Happy Halloween!

October 31, 2020 elenaknitsCosplay, Finished object, Sewing

Making a Doctor Plague Mask was something that has been in the back of my mind for already some time, and this year due to COVID, and having read more about these characters, their function, and their masks, I thought about this project again, but without a clear plan. Even …

Completed: Cunningham Falls Sweater

September 17, 2020 elenaknitsFinished object, Knitting

I began this project in November 2016. Kristen Jancuk (MediaMeruana Designs) needed testers, not for an FO but for a WIP, so I didn’t need to hurry the completion of this project. In my mind, it took forever, but checking my photos, I see that it was completed in February …

A Travel Bag for the Birds

January 16, 2017 elenaknitsFamily, Finished object, Gouldian Finches, Lovebirds, Sewing

I’m not a Xmas person, but this is one of the two times of the year that I visit my family and friends. I usually travel with the birds, since the cost of a plane ticket plus the bird residence is a bit more expensive than just renting a car …

Another Reversible Zippy Hoodie for Paula

January 2, 2017 elenaknitsFamily, Finished object, Sewing

It’s become a tradition in the last three years that I make a Kitschycoo Reversible Zippy Hoodie for Paula’s birthday on December 13th. I’m never there at that moment, but I always bring it with me when I visit for Christmas. This time I chose a Gorjuss fabric from Con …

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 …

OMG, when was the last time that I posted a finished project here? I have some to show you that I finished about last month but I’ve been too busy to blog about it. Pictures were taken almost four weeks ago but stayed in my hard drive until now just …

Tutorial: Lekala Underwear for Men (#6134)

April 25, 2016 elenaknitsFinished object, Sewing, Tutorials, Underwear

I already spoke about this pattern in the past. My boyfriend is picky with his underwear, and can’t have anything strangling the family jewels. After looking here and there for a pattern that would suit him (I like the Comox Trunks from Thread Theory, but that was a no no …

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 …
