Express sweater knitting…
I’ve been making such slow progress on this sweater for my hubby… and now I noticed that something had gone wrong with my gauge halfway through the body, it was much looser than at the bottom edge… Meh. So I’ll probably be ripping that out. But, since he’s been asking for a really thick…

Arvid & Gridlines
Look what I found! I need to go through older photos and see what I’ve forgotten to blog about. My friends boy Arvid sure knows how to model, don’t you think? This time he’s wearing Gridlines, one of my early designs. I have to take a photograph of my combined collection of baby knits…

FO: Hopp Mini

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…
