Month: April 2012

  • A month of craft photos!

    I’m glad to hear you liked Samuels cardigan! ^.^ I hope he’ll get some use of it – the sad thing about baby clothing is how fast they outgrow them! But, they still need clothes, eh? I’ve made lots of progress on my turquoise cotton cardigan, by the way! It felt like the stockinette body…

  • FO: Samuel’s cardigan

    Look, look! There’s an actual baby inside of my baby clothing! Who would have thought? ^.^ Considering that my brothers have seven children together, I really should get them to do some modeling for me, hah! This cardi is a gift for cute little Samuel, the newest addition to the family. Isn’t he adorable? Knitted…

  • FO: Sprinkles

    Here they are! After many wool sweaters I feel very focused on some lighter clothing in cotton – maybe it’s the newly arrived spring that’s inspiring me. ^.^ I’m totally in love with this three colored tweed stitch, it’s fun and easy to knit and looks so nice! Sprinkles #1  – Pink and white Drops Paris,…

  • 36 leaves shawlette!

    Remember my 22 leaves shawlette? I totally love this design, and wish I’d make it in a color that fitted my wardrobe a bit better. So, now I was suddenly in the mood to make another one! Just casted on for it in an intense yellow Kauni wool – plan to make the larger, 36…

  • In progress: Turquoise cotton cardi

    Picked up this cotton cardigan that I started in February (seems like such a long time ago!). Lovely color, eh? I’ve knitted from 8 to 18 cm now for the body – reaching 34 cm before starting the yoke feels so far away! *** Plockade upp den här bomullskoftan som jag startade i februari (känns…

  • Cotton sneakpeak!

    Here’s a sneakpeak on what I’ve been knitting on for a few days now! After lots of wool sweaters I’m in the mood for some cotton! ^.^ *** Här kommer en tjuvtitt på vad jag har stickat på de senaste dagarna! Efter många tröjor i ull känner jag mig sugen på lite bomull! ^.^

  • Translation dishcloth texture (Swe)

    Translation of the structure pattern to Swedish! *** Här kommer en kvick liten översättning till svenska av strukturmönstret i disktrasan! Hur lätt som helst, och så fint! Virka ett antal luftmaskor delbart med 2. Virka ett par varv med fastmaskor som kant. Varv 1: 1 lm, 1 stolpe i första maskan, *hoppa över en maska,…

  • FO: Trigrit Dishcloth

    I wipped this Trigrit dishcloth together the other day while watching a movie – my favourite pattern for cloths that I’ve tried so far! I really like the look of the texture pattern, and it’s both easy and fun to crochet. I used heavier yarn (Drops Paris) and hook 6 mm, so I only chained…

  • FO: Gridlines (baby/childrens sweater)

    Yay! Here’s what I’ve been working on the last few days!   I was very uncertain about this design when I got about halfway into it – at that moment it didn’t look at all as I’d hoped it would. Then I ran out of the green yarn, and got the idea to finish it…
