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 [...]

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 [...]
My red convertible mittens

Today I finished my red convertible mittens and they turned quite well, though I’m not yet sure I’ll be wearing them much. Usually I prefer fingerless mittens as they let me use my ipod quite comfortably. But the weather is definitely getting too cold for those and so I just had to try convertible ones [...]

Just a tiny little post today to show off my Blackrose mittens: Blackrose Mittens They turned out really well, are great to wear and look simply amazing. It’s the same pattern I already used for the socks I blogged about in my previous post. There is only one thing I’d do differently… that is, should [...]
More knit socks and some poetry

Today I finally finished the pair of socks, I started to knit last month during a 4 hour train ride to V. to attend a congress there. That’s why I’m calling them by the terribly creative name “Train- Socks”. The pattern looks quite complicated and intricate but was supereasy and fun to knit. In fact [...]

I made these hats for this year’s big “Innocent Smoothie Hat Knitting”: http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/bigknit/get_knitting/inde… Innocent Smoothie Hats Basically it’s a kind of charity thing… each sold smoothie, that is wearing a hat, brings a donation of 30 Cents.

At the moment I’m down with a nasty cold and more or less had to spend all week in bed. After feeling absolutely miserable for the first few days I’m somewhat better now and also rather bored. To make time pass faster I did a lot of knitting. I finished those 9 to 5 socks, [...]

And another post to show off yet another pair of knit socks: 9 to 5 socks The socks turned out absolutely wonderful and I just love how intricate the pattern looks, though it was actually easy to knit… after I figured out how to do those cables, that is. Also the socks are incredibly stretchy [...]
