  • Sinnesfrid (översättning)

    I just realized that I never showed you all of the photos of Sinnesfrid, so here they are! Also, Swedish translation now available. *** Jag insåg precis att jag aldrig visade er alla fotona av Sinnesfrid, så här kommer de! Nedan kommer även den svenska översättningen av mönstret. Dela gärna med er av länken till…

  • New crochet pattern in progress! (Nytt virkmönster på gång!)

    I’m calling this one “Garngalen”, which simply means “mad about yarn” in Swedish. ^.^ This vest/top is the first in a small collection. Since I love playing with the construction I like to add many options. I’m thinking… math for both worsted/aran weight yarn and sport/DK weight yarn, a cardigan version, and a body version.…

  • Thank you! (Tack!)

    Thank you so much for all the kind words about my Knitty publication – it sure is an amazing feeling!! ^.^ (My mother has already asked for a framed photo, lol!) I’ve been keeping a close eye on the Ravelry page, and there’s more than 200 people who’ve queued this to knit! Yay! And Lisa shared it on…

  • It is here!! Let me present: Sinnesfrid

    It is here! The new Knitty edition is out! And guess who managed to end up on the front page? I’m beyond thrilled! How on earth will I be able to go to sleep now? *** “Sinnesfrid” in Knitty, First fall 2013 *** Den är här! Den nya utgåvan av Knitty är här! Och gissa…

  • FO: Britannia

    Hah! I see that I in June proudly told you that I finished an old project, but then I never actually showed it to you! Well, here it is! I must say that I’m not a fan of using mercerized cotton for clothing – I’ve not worn this since these photos, and I’ve no idea if I…

  • New pattern: Dormant Dandy

    Thank you for the lovely comments on the pics from my trip – it really was a welcome break in the autumn darkness, but now it’s so good to be back home again! I easily get homesick, and home is probably my favourite place in the world! My own place to craft, drink tea, eat…

  • Vest sneakpeak!

    Here’s a sneakpeak of something I’m working on right now! It’s an adult size vest, in case you’re wondering! ^.^ I hope this will turn out as I picture it! *** Här kommer en tjuvtitt på någonting jag jobbar med just nu! Det är en väst i vuxenstorlek, ifall ni undrar! ^.^ Jag hoppas att…

  • FO: Top down Lett-Lopi vest

    Wee! I finished my Top Down Lett-Lopi vest (Ravelry link) a while back, but now I’ve finally taken some photos! This is going to look damn good over a shirt when it’s getting cold again! By now I wished I’d used some stronger colors – maybe I simply need to make another one! I thought…

  • The vest! part 2

      Sorry about the blurry photo – but at least you can see that I’ve made some progress with my vest! I’ve finished the yoke and the colorwork, bound off for sleeves and added just a few short rows for the bust shaping. Now it’s just some decreases and plain knitting to go! ^.^  …

  • The vest!

    Ok, knitting on the vest! I love working top down and one piece – quick, fun and easy, and most important, you can try it on as you go. This is the first time I’m knitting a round yoke with colorwork, and I love the look of it. This will be perfect later when the…
