I’m very excited to present my newest pattern release, Anaitis Socks! Anaitis is the Greek name of the Goddess of the Seas. An unusual and beautiful scalloped cuff pattern stands for her mermaid tails, the twisted lattice on the back for her scales and the two stitches crossed over one stitch on the front are …
I love knitting cables. Really, I do. But what I don’t like are cable needles. One second they are here, the next second the couch has eaten them. Or a cat has mistaken them for a toy and ran away with them. Or they just fall out of the stitches they were supposed to hold. …
When I first met my husband, he had two young cats, Lena was almost 2 and Tigi was just five months old. Her mother had abandoned her and my husband, who had just lost Lena’s sister to an illness, gladly adopted her. She was a cuddly lap cat, until one day, when my husband came …
Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Friday: I got 225 m out of the 100 g of fiber, that’s still quite far away from what I want. But it’s better. It’s made with my lace whorl and it didn’t break, I love how it looks, in the skein as well as knitted up. It’s not my practice fiber, …
It’s been that time again. You know, the time where I realize that I won’t learn to sew if I never do it. During our vacation in Sweden, I bought a magazine with knitting, crochet and sewing patterns. And there was this pattern for a simple shirt, and I understood the instructions in Swedish, so …
There’s a saying in German that translates to “if you think you’re thinking, you’re only thinking that you think”. So, while spinning tonight with my lace whorl, I thought I was getting better. Then my yarn broke. I joined again, continued and after a while, I thought I was getting better. But then my yarn …
In case you’ve been wondering – no, I haven’t given up on my 100 days of Spinning project! I made this on the last weekend Having finished all old projects still lying around, I changed from my regular whorl to the lace whorl I bought a while ago. It’s almost like learning to spin all …
Today has been quite stressful, so this will be just a quickie. 30 g of my treasured Roseberry by Elfenwolle (50 % BFL, 50 % rayon) have been turned into this: 30 g are left for spinning tomorrow and 60 g are hiding somewhere in the chaos that’s my yarn room in progress of being …
Ready and waiting for it’s bath, 330 m / 100 g of Falkland Wool 💕 For the first time, I’ve done most of the Andean bracelet myself instead of letting hubby watch a tutorial and wrap the yarn around my hand. I don’t know why I have such a hard time with the Andean bracelet, …
I’m pretty sure I’ve written this before about sewing (which I still can’t do), but the same seems to be true for spinning (and maybe even other things, who knows). If you don’t do it, you’re not going to learn it. And neither am I. So I’ve decided to challenge myself and spin every day …
