A very special capelet

I apologise for the long silence. I've been sick since February, and just haven't had the energy to stay up to date on all social platforms. I even had almost 3 months were I drowned myself in video games, cause I couldn't focus on crafting. But here is a project I really am pleased to … Continue reading A very special capelet

Christmas markets

This weekend and the next I am going to Christmas markets again. Here are some of the things I'll bring along! I hope for lots of people, despite the covid-19 situation raging again these days.

First market!

I am at my first market! I have brought lots of plantdyed yarn, knitted hats and earwarmers. This market is with lots of others in the local handicrafts association, where we all work together and place things by category. I will be at 3 other markets the next month where I will be at my … Continue reading First market!

All natural dyes

Here is the result of last weekends dyeing at my cottage! All dyed with lichen and mushrooms that I've gathered myself. In total, 2225 grams of yarn. Most in 25 gram skeins. I am in love with the purple and magenta, my favourite colors. The lichen was in an airtight bucket for 4 months, with … Continue reading All natural dyes

Colors!

The last months have been slow when it comes to crafting. Surgeries and summer and all that. But now it's autumn! With beautiful colors, rainy days and the cold keeping me more indoors. So my inspiration is back! And so are the mushrooms! I love mushrooms. The taste, colors and wide variety they come in. … Continue reading Colors!

Dreams of Flatlandia

This west was a test knit for Ciospy knits. It's an awesome pattern! I fell in love with the graphic design, and immediately imagined it in bright colors! So that is what I made. This is intarsia, and at times it was tedious. I don't love knitting intarsia, but I love the results! And small … Continue reading Dreams of Flatlandia

My lieblingsweater

Since I'm super late to post, this was done in the middle of March. It's super warm and cozy, just like I wanted! This will be well used during winter.

Sorry about the silence!

I just realised I've completely forgotten my blog the last months. I have a tendency to think "Oh, I need to do that thing!" and then forget. That has happened a lot the last months. Partially because I've been through two major surgeries, which has affected my energy levels, my concentration, my motivation to knit … Continue reading Sorry about the silence!

Lieblingsweater

My current project is going to be so comfy! The most cozy sweater ever. It has a fitting name, as it means "favourite sweater". Can't wait to finish it! I'm using 3 strands of yarn instead of 4. The pattern calls for 3 strands kid-silk and 1 strand DK weight, but instead of DK I'm … Continue reading Lieblingsweater

Redditgifts: Gifts for pets

I love secret santa swaps! So when I found redditgifts, I was very pleased. For this current round I joined 2 swaps, one of them being gifts for pets. My giftee has two cats, and of course, I wanted to make something myself. So I made them two little kitty toys, which my cats (and … Continue reading Redditgifts: Gifts for pets
