On the WAMP I sold a beaded knitting bag, and I could have sell a lot more. So I decided to make a few knitting bags for the next one, instead of more bead crochet jewelry, I think I have enough of that stuff now.
I immediately started to search for inspiration on the net. Ooooooooh [...]

I’m far more excited about this event on Sunday, than I was with my wedding.
No wonder. We got married when I was 7 months pregnant, and didn’t care too much for it. We just needed the paper, for administrative purposes. We have finished in the registry office in 5 minutes. But we enjoyed this 5 [...]

This was my first fair isle knitting. It was going to be a hat for me. Then it turned out too small, so I gave it to my daughter. It was too big for her. Now it is owned by a friends daughter, who is modelling it on the picture. She looks fab in it. [...]

YAY! I’ve received my final package from the wonderful Joan(http://bitsycreations.etsy.com) with my brand new avatars, logo, banner, and business card. Now I can go to WAMP with my full armoire.
The Easter holiday was spent with toooo much knitting instead of crocheting for the fair.
I wanted to finish the Jane crossover sweater from Perl Grey Studios, [...]

Yesterday I was too excited to continue posting, now I’m trying to finish my list.
So, the Book and more swap: I’ve received my package, and I’ve ordered a book through Etsy. This long weekend I will look for a nice yarn to send it out to my partner.
Random Act of Kindness group: I’m expecting a few box [...]

Thanks to Ravelry, my postman will be very busy in the next few weeks.
Let me list what I can expect, and what should I send out, before I forget:
- There is a book swap, which was a great idea: You choose something (book, booklet, pattern) your partner wants badly, and send it out to her/him. [...]

I just couldn’t help it again. That thing called. The thing called The Caftan Pullover. I have so many things to do and finish before I should even thinking about touching anything else, but…. you know how these things work. It is like when the Chocolate calls your name in the supermarket. You just happily turn your [...]

Do you know the feeling when after a hard days of boring work, and dealing with that dragon called boss, you finally get home, kick off your shoes, throw yourself on the sofa, stretch out your legs, put them up on the nearest armchair, and just relax….
This is exactly how I feel when I log [...]
Yes, I’m two balls sort with the Caftan pullover. Never mind. I knew this is going to be my most expensive project ever, so two or three more balls will not matter. I’ve been searching the net for an economic solution, and I think I have found the best source on Ebay. With 5,40 per [...]
My first colorwork was the hat I have published here in one of my first posts, and ever since I keep thinking about making something coloured again. But this time something different. Fair Isle is something that requires more confidence than I’ve got so far.
And guess what I have found:
Yes. Amazing, isn’t it? It doesn’t [...]
I was going to write about celebrity knitting, but then I saw that there is a lot of articles in this topic. So I dropped the subject. The one I’m going to write about it now is animals in knitted/crochet gear. I know, there is a lot of articles about this too. But I still [...]
Now, if you have all kind of knitting needles (or at least a few of them), and wonder what to do with them, or how to use them at all, there are a lot of helpful sites, where you can learn knitting. From the basics, to the more advanced techniques, there are help for every [...]
Yesterday evening I immediately started a bag, which is actually a crochet bag, and it is in a bowling bag style. It is going to be smashing! No pictures yet, but I will add one when it is worth it, or you will be able to see a decent progress. I make it in brown [...]
