Out of sheer frustration
I’m still unsuccesful with the stipey shawl. I just can’t get the edges right. I’m done wanting perfection. I would just really like to have both sides even, I don’t even care if it still looks ugly. I’m now aiming for uniform ugliness. *cough* But even that is out of my reach 🙁 . Out of sheer frustration, I started…

Charami is bilingual!
It took a while to set it up, but Charami.com is now officially bilingual, making english.charami.com obsolete! Thanks to a super useful plugin, I can now easily write posts in two languages, while keeping the languages completely separated visually, but without the hassle of having to maintain two separate blogs. Once you have chosen the language you want to see…

The baby went to London too as she still needed to be breastfed ;). Staying indoors with a two-year-old for a whole weekend wasn’t recommended by my…

I made some small adjustments to make an actual dress. Below I’ll provide a copy of the actual pattern in black text. My adjustments are added…

Princess dress
The second Christmas present that I finished was the gift for my littlest niece E. She also was the lucky recipient of the rainbow hearts-blanket, but for this gift I wanted to make something wearable: a dress. On Ravelry my eye fell on this project by Gabeycakes. And the best bit was that the pattern for this dress turned out…

The First Christmas present
My first hand-made gift this Christmas that exchanged owners was the one I made for my godmother (aka meetje). A long while ago I had purchased the yarn for the project I wanted to make for her. The yarn was Drops Fabel in the colour 677 green/turquoise. The plan was to make a shawl out of three skeins of this…

So a couple of blog posts are on their way 🙂 In the picture above you can already see how I wrapped all my presents, with the exception from the present wrapped in the shop…
