Hello peeps! It’s been a while since my last post, but life has been very busy around here and on top of that, I didn’t receive my stuff from Australia yet, so I’m still sewing machine-less. All my beloved patterns, fabrics and gear should be here soon thou, so fear not, I’ll be making my… Continue reading West Knits | Outer Space
Hello lovelies, how are you going? I’m writing from Italy and to be honest, the first week here has been totally madness. We’ve been very busy knocking down walls and tiles and everything else in our new house and only now I finally had the time to write a new post. I’m still waiting for… Continue reading Brooklyn Tweed / Koto Pullover
Winter is here and I’ve to admit, in the last few days, the weather has finally been cooler. Nice. Just in time for this change of climate, I’ve finally finished my Ondawa! It’s a pullover, designed by Michele Wang for the Brooklyn Tweed collection Fall 2014. It has been in my queue since it came… Continue reading Brooklyn Tweed / Ondawa Pullover
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
Happy Friday everyone! How was your week? Mine pretty busy and hectic and I’m very much looking forward to this week end – my plan is just sewing all the way through Sunday and try completing the last couple of xmas presents I have to finish. This is another one of them – it’s the… Continue reading Fair isle Finlayson
I’m in full swing with the making of xmas presents and by now you are probably already sick of reading about them! The truth is, I really like handmade presents and I enjoy the process of thinking what the different recipients may like or not, which colors they prefer and the size they wear. It’s… Continue reading Coquelicots Coco
Over a year ago, Cephalopod Yarns decided to surprise us customers dyeing a last round of Little Traveller. This yarn is the thinner version of my beloved Traveller – it comes in 115g skeins per 512m, so it’s a light fingering 3 ply, perfect for lace projects. That’s what I’ve used it for the first… Continue reading Ōshima Pullover
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
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
