping me test, let me know! Too bad that I’ve made this in a really bad yarn. The yellow Muskat Soft is great (although discontinued), but the…

  • New crochet pattern in progress! (Nytt virkmönster på gång!)

    I’m calling this one “Garngalen”, which simply means “mad about yarn” in Swedish. ^.^ This vest/top is the first in a small collection. Since I love playing with the construction I like to add many options. I’m thinking… math for both worsted/aran weight yarn and sport/DK weight yarn, a cardigan version, and a body version.…

  • FO: Another surpris! (FO: En till Surpris!)

    Here comes another version of my pattern Surpris! Here I tried to do a version with a shorter skirt, but it ended up a wee bit too wide. The instructions for a shorter version that I’ve included in the pattern is a middle-way between this and the original! 🙂 The yarn I’ve used this time…

  • Arvid & Styrka (Give me! #2)

      Here comes my little model Arvid again! I realized there’s been way too many days since my first Give me! – post –  I guess I’ve had a lot to occupy myself with. 🙂 So, here we go again! Arvid is this time showing off “Styrka” (which was up until just now named “Very…

  • Free pattern: Udda poncho

    Finally! I managed to finish up the pattern. I hope you’re going to like it! 😀 Now I’m off to bed, and hopefully to sleeping in tomorrow. ——————— Äntligen! Nu lyckades jag finslipa mönstret. Jag hoppas att ni kommer tycka om det! 😀 Nu styr jag mot sängen, och förhoppningsvis mot en sovmorgon.   Udda…

  • Finished: Udda… another one?

      And what do we have here, if not the 3rd version of my Udda poncho! Getting tired of ponchos yet? Hopefully not, because the pattern is coming any moment now! This one features an assymetric neckline – can you tell I love assymetric things? And why not a crochet flower instead of a pom…

  • Finished: Udda poncho – again!

      Here’s the second version of my Udda poncho, this time with the body worked in garter stitch. Turned out really soft, quishy and stretchy, but I’m not as happy with how these colors turned out together… Yarn: Scraps from my adult Vandrare, Bittersweet, and some white Drops Baby Merino.   ***   Här kommer…
