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 […]

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 […]
