I didn’t have much time for crafting last week. But that’s okay. There was swimming, talking, laughing, reading and other good stuff instead. Last week’s list: / work on the cowl -> just a few rows. Need to concentrate a bit on the pattern. Not that it’s that hard to follow, but with D. here,…

Giant potholders (or: so maybe gauge does matter – a little bit)
I needed a simple and washable project to take with me to the house. So I decided to knit some potholders. I have been doing that the same way for years now.Just knit diagonal squares by casting on three stitches, make a stitch in the second stitch of every row until I have sixty stitches,…
A wavy scarf
It’s done! It feels so great to actually finish something again.Also, I forgot how hard it is to take acceptable pictures of a scarf unless you model it (but my face is not up to modelling today – believe me I tried). You’ll just have to take my word for it; it’s long enough to…
crafting on?
I picked up my crochet project for the first time in months and it seems I’m finally hooked again (unoriginal pun intended). I may even finish this scarf before the weather changes. (let’s just forget for a moment that when I started this I intended to get a headstart on making Christmas gifts for everyone…
Crafting on – startitis
Joining Nicole at Frontier Dreams today Since everybody seems to agree that it’s better for my hands to have more than one project going, I allowed myself a bit of startitis this weekend. This is the yarn I wanted to add to the blanket, but now it will be a sweater. I like the ribbing…
Granny stripes
Wel, I had such grand plans. It really was supposed to be a blanket.But it didn’t work out so well. Too little yarn (it was a bag of scraps). I intended to add some other yarn from my stash, but it didn’t feel right. It was the wrong color to go with the rest and…
Crafting on – sort of
I was typing something about being back, not sure where to go with it etc. but then I realized I’m a bit of a broken record about this. It’s not the first time this happened and I don’t think it will be the last time either. Maybe it’s time for me to just accept that…
Pillowcases
I still wasn’t done with the yarn the girls got me for Sinterklaas, so I finished the pillowcase I started last December and then I made another one. For the backs I made two white squares, one knit diagonally, one a big granny square. The rest of the yarn was made into squares for KAS….
Knitting too
It wasn’t just my sewing that came to a hold these past months, my knitting basket was left untouched too. I was working on things, but not much.That was my own fault. I wanted to knit a cardigan for my husband. The first was too small, so I frogged it. My own fault, I don’t…
In my knitting basket
This used to be my knitting basket, but the cat decided it’s his place to sleep and he’s not amused (understatement) when I try to get to my knitting.So I decided it was time to find myself a new basket. Not an easy task, since I needed something with a lid to prevent the cat…
