Baby yeti giletti

Eerst en vooral bedankt om mijn emopost van vorige keer te lezen. Jullie commentaren betekenden echt veel voor mij. En zoals iemand mij heel lief in mijn gezicht zei: volgende keer wanneer ik emotioneel loop zal ik alles eerst nog ‘s grondig herlezen voor ik iets post. Beloofd 🙂 Over beloftes gesproken: ik had beloofd iets over het afgewerkte baby-truitje...

Thundersocks – Free Lion-o knitting chart

The second sock is finished! Actually, it has been finished since November, but I haven’t had the time until now to create the third chart. Guess what character got the honour to go on my left foot… That’s right, Lion-o! Thundercats will be really on the move now. You can download the pdf here, and find it on Ravelry.

SnB’s boob tube

Another pattern straight from Debbie Stoller’s lot. How do you like my boob tube? Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I wanted to redo some nice ones, but I just don’t have the opportunity to do so at the moment. These are taken at the house, which is basically still a building site. But at least by now the...

Thundercats, ho! – Free knitting chart

Ah, youth sentiment, I guess I’ll always carry you with me. And now even on my feet. Here’s a little Panthro tribute to go on my right foot. And of course I couldn’t not do the logo. You can download both the logo and Panthro charts, and can find them on Ravelry through the links below. Next up is the...

Saucy convertible

I may have already mentioned a few times that I like retro clothing. So I thought the Knitting it old school knitting book would be just my cup of tea. It contains some great-looking vintage patterns (although, to be honest, not as many as I would have hoped). The pattern that I really wanted to make was the saucy convertible,...

How to steek – crochet method

Steeking means that you cut right through your knitting. Now, don’t get your scissors out just yet. You need to prepare your attack: secure your stitches first to avoid the rest of your work unravelling. Steeking is usually done in circular knitting. It’s said to be very useful to get your armholes right in fair-isle work, or for turning a knit-in-the-round...

How to knit intarsia in the round

When you try to find information about knitting intarsia in the round on the internet, most of the time you’ll be told that it’s not possible. The big problem when you try to do it: your yarn ends up at the end of your row, while you need it to be at the beginning. If you don’t like bending the...

It’s going to be Legen – wait for it – dary! – Free knitting chart

Any of you watch How I met your mother? I didn’t know the show at all until a couple of months ago. But then, from one day to the other, I was hooked. My husband and I watched all 6 series in just a few weeks time. And we’re very much looking forward to the next season! Our favourite is...

Socks and stripes

Self-striping yarn. Have you used it for projects? Do you like it? I’ve started to love it! The first time I read about it was in a The knitting circle, a novel by Ann Hood. In this novel, a woman named Mary learns to knit to find comfort after her daughter died. In her knitting circle, Mary learns to knit...
