Free pattern: Kvick crochet mitts
So! I suddenly decided that I needed to crochet some mitts! It’s perfect to make as a gift – I managed to make one pair in just one day, using only scraps and partial skeins from the stash. I improvised these, and they were so easy and fun to make – I immediately started…

Riot
Hooray for color! I’ve worked from the free pattern Riot, except for the order of the colors. This is a fantastic way to use up smaller scraps of yarn – not a single end to weave in. These photos are from when I was halfway through – after some fierce knitting I’m actually finished.…

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…

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…

Domino star afghan, part 2
So, this is as far as I got with my Domino star afghan! This pattern is so beautiful – visit the Swedish designer Anita to check it out! I’m actually putting this away for now – right now I don’t have a recipient for this, and I feel I have other projects I…

FO: Muskat Blanket
ETA: I’ve noticed that I get a lot of traffic from Pinterest looking at this blanket! Yay! 😀 And, at the same time I noticed that my link is dead, and I can no longer find Fairysteps blog. Therefor, I’ve edited my post and included rough instructions for making a square below.…

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…

Laundry mayhem!
Our washing machine broke down today… Dirty water and laundry over the whole bathroom! Ugh! 🙁 Hopefully I can cheer up with some stripes – trying to do something with my alpaca scraps! *** Vår tvättmaskin gick sönder idag… Smutsigt vatten och tvätt över hela badrummet! Usch! 🙁 Förhoppningsvis kan jag muntra upp mig själv…
