Jane Jacket
Got inspired after looking at some lovely crochet designs by The Moule Hole on Instagram. Besides the yellow baby blanket it’s been a long time since I did any crocheting. Decided to start up a Jane Jacket using stash yarn. At first I tried the multicolored combo up top, but the beautiful colors sort of disappeared in the mohair. Fortunately I had the perfect shade of purple Mini Maiden from Handmaiden, to match the Onion Wool + Nettles, and Hobbii Diablo.
Sunshine blanket #2
Sakta men säkert går det framåt med min Solskensfilt! Kommer antagligen inte bli klar innan min bebis kommer, men i vinter kommer jag ändå att använda min Gacoco. Jag har tydligen en svaghet för bebisfiltar!
Making slow progress on my Sunshine blanket. Will probably not be finished before my baby is born, but this winter I intend to use my Gacoco anyway. I’m a sucker for baby blankets, it seems!
Sunshine blanket
Virkad bebisfilt påbörjad för bebis i magen! Virkade en i mintgrönt till pojken för tre år sedan nu (ser ut som att jag aldrig postade om den färdig?). Den har i alla fall varit välanvänd och älskad, så självklart blir det en till nästa bebis med! 🙂 Denna gång använder jag solgul Tilda från Svarta Fåret, färg 33.
Crochet baby blanket started for my baby bump! Made one in mint green for my boy three years ago now (looks like I never posted about it finished?). It’s one of the most used baby items I made myself, so of course I’ll be making another one now! 🙂 This time using sunshine yellow Tilda from Svarta Fåret, colorway 33.
FO: Baby cardi
Hurra! Väldigt nöjd med denna färdiga restgarnskofta! Ser ut att vara storlek 3-6 månader ungefär. Jag har använt Malabrigo Worsted i färgen Rick Chocolate (rest från Glöd-koftan) tillsammans med Clever från Nerd Girl Yarns, färgen DJ wretched cat (en av mina absoluta favoriter, rest från ponchon Udda).
Mönstret är Everyday Baby av Lisa Clarke. Ändringar jag har gjort är den rullande halskanten, rätstickade framkanter, och att lägga till två maskor i oket för att göra resåren symmetrisk. Jag använde detta gratismönster till den virkade blomman.
Yay! Very happy with this finished scrap cardigan! Looks like size 3-6 months or thereabout. I used brown Malabrigo Worsted in colorway Rich Chocolate (scrap from Glöd cardigan) together with Clever from Nerd Girl Yarns, colorway DJ wretched cat (one of my biggest yarn favorites, scrap from Udda poncho).
Pattern is Everyday Baby by Lisa Clarke. Mods I’ve made is the rolling neckline, garter front edge, and adding two sts in the yoke to make the rib symmetrical. I used this free pattern for the crochet flower.

Nej, snön har inte dykt upp än. Men, jag hittade just dessa foton från förra vintern som jag glömt att dela med er!
Gratismönstret Top down shawl plus 2 nystan Lang Yarns Jawoll Magic 6-fach lika med galen färgglädje! 🙂
No, snow has yet to arrive. But, I just found these photos from last winter that I’ve forgotten to share with you!
Free crochet pattern Top down shawl plus 2 skeins of Lang Yarns Jawoll Magic 6-fach equals crazy color happiness! 🙂
Pretty pretty pretty…
Jag lyxade till det och unnade mig tre härvor av Allegria Grande för en härlig sjal till mig själv – den kyliga hösten har landat! Tog mig några försök att hitta rätt mönster, dock. Först provade jag Collina Cowl, men var inte förälskad efter första härvan. Testade igen med en enkel resår, men det kändes inte heller rätt. Till sist provade jag den virkade Fortune’s shawlette, och den får verkligen garnet att komma till sin rätt! En enkel repetition med fint resultat!
I indulged and purchased three skeins of Allegria Grande to make myself a glorious shawl – the chilly autumn has arrived! Took me a few tries to find the right pattern though. First I tried the Collina Cowl, but after knitting up the first skein I wasn’t in love. After that I did a simple rib in the round, but didn’t feel that either. Finally I tried the crochet Fortune’s shawlette, and it really makes the gorgeous yarn justice! A nice and simple pattern repeat with a lovely result!
New pot holders!

FO: Crochet booties
Söta virkade tofflor från Ag handmades. Jag prövade dessa, men min lilla skrutt hade stora fötter och hade behövt en större storlek. Istället gjorde jag Ovanpåsockor till honom! 🙂
Cute crochet booties from Ag handmades. I tried making these, but my little guy have big feet and would have needed a larger size. Instead I made the Socks on top for him! 🙂
