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 …
It’s almost May and maybe you are already starting to make plans for your summer vacation. Or are you going early this year and all your plans are already set? We are going to the South of Sweden in just a few weeks, and I’ll probably need a shawl to wear while walking on the …
This cute little guy is Grautier (grey animal, but also a name for a donkey). He lives somewhere in our neighborhood and visits us several times a day to get love and food. He has been doing this for several years already, and when I decided to make a cat-inspired collection of knitting patterns, of …
Remember the last photo of my temperature blanket where I wasn’t happy with all the turquoise? Well, the universe listened and gave me a neverending streak of purple and cornflower blue instead. That’s not only just as boring, it’s also much colder with temperatures down to – 3 °C. But I’m proud that I’m still …
Last year in spring I started the Drops CAL for Spring Lane Mystery Blanket CAL. The beginning went well, with a lot less swearing than during the (still unfinished) The Meadow Mystery Blanket CAL. Then some people who crochet a lot better and faster than I do and probably don‘t have 30 projects going at …

There’s something I learned about temperatures, temperature blankets and starting them in January. Temperatures don’t change much in January where I live. Neither from day to day nor from high to low on a given day. So at the moment, my temperature patches are mostly turquoise. Turquoise for high, low, today, tomorrow. On lucky days, …
