  • Knitty update

    Today I got to review my pattern before Knitty goes live with the new issue! It’s so exciting! I’m not sure wether to run around or lie down for a while.  I’m so happy with the photos  and I can’t wait to show you! Not to mention that the last exam for this semester is…

  • Finished: Udda poncho – again!

      Here’s the second version of my Udda poncho, this time with the body worked in garter stitch. Turned out really soft, quishy and stretchy, but I’m not as happy with how these colors turned out together… Yarn: Scraps from my adult Vandrare, Bittersweet, and some white Drops Baby Merino.   ***   Här kommer…

  • Shawl madness!

        I’ve suddenly gone completely mad about shawls! Browsing patterns, casting on new ones… I’m especially fond of shawls that have different sections, which make them perfect for using several different colors. I love going through my stash to see how colors work together! I can highly recommend Stephen West’s new class on Craftsy,…

  • Arvid & Vandrare (Give me! #1)
