Yarn Along

A lot of knitting going on around here, since I stowed away those carving tools… Mainly I'm trying to finish a few delayed projects, starting with my Nightingale Vest based …

Another doll scarf. But now I am pretty determined with the lace pattern and soon there will hopefully be an adult version. Since my visit to the toy fair and my …

So, with all the snow outside during the last couple of weeks and Snow House Building, everything else (household chores as well as craftwork) had to wait! Except evenings, when …

So, I've started another Isager Project during our cosy, stay-at-home Christmas Holidays, which were mostly spent on our sofa, as far as I remember. Good for me, because this vest …

So this is my latest project finished in 2015. Just in time for Christmas! (I gave it away as a present and I think I might have dampened it on the 24th…) Luckily, …

The race lace is on! Up to this point, I wasn't quite sure myself whether I would be able to finish this shawl until Christmas but now that I am …

Früher habe ich mich meistens geweigert, eine Strickprobe zu machen. Aber mit der Zeit habe ich mich mit der Notwendigkeit dieser Übung abgefunden. Vergangene Woche habe ich also wieder eine …

Wie versprochen, gibt es diese Woche die Anleitung für unsere Häkelmützen aus Naturwolle! Ich bin total zufrieden mit den Mützen. Sie sind bodenständig, aber nicht altbacken, sondern sehen lässig aus. …

There she is! Clara. Finished, sewed, buttoned, washed, ironed. Ready to ship. I went down to the river this morning to take a few more pictures (the place where I …

A long time ago, when I was very young… and living in Australia, a friend told me about a mother who would even knit at red traffic lights to make …

Not yet fed up with this natural yarn, I have indeed startet knitting a jacket for myself. I imagine a very simple traditional jacket, garter stitch, slightly waisted, to go …

Joyfully joining Ginny today with lots of good (knitting) news. Hooded Sweater Number Two is on my nephew! Hooded Sweater Number Three is on the needles! (And almost finished too! …

I wrote and published an article yesterday about my thoughts on Handcrafting, particularly with recycled materials. I think, that often we don't necessarily use second hand or used materials or even …

Still life with Rabbit, I guess. I had a knit-free day yesterday, since I wanted to finish our Easter Decoration, folding this giant Bunny. Glad to be picking up the …
