Falling behind

December 5, 2016 Elena Knitsmoody, Thoughts, Uncategorized

The other day one of my acquaintances in Facebook brought this article to my attention: To anyone who thinks they are falling behind in life And it was a revelation. I wanted to update this blog with sewing news since the summer, but… life happened. First we lost Daisy, then …

Burdastyle Baseball Jacket

June 22, 2016 Elena KnitsFinished object, Sewing, stashbusting, Uncategorized

I wanted to have a baseball jacked since like forever, but I had to search for months for the perfect pattern. I didn’t like the neckline of the Papercut Rigel Bomber, and I also didn’t want raglan sleeves (i usually don’t like the look of them). But at the beginning …

Gertie’s Knit Pencil Skirt

June 20, 2016 Elena KnitsFinished object, Sewing, stashbusting

I completed this project almost two months ago, taken pictures shortly after but didn’t have time to blog about it. Life is so busy lately that sometimes I would like to sleep for days in a row. Work is freacking crazy right now, and we have Daisy at the vet …

Why I’m not (officially) participating in Me Made May (MMM)

May 1, 2016 Elena KnitsKnitting, Me-Made-May, MeMadeMay, Sewing, Thoughts

The answer is easy: because I’m already wearing me made clothes everyday and for me MMM is an exercise to try and wear handmade clothes and find the gaps in one’s wardrobe. Then you have to add the hassle of taking daily pics and feeling guilty about repeating clothes. I don’t …

Second Carolyn Bottoms

April 6, 2016 Elena KnitsFinished object, Sewing, Uncategorized

Since I made my first pair of Carolyn pajama bottoms I’ve been living in them. I often work from home, and they became my daily uniform. It was frustrating waiting for them to be ready after the wash, so I needed to make a second pair. I apologize for the …

A Winter Hat

March 29, 2016 Elena KnitsFinished object, Knitting

Just before Christmas I lost one of my two knitted hats, leaving me with the one I never wore because it was itchy on my skin. Since it was cold, I made a fleece hat this January, but I still missed having a knitted hat. I was worried about what …

Never underestimate the gauge

March 28, 2016 Elena KnitsKnitting, Uncategorized

The Easter break is a bit longer here in Spain than in other countries, with Thursday and Friday off. I spent those two days and Saturday morning with a light migraine, but I was still able to do some useful things, and one of them was swatching. I am not …

Astronaut T-shirt

February 11, 2016 Elena KnitsFinished object, Lovebirds, Sewing, stashbusting, Uncategorized

After my first Maria Denmark’s Kristen Kimono Tee I knew this pattern was perfect to showcase this fabric I purchased during Christmas 2014. I made this top last May, but shortly afterwards we lost Gerry and I didn’t have the heart to look at the pictures and publish them on …

SBCC Tonic 2

February 8, 2016 Elena KnitsFinished object, Sewing

I wanted to try this pattern for a while since the fit is quite similar to the long sleeved t-shirts I wear in winter, and I didn’t want the Renfrew top cuff and waist bands (yes, I could remove them but I felt lazy and the Tonic tee is a …
