Finished!

It’s been a while since I started this blanket, and it went in ups and downs, but now it’s finished: my Weekend in Stockholm throw. And I like it. Future heirloom. I lost count of the amount of series I saw while working on this. A lot. Conclusion: crocheting blankets are the best couch potato excuse. Time to start a...

Granny on

Remember these? I started them last summer, during our holiday in Normandy. Meanwhile, I’ve seen 4 seasons of Southland, the miniseries Pride and Prejudice (Colin Firth!) and a couple of episodes of Homeland and The walking dead. Converted to granny squares, that’s 44 done. Only 12 more to go. I love that I have a reason to be a couch...

Grannies in Normandy

Things have been pretty hectic here at home. We’re still in the middle of huge renovations, and will be for a while longer. Since we try to do most of it ourselves, we only have evenings and weekends to actually do something. And now that we have a brand new baby, most of the work is down to my hubby....

To infantity, and beyond!

At the beginning of May, I started knitting a Baby’s first tattoo cardigan from Debbie Stoller’s Stitch ‘n Bitch Nation. I used some of my stash yarn, and while knitting, I figured out quickly enough that I had plenty of green and not enough yellow. So I started adding stripes to make sure I would end up with a complete...

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...

Edward Cullen bag – How to make your own knitting chart plus free download

My friend Karmen threw a big birthday party at the beginning of October, together with some friends. Theme of the party: twilight. Her favourite: Edward Cullen. So I thought I’d knit her something up. My thoughts immediately went to the Poster boy pattern, which you can find in Debbie Stoller’s Stitch ‘n Bitch nation. And which better way to go...

Fluffy bunny slippers

Ever since I first learned how to crochet using Debbie Stoller’s Happy Hooker book, I’ve had my eye on this pattern. It just seemed a bit complicated, and I never found the courage to start them. But then, suddenly, there was this irresistable urge. I wanted to make the bunny slippers in pink, but unfortunately, I did not have enough...

Granny’s no square hand bag

A girl can never have enough bags. Nor shoes, for that matter, but that’s a different story.Feeling crochety, I thought I’d make myself one. Pattern of choice: Debbie Stoller‘s Granny no square handbag. Basically, you just need to crochet a number of so-called granny squares. I used the pattern described in Debbie’s book, but it goes without saying that you...

Kato monkey

Three weeks ago, our cosy little street welcomed a new inhabitant: Kato, the cutest baby girl in town. And cute little girls, need cute personalized cuddly toys, don’t they? I didn’t know what to make at first, but eventually I settled for another Phildar monkey. I already knew how to make these, so I was sure Kato wouldn’t end up with a...
