Sjalar! / Shawls!
Jag hoppas att ni alla har haft en fantastiskt fin jul! Jag försöker fortfarande komma ikapp med saker och ting efter denna långa månad, men jag tror jag är på gång! Just nu borde jag studera till min nästa tenta, men handarbete känns mer lockande. På tal om hemmagjort så blev våra sängbord färdiga idag…

From me to you, Merry Christmas! Here’s a photo of me in action – all glorious in fuzzy morning hair, pajama, blanket and knitting. I think there was some tea involved too. Perfect! *** Från mig till er, God Jul! Här kommer ett foto på mig i action – alldeles glamourös i stökigt morgonhår, pyajamas,…

Sleep deprivation = inspiration?
December really hasn’t been my month. I was actually sick even before I endured the surprising attack of the gall stones – my neck locked up, and I’ve had really severe pain in my neck, left shoulder and arm. It’s been hurting so much that I haven’t been able to sleep – believe it or…

Express #4
Looks like Magnus kidnapped my blog while I was high on morphine! 🙂 Thank you for the encouraging comments, they mean alot! I’ve never been ill “for real” before, and it’s quite frightening. Still crafting though – as always, it’s calming to the soul! Express: Body done, sleeve done, one more sleeve and a collar…

Guest post
Hello, this is Magnus (Madeleine’s better half) So, Madeleine suddenly had intense stomach pain tonight. At half past eleven we had to go to the emergency room, where she got some medicine that made her throat all numb. Then we waited. And waited. Finally they decided to try another medicine, and that worked, in the…

The scrappy blanket!
By now I’m so far into this one that I’m confident that I’ll actually push though and finish it! Not right now, of course, since it’s such a massive project… Imagine how long the rounds will be when it’s doubled in size! 🙂 You really use up surprisingly large amount of yarn! I’ve raided my…

Scrap project inspiration
Ugh, what a day. Thank heavens for crafting! Something I feel that I’ve always been doing ever since I started crafting is looking for good ideas for all that scrap yarn you end up with (who isn’t?). I’ve tried starting so many different blankets, which is the first thing that comes to mind, but something…

Drops Cotton Merino
So far I’m very happy with Drops new Cotton Merino blend! It knits up lovely and smooth, and feels great to the touch. I hope it’ll wear and tear nicely as well! The downside with Drops’ yarns is that they so often produce them in just the same colors, which aren’t that exciting. I…
