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 […]
Knitting
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 […]

Ocean Breeze Cardigan
Last year I discovered that DROPS has tons of free knitting patterns, one of them the Ocean Breeze Cardigan. I completed this already last summer, but only last weekend I got around to sew on the buttons. I had some yarn in my stash that I wanted to use, but is was thinner than the […]
Goya wristwarmers
When I made my first pair of wristwarmers last year, I was not sure if I would wear them very much. I made them because it was a nice little project and they looked so cute. But they got lots of wear. Therefore I decided I needed a second pair. This time I made the […]
Andy Satterlund Hortencia Cardigan
This is the Hortencia Cardigan from Andi Satterlund. I chose this pattern as one of the prices for the OAL 2105. Please excuse the bad pictures, it is so hard to photograph when it is not getting light outside. Yarn: I used Big Merino Hug from Rosy Green Wool in ruby. It is a dark […]
Preparing for Winter: Wristwarmers and Gloves
After my success with the Myrna cardigan I wanted to try a more complicated pattern. However, it should not be a too complicated project. So I searched for something small. What better than to try some wristwarmers or gloves? They would also be of need, as my (only) pair of gloves was beyond repair. I […]
