It’s really been ages since I last blogged. Sorry! Lately things have been quite busy here, but not too busy to do some knitting, especially socks and now I need to show all of them off. Here are my lovely Laurelhurst socks in purple and black with always 2 rows per stripe. The pattern is [...]

Snow-white rose-red socks
Posted in Drawings, knitting, pattern, self made..., Whatever on April 13, 2012 | 5 Comments »
Finished another pair of beaded socks today. They were fun and really easy to knit and are also quite comfy to wear. As usual I used 2,5mm (US1 I think) needles. The yarn is a stretchy sock yarn in pure white called Lana grossa Meilenweit 100 Cotton Stretch. The beads are Rayher Rocailles transp. gelüstert [...]
Heimatlos and some more

Today I finally cataloged the group recording of “Heimatlos - Geschichten fuer Kinder und auch fuer solche, welche die Kinder lieb haben” (roughly translated: Homeless – Stories for kids and also for those, who love them) by Johanna Spyri. She probably is best known for “Heidi”, but I love her other books too and will [...]
Bead Socks
Posted in knitting, pattern, self made..., Whatever on April 9, 2012 | 1 Comment »
As promised here is the pattern for my bead socks. For the socks I used 2,5 needles (US1 I think), my fav. sock yarn (Lana grossa Meilenweit 100 Cotton Stretch) and of course matching beads (Rocailles 2,6 mm opak gelüstert gemischt.) Before starting to knit put the beads on your yarn. If you do it [...]
Happy Easter!

Only a short post today (as usual ) to wish you all Happy Easter! …and to show off the pair of knit socks I made. It’s the first time I worked with beads and I think they turned out wonderfully. I’ll do a proper post with details on how I knit them soon. The only [...]
Squares, Squares, Squares…

Just a tiny short post to show off my new knitting project. After eyeing the pattern on rav. for a couple of days, I started it on the spur of the moment last Thursday while watching a movie called “Kokowääh“. (The movie was amazingly good and superfun, btw). It’s a going to be a wonderful [...]
Super Mario & Goomba Mittens and some more…
Posted in knitting, pattern, self made..., Whatever on February 29, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Today I finally finished a pair of mittens for K. Yay, me! He has been nagging for a little over a year to knit him Goomba mittens to go with his Goomba Hat. Originally he wanted one with a “healthy” Goomba (like the one I did on the left) and one with a squished Goomba, [...]
Red Hat

As it’s SO cold here, I just had to knit a hat for myself too. The pattern is out of a lovely book called “Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders: 101 Patterns That Go Way Beyond Socks“… at least I think it is. I noted it down so long ago, that I can’t really remember where I [...]
Simple Cabled Hat
Posted in knitting, pattern, personal, self made..., Whatever on January 16, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Today I finished knitting a rather simple cabled hat for mum. I used size 6 (US 10) needles and the yarn is Lana Grossa Uno (1 1/2 skeins). Though the yarn looks great, feels wonderfully soft and awesome to wear, it is a real pain to knit with. Still I love how the hat turned [...]
Waves Cardigan

Just a tiny short post to show of my finished cardigan: Waves Cardigan Isn’t it pretty? I finished it yesterday and just love how it turned out. Also it fits perfectly. It will be fun to wear it over short sleeved shirts in spring. Right now it’s a little too chilly for that… Anyway, I [...]
