My red convertible mittens
Posted in audio, knitting, LibriVox, pattern, personal, self made... on December 4, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
Happy Halloween!

It’s such a pity that we don’t have a proper Halloween, with witches, ghosts, zombies, trick-or-treating and other fun stuff here. Still I had a wonderful time carving out this “beauty” for today’s party: My Jack O’Lantern Doesn’t he look great (though his teeth are crooked and in desperate need of braces )? He did [...]
Blackrose Mittens

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 [...]
Apple Pie :)

Just a quick post to show off the first ever real American apple pie I did. Baking it was amazingly easy and it took my only about 2 1/2 episodes of Futurama till it was save in the oven. (Thanks for the recipe, Kara!!! ) apple pie in progress I have to admit that I’m [...]

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, [...]
Smokey Wave Scarf
Posted in knitting, pattern, personal, self made..., Whatever on August 5, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Here is the scarf I finished a couple of days ago. I’m calling it smokey wave scarf ’cause with those different shades of gray it looks a little bit like swirling smoke. Smokey Wave Scarf The pattern is my own invention, though I guess I’m probably not the first to knit such a scarf. Anyway [...]
Knit Skirt

As I had the last 2 weeks off and didn’t go anywhere in particular, I finally had time to LV to my hearts content and to knit, knit, knit. Last week I finally finished my knit skirt and it turned out much better than expected, for I discovered halfway through that I should have used [...]
K’s Brain Slug Hat
Posted in knitting, pattern, personal, self made..., Whatever on July 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday I finished a project I’ve wanted to do for ages… well ever since I knit those brain slugs back in February or March. It’s one of those brain slugs (Futurama) attached to a very simple knit hat. The pattern for the hat is from “Knitting from the top down” by Barbara G. Walker. It [...]
