The high season for travel knitting is upon us, and I am already two weeks into it. Although I’m travelling for business and not for pleasure I made sure to bring plenty of yarn with me, mainly because where I am there is absolutety no way to get hold of whatever you didn’t bring with [...]

Remember how I couldn’t find that I’d done any mistakes on the Central Park Hoodie? That was only because I hadn’t looked closely enough. I had forgotten the neck decreases, so the fronts had to be ripped back before seaming. Well. Now the shoulders are grafted and the hood is done.
Aahh, the hood. There was [...]

I’m back from my trip long ago. One thing that never made it back after behaving weirdly for a long time though is my camera, which finally died on me and has now been replaced with a new one. I’m sticking to the Canon Ixus series, being very happy with them. And also was I [...]

Green wool. Yum. This green wool is Takhi Donegal Tweed, from a bagsale (meaning I have a whole kilo of the goodness) bought online but I can’t remember where. I had to email them my credit card number so I will most likely not shop there again until they discover PayPal anyway. The only reason [...]

I suck, I know. I should have shown pictures of the Rogue ages ago, but the thing is that I haven’t been able to get anyone take pictures of me in it in daylight. I can only assure you that it is warm and comfy and I love it very much and have practically been [...]

Pattern: Noro generic scarf
Yarn: Noro (duh..) Silk garden, 2 balls no 31 and 2 balls no 248
Needles: 4.5 mm short metal circulars
This is the Christmas gift my dad asked for in October when he saw the first Noro scarf I made. Only that he wanted more colour, and some grey to go with his coat. [...]

Science, no matter how boring, uninteresting or difficult you think it is to grasp the concepts behind it, can be incredibly beautiful. Like when a knitter applies statistics to all her sockyarn to determine which brands are constantly underweight and which ones give us what we pay for. (Thanks, Polly!)
Or when you are in [...]

Since my dear Grandma passed away, my mom has been in charge of the job of clearing out all her belongings, memories and treasures. Since we all know that fibre addiction runs in the family it is no surprise that Grandma had hidden away some fibre treasures, and one by one, they are now rediscovered. [...]

That pretty much sums up how things have been around here the last few weeks. Times like that require lots of wool to get by, but results in surprisingly few finished knits. OK, make that zero finished knits.. I still have a lot to tell about, like new yarns and stuff I’ve bought (cause I [...]
