I’m going to keep this post short and sweet to get it up as quickly as possible! Sometime last year I decided I wanted a striped oversized “mohair- style” cardigan. Because I didn’t have much experience in pattern making, I didn’t want to spend a fortune on yarn so I looked into buying something that… Continue reading Candyfloss Cardigan
Happy New Year everyone! As always my blog posts are few and far between. However, instead of shoving “update my blog more” onto my list of New Year’s resolutions, I’ve just decided to accept that I won’t ever be a prolific blogger and just try to make sure I write posts on those projects that… Continue reading The Puffer My Size by Ministrikk
I’ve been wanting to knit this pattern for aaaages (for a change ;-), especially as it comes in both child and adult sizes and anyone who knows me, knows how much I love twinning with my mouse! However, I was always put off by the obscene amount of wool it requires (600g for the Child’s… Continue reading The Puffer by Ministrikk
Wow, hello again, it’s been a while! I could start off this post listing all the excuses I’ve been giving myself as to why I’ve not posted sooner, but I’ll skip all of that. Truth be told had I really wanted to write, I would have. But because I’m the kind of person who needs… Continue reading Hualpa Kimono by We Are Knitters
You know those “quick” projects that are supposed to keep you busy whilst you wait for the wool for your current project to arrive but then end up taking forever? Yeah, well, this was one of them! I cast this on after ordering the wool for my Majagenser thinking that I’d be half way through… Continue reading Fly With Me Vest by Paelas

When We Are Knitters released their Autumn Collection I fell in love with two items in particular. The Canal Sweater and the Ranta Scarf. I haven’t made a scarf since I put a ban on scarf making when I decided to learn how to knit “properly” at the beginning of the year but this one… Continue reading Ranta Scarf by We Are Knitters
After falling in love with the oversized mohair cardigan I had made my mama for Christmas I decided I needed one for myself! On Instagram, I had been admiring the photos filed under the #bernadettecardigan and wanted to create my own. Like the pret-a- fair Mohair Cardigan, the Bernadette cardigan consists basically of 3 rectangles… Continue reading Bernadette Cardigan
When this pattern was released this summer in Danish, I fell in ❤️. Hard. (Picture: Knitting for Olive) I was checking their Instagram page on a daily basis to see if it had been translated into English yet and was determined to make it although it looked far more advanced than anything I had knit… Continue reading Roxy Dress by Knitting for Olive
It is well known in my family that it is notoriously difficult to buy presents for my mum. Each year the conversation goes something like this *(careful, its riveting stuff!): One of us kids: “What do you want for Christmas?” Mum: “Nothing” “Ok, Is there anything you need?” “No” and every year I spend hours… Continue reading Mohair Cardigan by pret a faire
