Sleep deprivation = inspiration?
December really hasn’t been my month. I was actually sick even before I endured the surprising attack of the gall stones – my neck locked up, and I’ve had really severe pain in my neck, left shoulder and arm. It’s been hurting so much that I haven’t been able to sleep – believe it or…

Drops Cotton Merino
So far I’m very happy with Drops new Cotton Merino blend! It knits up lovely and smooth, and feels great to the touch. I hope it’ll wear and tear nicely as well! The downside with Drops’ yarns is that they so often produce them in just the same colors, which aren’t that exciting. I…

FO: Hopp Mini
Pretty much the same evening that I finished Hopp for myself, I cast on for a small version – here we have Hopp Mini! For the 6 months size I used about 240 yards of cheap acrylic Red heart soft yarn from my stash. Since there wasn’t room for the lace on the sleeves,…

New pattern: Fjäril mini!
Did I ever let you know that the pattern for Fjäril Mini is finished? I don’t think so! This amazing photo and gorgeous girl belongs to sawyerscience, who helped me test the pattern. Isn’t she just adorable? The yarn used is called Berroco Vintage DK in the color Kingfisher. Such a pretty blue! …

New pattern: Kaskad
Kaskad is the 2nd installation in Tied together – a quick and super comfortable garter stitch cardigan in 3 colors of fingering yarn. Use three different colors, or three shades of one! Myself, I absolutely love this one! This version is knitted with Drops Alpaca and Drops Baby Alpaca Silk from my stash,…

FO: Hopp
Here we go then! The third installation in my Tied together collection is finished. Damn, it was a struggle to finally get this right! After the initial battle there still was some tweaking to do, and not to mention to write the pattern. Phew! This design is a bit more intricate than what I…

Pånyttfödd: Fjäril
One of the patterns I’ve planned to “fix up” for a while is Fjäril – even though the testing of the pattern went well the first time around, I noticed from the feedback that the sleeves were too big. So, after updating the pattern to improve the fit of the sleeves and armhole I had…

WIP: Trio 3 (Trio del 3 på gång!)
Here I’m knitting away on the third installation of Tied together – the yarn is Madeline Tosh Vintage in the color Lapiz. Gorgeous! This is the only brand I’ve come across that is available in this wonderful strong and bright blue. At first it feels surprisingly heavy to work with, but one gets used to…
