Sokken met hartjespatroon

’t Is redelijk officieel: ik ben verslaafd aan sokken breien. Ik maak ze graag, en ik draag ze graag. Ze passen zo veel beter dan de sokken die je in de winkel koopt. En ze zijn heel handig om mee te nemen op de trein: klein, compact, en je steekt je medereizigers niet in de ribben met je lange naalden....

Baby booties

Friends of ours recently had a baby, little Alison. To honour this new life, they had a baby shower last Sunday. About a week before that, I suddenly thought of making a little present for Alison myself, instead of only going for a registered present. I found the pattern for Saartje’s booties on Ravelry and I still had some Phildar...

Musical hoodie

In the past, I haven’t always had the best of luck with my mp3 players. No matter how careful I was, for some reason they would always end up at the bottom of my bag on those days that I put heavy stuff in it. I racked one by dropping a flask on it, for instance. I took revenge, though,...

Birthday socks

My granddad turned 80 years old yesterday. Happy birthday to him! Of course I paid him a visit, and I ate more cake and waffles than I should have done. But they were good! As a present, I knitted him some personal birthday socks. Since we call him ‘pepe Fons’, I made him socks that said just that. And I...

Tip toes

Am I still in time to wish everybody a happy new year? I’m sorry I didn’t post my best wishes for everyone any sooner, but it’s been a very busy time. Now, these socks have been finished for a couple of weeks now. Just like my new year’s wished, I should have posted these toe socks earlier already, but I...

Biker boy cardigan

There goes my first cardigan! I’m very pleased with the result, it looks great, if I say so myself. I’m convinced my husband will actually wear it more than the one obligatory time. So that is one marriage saved! What I likedIt’s a plain stockinette stitch. I know a lot of people are put off by projects like that because...

Tip toes

I’ve always wanted toe socks, and now I finally have a pattern for them, woot! I’ve already knitted 5 toes, I’m amazed by myself. When I see my toes lined up like that, they seem to be very long. And in Dutch, that means you’re easily offended… Oh well, they’ll fit. And if not, I can turn them into kids...

Lucha libre balaclava

Last Sunday, my friend Reinout celebrated his birthday. As a present, he wanted to have a balaclava. Given the low temperatures and snow we had here lately, that wasn’t so bad an idea. So I got out my knitting needles, took out Debbie Stoller’s Son of Stitch ’n Bitch and started working the Lucha Libre balaclava. What I liked about...

Truienvloek

Kennen jullie de truienvloek? Volgens die vloek, word je gegarandeerd gedumpt door je vriendje als je het riskeert hem een trui te breien. Klinkt zwaar, niet? Stof tot nadenken. Een tijdje geleden kocht ik Debbie Stollers Son of Stitch ’n Bitch, en het werd stilaan ’s tijd om daar iets uit te breien. Iets voor manlief dus, iets dat hij...

Edward Cullen tas – Hoe maak je je eigen breischema plus gratis download

Mijn vriendin Karmen gaf een groot verjaardagsfeest begin oktober, samen met vrienden. Thema: Twilight. Haar favoriet karakter: Edward Cullen. Dus ik dacht, ik brei haar iets. Ik moest direct aan het Poster boy patroon denken dat je in Debbie Stoller’s Stitch ’n Bitch Nation kan vinden. En niets beter dan een Edward foto erop, toch? Dus ik startte mijn zoektocht...
