Forest animals dungerees
Christmas has been over for a while and the Christmas presents have all been unwrapped, but I didn’t show them all here yet. I can already hear you thinking: “Erm, Charlotte, there must have already been 7 posts about presents with I don’t know how many creations! When will this end?!” Well, now, actually. This is the last of the…

My Christmas sweater
After everything I made for Christmas to give away, finally something I made for myself! The Julgran sweater* by Andi Satterlund has been on my wishlist to make since its publication in 2017. Five years later and I finally got around to it! * Unfortunately Andi decided to close her shop at the end of 2022, so this pattern can…

Review Secret Project #1: Tress of the Emerald Sea
In March 2022, author Brandon Sanderson announced in quite a theatrical way that he had secretly written five new books. He decided to offer four of those secret projects in a non-traditional way, namely through self-publication that he could hopefully fund through a campaign on Kickstarter. This turned out to be a masterful move, as that campaign became the most…

Jim pants
Christmas has been over for a while and the Christmas presents have all been unwrapped, but I didn’t show them all here yet. Well, not the homemade presents. After all the knitting mill creations, another sewing project today! For my youngest godchild I had already made the Jim pants from La Maison Victor (Sep/Oct 2016) a while back. I liked…

Fairyloot Adult #7: Spells for Forgetting
Originally, Fairyloot’s focus was on Young-Adult Fantasy books, but that changed in 2022 with the launch of their Adult Fantasy Book-Only subscription. As a subscriber to their regular YA subscription, I was given priority to sign up for this new service, and as a book and fantasy enthusiast, I simply couldn’t resist. September was already the seventh box of this…

As a subscriber to their regular YA subscription, I was given priority to sign up for this new service, and as a book and fantasy enthusiast, I simply couldn’t resist. Last August I already received the 6th box.…

Harry Potter Headbands
They’re all the rage these days, headbands. I saw them appearing everywhere and I had thought several times that this would be a fun craft project. In the meantime I had made the Gryffindor beanies and also wanted to do something with the other leftovers from the Harry Potter-scarves, but hats suddenly didn’t really appeal to me that much anymore.…

Fox beanies
In between all the Harry Potter projects I made on my Addi, I wanted to revisit the little fox beanie pattern I had made when I first got my machine for practice and as a tension experiment. This time I wanted to make the beanie in real foxy colours. For one I used orange with beige, for another orange and…

Gryffindor beanies
After finishing the Harry Potter scarves on my Addi, I still had some of the used yarn left over and an itch in my fingers to continue working on the machine. And what goes better with scarves than hats? So I started experimenting with configurations of yarn stripes, first with the Gryffindor leftovers. Since I didn’t have enough left over…

Reading Journal December
As in November, I used a piece of paper I found in a bag in the attic for my reading log for December. That piece of paper actually became the entire inspiration for the theme. The paper in question is the green paper with golden dots. A rather Christmassy whole, without pushing it too far. I thought it was ideal…
