A month of craft: #5, 6 and 7
I’ve cheated, I know, so here comes three challenge days at once. Saturday I was away all day, and Sunday I was dead tired. Today is a great day – I’m working on a new design that I sketched up yesterday, and I’m absolutely thrilled about it! I can’t wait to finish it and have…

A month of craft #4 – Inspiration outdoors
Nature sure can be incredibly inspiring! For todays theme, I thought I’d share some photos I took a few years ago in a friends gorgeous garden. *** Naturen kan verkligen vara inspirerande! För dagens tema tänkte jag dela med mig av lite foton jag tog för några år sedan i en väns fantastiska trädgård.

My cable needle!
I got a question about my awesome cable needle! I’ve bought it at the Swedish online shop below. *** Jag fick en fråga om min grymma flätsticka! Jag har köpt den hos Vinterverkstan. Där har jag även köpt den här varvräknaren, som är min favorit.

A month of craft #3 – An old FO
An old finished object! Hawthorne is a wonderful shawl that was a huge pleasure to knit! Knitted it last year in Drops Alpaca. I’ve gifted it to my mother, so I might need to make a new one for myself! 🙂 My exam today felt like it went well! I wish that…

A month of craft #2 – Craft tools
On the theme “Craft tools”, I’ve gathered together a few personal favorites from my stash! When it comes to crochet hooks, I prefer the ones in metal before wood or plastic. And! Those that I count as my favorites all have one thing in common – they are slightly longer than the average hook, at…

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…
