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 #18: Derpy’s evolution
Pinterest is a bit of an addiction for me. It’s become a little morning ritual to scroll through the app while I sip my cup of coffee and collect ideas. Most of them sadly disappear into the depths of my mind soon after, but every now and then one lingers long enough to spark something new. And that’s pretty much…

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…

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…

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…

On the go #11
My making frenzy seems to have subsided somewhat last month, but I am very happy that I still regularly knit, crochet and sew! I worked on two ongoing projects, completed a request and started a new project. I haven’t continued with the embroidery/hat project from the last updated unfortunately. It will probably take me some time to work up the…

Flaxosaurus
In my posts about my projects on the go, I regularly talked about a knitting project that I didn’t want to reveal too much about yet. But now I’m going to reveal everything! Based on the photos I shared, you could probably deduce that I had knitted two green sweaters. The (free) pattern I used for this is Flax by…

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…
