This summer has been all about stripes around here and it looks like I don’t want to give it up either! I have had this quite thick cotton knit in my stash forever and finally decided to make something with it. I think I’ve waited so long before using it just because it hasn’t much… Continue reading Tilly and the buttons / Midi Coco dress
Hello everyone and happy Sunday! Are you ready for another good dose of pink? Just warning you, because there is loads going on here. I might have exaggerated, but do you know what? I don’t care! That’s my mantra: sew and knit whatever makes you feel happy and feel good. Well, pink makes me extremely… Continue reading Andi Satterlund – Vianne Cardigan for #OAL2015
Believe it or not, I’ve knitted yet another Grettir! It’s the sixth one and as I’m used to say, it will not be the last one either. Click on the numbers to see version number one, two, three, four and five. If I’d have kept all of them, I’d have one for nearly every day… Continue reading Grettir #6
Today I’m not gonna share a FO, but a couple awaiting to be casted on instead. First up is my next Grettir! Yep, the sixth one. This one here is for my brother who, strange but true, has never received a knit present from myself. I need to fix that and I’ve chosen do make… Continue reading Knitting plans
Hello from Italy, folks! I’m home and very happy to be here!!! This is part #2 of the Outfit Along 2014 organized by Lauren and Andy. I knit this cardigan to go with the last dress I made, the Floralex. As you may imagine, I’ve used CY Traveller. A very sad note: Cephalopod Yarns is… Continue reading My Pink Sheep!
This knitting project has been laying around far too long and it was about time I finished it! My sister in law requested a cardigan to wear in occasion of my nephew’s confirmation and she asked for bright spring colors. I had two skeins of Skinny Bugga in Sochi Pride, a limited edition colorway released… Continue reading Wispyfude
I’ve been collecting skeins of Traveller for a while now and it was about to time to put them to good use. They’ve been sitting in their bags waiting for the right project to show up – there are heaps of beautiful striped and colorwork patterns out there, but most of them need just few… Continue reading Bluegreen Cardigan
I knew I had to knit Svalbard as soon as I saw pattern and the color migration #2 Rosette Nebula by CY screamed to be turned into it. So I did it! The pattern is by Bristol Ivy for Brooklyn Tweed Wool People vol. 6. The construction of the cardigan is very clever and once… Continue reading Svalbard
Audrey in Unst has been in my queue for quite a long time and finally I’ve knitted it! I don’t usually mix colors, unless it is requested by the pattern – like in fair isle for example – but I wanted to give this combo a try. I had a skein of Traveller marked as… Continue reading Audrey in Oz
Questo cardigan รจ nato per accompagnare il mio Butterick 5882, realizzato qualche settimana fa. Ci ho messo un po’ a trovare il filato e il modello adatti e alla fine ho optato per Eidos di The Sanguine Gryphon in Midir e per il pattern di Gudrun Johnston Soay. Ho scattato le foto in fretta e… Continue reading Soay
