Sandy Shore Sweater by Drops design

Posted on 9. February 20259. February 2025by MySewingDreams

Over the last few years, I have knitted quite a number of warm winter sweaters. So it was high time to knit something more summer-appropriate. I still had a lot of yarn left from my Susaen Sweater. While browsing Ravelry, I found the Sandy Shore Sweater by Drops design. It met all my expectations for […]

“Managing your Flamingo” gloves by Dagmar Mora

Posted on 28. December 202428. December 2024by MySewingDreams

Last Christmas, I was given some lovely yarn from A Homespun House in the colorway “Ash” as a gift. This is a sock yarn, but as I wear my hand-knit socks only on rare occasions, I thought I would get more use out of a pair of gloves. So I searched my library and found […]

Winter Concert Ready: Knitting Black Fishtail Wristwarmers

Posted on 20. December 202419. December 2024by MySewingDreams

I always wanted to remake the Fishtail Wristwarmers in black. As they are rather delicate, a black version would be perfect for wearing during concerts, especially when our orchestra plays in cold churches during winter. This year, I finally got around to buying Baby cool wool from LanaGrossa in black. I am not sure when […]

Green pyjamas

Posted on 19. December 202419. December 2024by MySewingDreams

I needed new pyjamas as my old black one (here and here) was literally falling apart, at least the top. The fabric got threadbare and tore around the shoulders and the cuff edges. It was time to sew a new one. I used the same pattern as last time, i.e. the ITS Henley top and […]

Some panties

Posted on 18. December 202417. December 2024by MySewingDreams

As I wrote in my last lingerie post, the Esme panties I made were a bit too small, so I made them up again, this time in a size M. The fit is much better now. All fabric was from my stash. The lilac version was a pantie kit from Wien 2000 that I purchased […]

Yellow striped socks and gloves

Posted on 17. December 202417. December 2024by MySewingDreams

Last year I really enjoyed knitting the striped advent socks so I bought some more self-striping yarn from the same Etsy shop. I immediately fell in love with a yellow-white skein (not available anymore) and cast on a pair of socks. The socks I used again the instructions from the craftsy class “Socks – two […]

Nude lingerie set

Posted on 3. November 20243. November 2024by MySewingDreams

I started with this set already last year, before making the “Confetti” bra. I needed a new nude lingerie set to wear under light-colored blouses. My old one was very worn out. No wonder, it is nearly ten years old. Where has the time gone? I used two of my goto patterns, the Maya bra […]

Chartres Cardigan by Amy Lowden

Posted on 19. May 202427. May 2024by MySewingDreams

This is the second time that I knit a Chartres Cardigan by Amy Lowden. I used the same yarn as for my previous version, just in another colorway. The Chartres Cardigan has the perfect shape and fit for me with the V-neckline and Bishop-sleeves. Alterations I did not make any changes to the pattern. This […]

Itch to Stitch Algarve Top

I participated in the latest pattern test from Itch to Stitch, the Algarve top. The pattern is described as: Simple yet stylish! The Algarve Top is a knit top you’ll love wearing over and over. Made for soft, drapey fabrics, the Algarve features lovely gathers below the front yoke. Wear it tucked in or out—it’s […]

In the Land of Oz Shawlette by Adrienne Fong

Posted on 17. March 202417. March 2024by MySewingDreams
This blog post describes my experience when I knitted the In the Land of Oz shawlette by Adrienne Fong. I used a skein of Merino Cashmere fingering yarn form A homespun house in the colorway Keepsake. Learn all about my mistakes and how I ended with a beautiful shawlette.

For Christmas, I was gifted a beautiful skein of yarn. I thought a lot about what I would make out of it. First, I wanted to make a hat but did not find a suitable pattern for a fingering weight yarn. Finally, I chose the “In the Land of Oz” shawlette, a free pattern from […]
