New sweater finally finished, it’s from a Sandnes pattern made with Tynn Line. Happy I got it finished this season.

Two socks are better than one. Duckies finally finished. Trick to getting them done: knitting on the subway.

Something has happened in the production of this sweater, because the raglan «seam» is much longer than on my previous version. I kinda like it though, so happy with a new woolen make, just in time for 11C degrees and a rainy Berlin day.

First culling: a ModCloth romper I bought only a couple of months ago, when visiting NY. Unfortunately, this has shrunk a ton in the wash and is unusable as is. I will try and salvage the fabric by cutting it in two, and make a top and a pair of shorts.

Project no. 2

This is a pillow cover in a traditional Delsbo pattern. Delsbo is a Swedish tradition where the pattern comes together by embroidering with long strands of floss on the right side, and leaving nearly no mark on the back.

The technique usually calls for red cotton floss, but I am using more than one color and wool floss, since that is what I have laying around. I bought this light wool floss at a viking market a million years ago, I actually believe it’s Russian. The quality is excellent, by the way.

I am remodelling my craft room/office, and want all the pillows to be in different crafts I have taught myself through the years.
