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. […]

Amy Lowden Polesden scarf
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 […]
Meisi by Julia Mueller
I already have a backlog of projects that need to be blogged. So today I share a pair of gloves that I finished in January: the Meisi gloves by Julia Mueller. The yarn I used was a mitten kit from Dandelion & Dogwood in the colorway “Lauderee”. What I liked about the Meisi gloves is […]
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 […]

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 […]
