Sunday knitting

Today is a Sunday like Sundays should be in my opinion, the sun is shining and I took a nice long walk, the kids are playing nicely together and I have started a new knitting project. I used to knit a lot in my late teens and now when I have moved my studio out of our home I have taken up my old hobby. I need to do some textile crafting everyday! 

I am knitting a cardigan from this pattern in Fabel wool yarn from Drops/Garnstudio. I wanted to make it in aqua, but of course they didn't have it in the yarn shop so I went for good old green, I like the additons of white and pink, not crazy about the orange, but  I think it will end up nice for chilly nights in the garden... I made the wrist warmers some time ago from my favurite yarn, Alpacka from Garnstudio.

If you are at all into knitting or crochet the Drops site is a treasure box of free patterns! 

Happy Sunday!

 

Yes you can KNIT

I have re-opened my Etsy shop after the Summer break and listed this new print that I designed for the knitters and especially all the aspiring knitters out there :) A warm knitted scarf also seems to be an appropriate garment this Summer, brr!

 

New year, new socks

I have been doing a lot of clearing up the last weeks and it feels great. I still have a few shelves to go through in my sewing corner, but I am getting there.

The weather has been amazing the last weeks, it started snowing 2 weeks before Christmas and we just keep getting more. The trees look wonderful after two days of some kind of fog that has given all trees a frosty layer that make the cluster of branches resemble of lace. I took the photo below yesterday morning when I was taking the tram into the city. Hard to believe that this is an urban setting!

This weather requires warm socks so I made myself a pair (pic taken on Saturday when they were not yet finished) and am know knitting a pair for Big E to wear when she goes ice-skating.

AND I have started a new sewing project, it's going to be a little series of art quilts with a folklore touch. What are you working on today?
