  • 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!  …

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • FO: Christmas bolero and happy new year! (Julbolero och gott nytt år!)

    Happy new year, everyone! ^.^ I hope you’ll get a wonderful start of 2013! 2012 wasn’t too shabby! Since I’ve spent the whole year at home, I really thought I hadn’t managed much… But as my hubby reminded me; I’ve released around 25 of my own designs, which surely should count for something? Not to…

  • 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…
