Striped shawl
A shawl for my man. He says it itches. Not true. Or maybe just a little. I find that the more I wear woollen stuff the more I´m itch-resistant. This is made of DROPS Alpaca and DROPS Delight. I am...

I hate you Knitting Daily. I should be working and studying, dammit! Instead I´m reading blogs and adding projects to my Ravelry queue like crazy. Oh boy, oh boy!

Spring shawl
Here is a Swallowtail Shawl that I knitted using the handpainted DROPS Fabel. The color transitions could have been smoother but I like it. Next time I´d knit it with bigger needles to make it more...

What I did this summer
Various things. What I didn´t do (much) was knitting. I finished the Andrea´s Shawl some weeks ago but I was too lazy to take the pictures. Maybe tomorrow... or the day after... At first I couldn´t...

Andrea´s Shawl: checked!
Another shawl from my list is done. The intent was to knit rather a shawlette than a big shawl. I decided for the largest version because I read all the people´s notes that even the medium size is so...

Deep Green
THIS is exactly what I wanted to achieve. I just cannot force my camera to take the green as it really looks like though the lighting is just perfect. I wish I were a better photographer... In reality...

First attempts
I love knitting for other people. But I hate knitting something for a person and then finding out that it doesn´t fit. I wanted to knit my man a balaclava so he wouldn´t be cold on some of his trips to...

A Brand New Year

Lacy February
Past few weeks I have been mostly consumed by work. Not that it bothered me. At work I am already known as "the one who knows the right and the wrong side". We did some experiments that included a...

Sock contemplation
First of all I didn´t die. I just had some weird non-blogging/blog reading/ravelling period. My dear friends, I do not recommend such periods to anybody. It takes ages to put all the "new" projects and...

Cotton shawls
Cotton is not my favorite fiber to knit, to say the least. Yet I keep forgetting it over and over. It often happens that I walk by the cotton stuffed shelf in my LYS and I am struck by the most...
