College-style jacket
When I started this cardigan in early February, I honestly thought it would be a relatively quick project. A classic style, not too complicated, and above all, very nice to look at. It wasn’t until four months later that it was finally completely finished. It wasn’t a gigantic project in terms of knitting, but it was one that occasionally disappeared…

On the go #20
While fewer creative updates have appeared on the blog over the past few months, that certainly didn’t mean I haven’t made anything or started making anything at all. On the contrary! The Alley Jumper (@Fabelknitwear) I have a number of Fabel Knitwear’s knitting patterns on my wishlist, and although many look relatively simple, I often see comments that her instructions…

Huntrix sweater
It took just over three months to finish this sweater, from the very first idea to weaving in the very last thread. And as you’ve read several times in my On the Go updates over the past few months, it was anything but a straightforward process. There was an initial idea that I tackled with great enthusiasm. The stitches flew…

On the go #19
Because of my week in Ibiza and just a few “I-don’t-feel-like-it” days, I’m – surprise! – behind on everything I want to make for Christmas. Whoops. You might notice that here on the blog too, because every free moment is currently more likely to be spent crocheting or knitting than writing blog posts. So, here’s this quick, word-light update on…

On the go #16: Kpop Demon Hunters – The Sequel (in Reverse)
In my previous On the Go update, I left you with a bit of a knitting dilemma: what to do with the piece of my Huntrix jumper that was already on the needles? Start over according to my second idea, or try to salvage the earlier version? That knot has since been untangled. Literally. The old piece was unravelled, and…

Elephant mittens
They have already made a few appearances in the “on the go” section, but now that they are FI.NAL.LY completely finished, they truly deserve a solo spotlight with a dedicated post. For years, crocheted mittens have been a staple in my autumn and winter outfits. They are perfect for warming slightly cold hands without immediately losing all feeling in your…

Tinker Bell Dress
To celebrate the birth of my friend’s baby daughter, I once again felt the itch to make something. Over the years, I’ve built up the habit of crocheting blankets as baby gifts, but funnily enough that didn’t even cross my mind this time. No, this time I wanted to knit a little dress. It had been a while since I…

On the go #15: Kpop Demon Hunters Edition
My creative outbursts are currently completely devoted to Kpop Demon Hunters. My nieces and nephews have been in the thrall of this Netflix film for a while now, and yes, thanks to them, I also ended up on the sofa on a summery Saturday evening to watch the film. I must admit that I completely understand the hype. The film…

On the go #14
Recently, in my post about the granny summer top, I mentioned how I was craving a meditative crochet project. Something I could do mindlessly. That brought the elf coat back to the forefront of my thoughts – a project I started a while ago but abandoned once I reached the sewing stage. I’m the kind of person who likes doing…

New favourite sweater (eventually)
It’s ridiculous sometimes how long I let projects drag on, when really, they could be finished in no time at all! The last time I blogged about this sweater – over a year ago by now – it still looked like this: no sleeves, no collar. The rest – the sleeves and the collar – were actually knitted before that…
