December 31, 2014 Elena KnitsKnitting

Starting to cast on a few days late, I couldn’t miss participating in the Selfish Sweater KAL. Just before Christmas I bought this red Cascade 220 to make a Chuck sweater and some days later, Andi announced this KAL, so the timing couldn’t be better. I wanted to make Chuck …

December 4, 2014 Elena Knits1940s, Finished object, Gerry, Sewing

I’ve been looking for some time for the perfect pattern to make a 40’s style blouse. I secretly (and not so secretly) admired Liz and Tasha‘s blouses and I wanted to make something like this. Last year, for the Fall for Cotton, I modified a pattern, and after lots of …

Serging my way to neat edges

December 2, 2014 Elena KnitsGerry, Koen, moody, Sewing

Please excuse the bad quality pictures, but my mobile camera doesn’t behave in low light conditions. Same as Gerry, just that he does it in any light conditions. My birthday this year was nothing special, there was nothing to remember and some things to forget (like a gastroenteritis), we didn’t …
