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 […]

In the Land of Oz Shawlette by Adrienne Fong
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 […]

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. […]
Pullover Drops Autumn Cardinal 2023

Cardigan Citadel
This cardigan Citadel by Joji Locatelli was a big challenge for me and I was not sure at first if I could do it. But I just started and now I have a beautiful jacket that I wear often. I found the yarn in our local yarn store. It was a remnant that was marked […]
A few socks
Earlier this year I treated myself to yarn from dandelion & dogwood . The left yarn is a sock yarn and was called “The queens gambit”, named after the TV series, and I find the name very appropriate. The right yarn is “Lauree” and intended for gloves. I knitted the sock yarn into two pairs […]
Hinterm Stein: The Big Y
This sweater or rather, this yarn has a long history behind it. The yarn is 100% alpaca from Nieplitzhof, which I bought years ago, without having a specific project in mind. I have no idea how I came up with it, and I can’t find the exact yarn in the store anymore. Mine had a […]
