Fairyloot Adult #6: Babel
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. 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…

Harry Potter scarves on the Addi Express
When I told you about my reason for buying a knitting mill, then this was my justification: Harry Potter scarves. For years I have been collecting wool with the intention of making Harry Potter scarves. It was mainly a search for the perfect colours according to my eyes. It actually started ridiculously many years ago when I first saw the…

Genre blanket: August
Finally some more progress in my genre blanket of 2022! Since we are already quite far into the first month of 2023, I have put the idea of making another bookish blanket in the closet this year. I thought about it for a while, because it really is a very cool concept with surprising results. But since I still have…

From Elsa to Crystal
Christmas has been over for a while and the Christmas presents have all been unwrapped, so time to show them here! Like every year, I make a large part of my Christmas presents myself. My most productive months of the year, when I actually finish crafts, are usually November and December. This year I kept track: in 2022 I made…

Read in December 2022
December started out as a difficult reading month. In theory this should be one of the coziest reading months of the year, with blankets and fairy lights, but in practice my mind was busy with so many other things that I had trouble keeping my attention. Once I got into a book and got along with the introduction of the…
