It took me only seven months to finish this shawl, but finally is off the needles! I suppose I went on a knitting hiatus and gave priority to summer sewing instead, but no worries, Autumn is just around the corner and knitting projects will be back on the blog regularly. I hate having UFOs laying… Continue reading West Knits / The Doodler
Happy Sunday peeps! This morning is pretty fresh outside and being Autumn just one day away, I’m getting ready for the upcoming cold weather. I really can’t wait for winter to be here and to be honest, I’m enjoying knitting stuff I’ll actually get to wear. All the things I’ve made in the last few… Continue reading Vulcan Spy / Take #4
Happy hump day everybody! How is your week going? Mine has been pretty good so far. I finally got back to jogging, the weather is nice and slightly cooler and as I’m going nuts about shirt-making, I’ve finished a knitting project. I decided to knit my Dad a pullover with some leftover yarns I had… Continue reading Dad’s Pullover
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
Yes, what you’re seeing is another Grettir pullover. The fifth one, to be exact (one, two, three and four!) and just to let you know, I’ve already purchased the yarn for a sixth one! This one is for my friend Martina, who saw my Grettir, the first I made, and wanted one for herself in… Continue reading The Never Grow Up Grettir
This is my second Dessine-moi un Mouton by Rililie (you can see the first one here) and this time I’ve *followed* the instructions, knitting a pullover and not a cardigan! The yarn I’ve used is, as you might have already guessed, Traveller by CY. I’m still very upset about CY shut down, but I’m happy… Continue reading A Fluoro Sheep
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!
Wow, not too much to say about this pattern any more, apart from that I still love it! It’s my fourth Grettir (first, second and third one!) and I’m not quite sure it will be the last one either. I love finding new color combos for the yoke and I could knit this pattern over… Continue reading Grettir Il Magno
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
