Bittersweet
Second up from the big photo session – Bittersweet is done! ^.^ You can read more about how it came to be here and here. Named after the colorway of the gorgeous yarn, which is Shepherds Worsted from Lorna’s Laces. It’s such a joy to wear, and to work with! Hopefully it’ll fare well in…

Pony cardigans! (Ponnykoftor!)

Photo from VisitScotland.com – click here for article with more photos! I had a really bad day today, so I’m happy happy about being completely free tomorrow. I plan on sleeping in, writing down a…

Such a tease!
Here’s a tease from another new baby design of mine – I call it Gryning, which means “dawn” in Swedish. Hopefully I’ll be able to write down the pattern next week so I can have it tested. Isn’t the colors just lovely? Soon I’m off for the weekend, spending almost 5 hours on train to…

Bittersweet, part 2
This is working up quickly, and I’m really happy with how it’s turning out! As you can see I had some problem with the yarn pooling in the beginning, so I had to start knitting 2-row stripes with a second skein to even it out. But, even then it took some time before the orange…

Bittersweet, part 1
How about following me through one of my next design processes? ^.^ Here’s the deal – I liked this model of a shrug/cropped cardigan from Drops, and started working on the back piece a couple of days ago. But… The pattern is horrible! It’s worked in pieces, it’s really awkward to cast on for the…

Shift of Focus in blue?
It suddenly felt really necessary to make myself something of the beautiful blue I used in my previous post. And, now I came across a lovely design on Ravelry that I think would work out nicely. A trip to the yarn shop awates, then. Typical – I’ve got so many interesting things on the needles…

Stash cardi in progress!
Belive it or not, but my blue socks are pretty much finished, and I’ve already CO for another pair. Sock fever! Now that I know exactly how to end up with a good fit for my feet, it’s difficult to resist! ^.^ I’ve also finally finished the Levenwick cardi, and it’s blocking right now. Pictures…

Vuxenvinkel in progress!
You wouldn’t believe what’s happening here. After selling our old apartment at an underprice because of the damn bathroom – it seems like it’s actually quite urgent that we redo the bathroom in our own house! It’s scary and frustrating, and we don’t know how to finance it yet… Sigh! Guess what…

FO: Hot Pink Bolero
Phew, what a week! Now we’ve sold our apartment, and contracts have been signed. Unfortunately we didn’t get back the money we paid for it four years ago, but it was either this or bothering with renovating the old bathroom ourselves, before trying to sell again. Now I really hope I…

New pattern: Fjäril cardigan
Another pattern is published! This time it’s my first adult cardigan design that has been tested and finished up – I hope it’s calling out your name already! My version is knitted with only 1½ skein of Colinette Jitterbug. You’ve been looking for that light, easy and delicate cardigan to spice up your summer wardrobe?…
