It is been a while since I participated in a pattern test, but I could not resist when Kennis from Itch to Stitch asked for testers for the Andes Jacket. This is the perfect pattern for the upcoming season when the weather is cold and rainy. I like the slim fit and design lines and […]

My “To-Want”-List until December 31, 2023
As part of the “Blogtoberfest” hosted by Judith Peters this is my “To-Want”-list until the end of this year. This is not a “to-do”-list, but a “to-want ” list: Things that I would love to do and that I am looking forward to do during the last 73 days that are left of 2023. Let’s […]
Some more panties
You cannot have enough panties, right? I had some fabric left from my Happy strappy lingerie set that I wanted to use. I went with two of my TNT patterns: the Watson Bikini from Cloth Habit and the Chloe Thong from EvielaLuve. For the thongs, I added some white fabric from my stash. It is […]
Socks “Hildegard” by Fröbelina
I am trying to use patterns that I already have in my stash. So for my last sock project, I used the pattern Hildegard from Fröbelina aka Katharina Damschen. This is a free Ravelry download. The socks are knitted top-down and feature a beautiful lace pattern along the leg and the top of the feet. […]
Emerald Erin Wednesday cheekies
I totally jumped on the bandwagon and made some Wednesday cheekies, the latest and already trendy pattern from Emerald Erin, back in August. Fabric: All fabric and notions were from my stash. I love it when I just can dig through my stash and find all that I need for a project. However, I was […]
Pullover Drops Autumn Cardinal 2023

Charlotte
Last year between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, when I was slowly recovering from Covid 19, I made this little zipper bag: Charlotte from the book “Tolle Taschen selbst genäht” by Miriam Dorneman. Fabric: All fabric (scraps) were from my stash. For the main fabric I used a light denim, lining is a light cotton. […]

This is the Polesden scarf by Amy Lowden from tailoressstudio.com. Yarn: I used the yarn from the 2021 advent yarn calender from dandelion and dogwood. The scarf pattern was released at the same time and has been designed with yarn advent calendars in mind. I used 4 mm needles for the single ply yarn and […]
Amy Lowden Clandon Sweater
This is the Clandon sweater by Amy Lowden from tailoressstudio. This is the very first time that I participated in a test knit back in January last year. As I am a rather slow knitter I was unsure if I could knit this up in time. However, my concern was unnecessary. I was not the […]

It is designed for low-stretch knits and has six front options and three different backs. I made Front B and Back J. Fabric: I got the fabric from B’wear […]
