Winter Garden Sweater
Even before I bought the knitting-mill, I had again caught the knitting bug. It all started with the blankets I made earlier in the year and the fact that a number of seamstresses I follow on YouTube suddenly started knitting. This reminded me that I still had so many cute sweater patterns that I wanted to make for myself one…

I bought a knitting mill!
As the title says, I bought a knitting mill. Somewhere at the beginning of November already, and I’ve played with it quite a bit since then, so it’s high time to show it here too! First and foremost, what is a knitting mill? Ewel, you undoubtedly know a knitting nancy? That is a wooden doll or mushroom with around 4…

Read in November 2022
November was a busy month and therefore a rather fractured reading month, but I still managed to read quite a bit. Not so much the books I had put on my TBR for the month, or at least not all of them. I did finished my 100th book of the year and completed a new favourite series. In total I…

Over the years I have developed my own method of making them and have collected a lot of notes from each new pair I make, tweaking and improving my pattern a bit each time. Granted,…

Anyway, this isn’t new for me for what this blog is concerned, so let’s just roll with it 😉 Hopefully I’ll manage to write out my October and November books in quick succession! Here’s the one from October! In October I read…

Genre blanket: July
I’m quite a bit behind on my genre blanket these days. All my crafting time has been spent on knitting lately, but more on that in a next post 😉 I only just finished July in my genre blanket, and unfortunately haven’t gotten further along with the other months yet. There’s just so much I want to do, and so…

Hot off the knitting needle
Ever since I knitted my first baby blanket, the itch to knit has been slowly coming back to me. To harness that urge, I decided to dig up some more old stash yarn and knit it up in the most basic pattern that I could find that wasn’t just rib stitch. And that’s how I stumbled on the Sliding is…
