but you won;t be able to tell. I just finished it a few minutes ago and scheduled the photo session for tomorrow. This is a picture from earlier today. I decided to do straight line quilting – it’s a little questionable whether they are straight or not – about an inch apart. When I took … More pink quilt done
Last week we had some break from June Gloom (this week it’s back) and the beaches were getting full. There were so many umbrellas of different shapes and colors, I wished I could see the beach from above. That was the inspiration for making these: Initially I made a template for the trianges out of … More there has been some serious sewing going on here
I have not done any quilting in a long, long time. But as I was thinking of a gift for Luka’s teacher, I thought, well a quilt could be nice. After a few sketches and several versions, I decided to do a pillow, with all the kids’ names in the middle of each block. I … More quilting again?
[svgallery name=”blue_jacket”] I drew up a pattern for this sweater last summer, beginning of August I believe. I started working on it right away, and then I just dropped it. And it was sitting there, next to the couch for a few months until I decided… well, before I can start a new project I … More short sleeve jacket
I liked the idea of knitting ruffles. It takes some time, but I really like the results.

The yarn is upcycled from an old sweater – hardly worn at … More knitting ruffles
I made these for Luka’s teachers – the middle one is for his classroom teacher and the other two for the teacher’s assistants. As always, I did these last minute so I had time only for Luka’s teachers – Sven’s teachers received nicely wrapped candy. What can you do!
[svgallery name=”daph”] I finished this a while back but then it was just sitting on my desk, waiting to be photographed and blogged about. This was designed completely from scratch – from idea, to drawing to knitting. My first! And I am quite satisfied how it turned out. I used yarn I bought some time … More Daph sleeveless dress
There will be 11 of us in our house over the holidays, including 5 kids, 5 years and under (I know it’s crazy, but for the record, it wasn;t my idea!). I had one nice stocking with Luka’s name on it, so I needed 4 more. I wanted to make Luka one too, so they … More new christmas stockings
[svgallery name=”vest_brown”] I made this west some time ago from a pattern in Japanese, and said I would post the translation of the pattern but did not have time until now. The original pattern is from Pierrot (free download here). I made this vest in original size (which I think corresponds to size 3T – … More free knitting pattern – boy’s vest
I need labels for my items. I looked around some time ago, but I was not really happy with any of the services (printed or woven labels) – especially given the fact that the min orders are huge (what if I don’t like how they look, feel?). I saw some diy labels on different blogs, … More DIY fabric labels
