Alix Dress By Hand London

September 21, 2017 katandleniLeave a comment

I fell in love with this pattern the first time I saw it and got it for Christmas. My dad lovingly taped all the PDF pages together and took great delight in complaining about it after he had given it to me 😉 It stayed, unmade, in my stash for varies reasons, mainly because I… Continue reading Alix Dress By Hand London

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

Ranta Scarf by We Are Knitters

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

Roxy Dress by Knitting for Olive

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

Mohair Cardigan by pret a faire

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

Vintage Butterick 3017

January 1, 2017January 11, 2017 katandleniLeave a comment

I bought this pattern online a couple of years ago as I am a huuuge fan of 60s and 70s mini dresses. I’ve also never really understood why little girl dresses nowadays all tend to be calf length. I mean if there is one time in your life where flashing your knickers is absolutely acceptable… Continue reading Vintage Butterick 3017

Abruzzo Sweater by We Are Knitter

My name is Katharina and I am a We-Are-Knittersholic. I haven’t even finished my Sabrina Swearer when I ordered the Abruzzo sweater but they had one of their 20% off sales and I already had the right size needles so for £40 who can resist? Obviously not me! After my double dose of bobbles (the… Continue reading Abruzzo Sweater by We Are Knitter
