I didn’t make FO photographs all winter. Terribly lazy isn’t it? But at first it seemed like it was always raining, and after that it was too cold. Anyway, it’s spring now, and this is my Damson. Knitted in Malabrigo sock, not a favourite yarn, but the pattern was good. I really like the way [...]

Colors

Finally past the fair isle part on the Halla sweater, so I could see how the colors work together. And it looks just like I pictured it in my head. Fair isle is fun! Halla is not a fast knit (not for me at least), but this is partly because I added 10 cm to [...]
A nice weekend in September

I made my first jam today of wild berries: sloes, hawthorn berries, and rose hips. We harvested them two days ago and I kept them in the freezer for two nights. I was really curious if it would work out, I’ve never made jam before. But it tastes really good. It is fun to do, [...]
Fair Isle

I knitted quite a lot in my holiday, especially in the car when driving to and from Sweden. I took the Fair Isle Yoke with me to knit, the yarn is strong enough to survive camping. It is a fairly quick knit, although it is a 4 ply yarn. I knitted the Fair Isle part [...]
summer projects

A whole lot of frogged knitting projects since the last time I wrote. I wanted to knit more from my stash. I liked the Nancy pattern from Louisa Hardings’ Ianthe booklet very much. I thought I could use the Rowan Pure Wool DK for this that has been in my stash for a few years [...]
Update

My arms are getting better so I’ve knitted a bit more. The left front of Olivia is done. It’s really an achievement! I now only have to do the right front and than the sewing and finishing can start. I allowed myself to get sidetracked a little by the Fleece shawl. It’s a very nice [...]
measurements

That was really a lot of fun I had with measuring myself and my clothes. I used an article in Knitty from La Bonne Tricoteuse/Bonne Marie Burns “What size are you?”. You have to measure yourself first and after that your favourite cardigan (or actually the cardigan that fits you best), your favourite pullover and [...]
Too big

I tried on my Emily last weekend and it is waaaay too big. I looked like a fluffy pig. I have to frog and knit it again. Maybe I can still use the sleeves, they looked quite normal, but the body was much too wide. I think it will be boring to knit the same [...]
On the needles

I am working on two other projects next to Woolsthorpe: Emily, from Kim Hargreaves book Heartfelt, and my first lace project: Drops 111-39. The last one is a feather and fan scarf that should be doable for a first attempt at lace. But the Kid Silk is giving me a hard time. It is a [...]
My knit blog

Welcome to my knitting blog. I am totally obsessed with knitting the last few months. I also love to read knit blogs. So why not start my own blog, so I can talk about knitting as much as I want and hopefully will meet other people with the same obsession. English is not my native [...]
