I do like stripes, but sometimes you have to shake things up a bit, don’t you think? This one was really fun to make. And I think it looks good too.

Curaçao :: More buildings
I know I did this before, but oh, Curaçao is full of beautiful old (and new) buildings and I love to take pictures of them.I actually planned to go on a bit of a photo walk and take pictures of some old homes we drive by a lot on our way to the beach, but…
52 hats :: 17 – more stripes
Working through my scraps, so stripes is pretty much all I can do. But I don’t mind. I like stripes 😉
Oh, no!
I never meant to stop blogging, but somehow it happened. These past two months were kind of weird. My husband had some health issues again, so we went through a lot of doctor visits and examinations. The last one was yesterday and we hope to hear next week whether or not he has a heart…
Not a mystery anymore
(warning: spoilers ahead. Don’t scroll down if you want to knit this as a mystery) I finished the MMKAL! Even though last week wasn’t the best week for knitting, I caught up. By Friday I finished the fourth clue before the epilogue came out. The epilogue was a fun story and the pattern was a…
Mystery knitting along
I’m still working on the MMKAL (Murder Mystery Knit Along). It’s really fun. It’s turning into something I’d never chosen to knit from a picture, but I even think I might use it every once in a while (I’m not really a shawl person). I learned some new techniques and stitches that I probably will…
47 – lots of candles and other facts
I was out of inspiration for blogposts, so I decided to google the number 47. Why? Well, as of today 47 is my answer to the question: “How old are you?”. I do know that it would make a lot of candles if we did the whole birthday cake with candles thing… It feels like…
So I improvised a cardigan
(affiliate link used) Well, I never intended to go into a blog silence for almost two weeks, but that ear infection was a bad one. The minimal amount of energy and concentration I could muster had to go into a big editing project (somebody else’s novel). I’m also really sorry for not answering the friendly…
Yarn Along :: look at that!
(affiliate links ahead) Well, that settles it. I’m definitely a one-project-girl. After I decided to focus on the cardigan while I make up my mind about the colors of the MKAL (I think I’m going to keep them), I got into a flow. And now… well, look at that: Finished the sleeves, added a bit…
52 hats :: 16 – Tweed stripes
Meet my new model. He and his girlfriend came from my daughter’s “workcloset” that is stuffed with her materials (she’s a make-up artist, but took several courses on hairdressing too). She was happy to part with them and I’m happy not having to take pictures of my own head anymore. Though I’m not sure I’ll…
