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 …

Butterick B5895 and Untangling Knots Hetty
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 …
A Winter Hat
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 …
Warm Feet
There’s nothing I appreciate more in winter than having warm and dry feet. It’s the time of the year that I go back to thinking about hand knitted socks and regret having just a few pairs. After knitting a pair of Van Dyke socks for my mother, I new I …
Another Lady Skater Dress and a new cardigan
During Me Made May, making the effort of wearing many different garments will teach you why you never wear some of them. But if you’re lazy like me, you’ll recognize a pattern and may even find your uniform. We are just over two thirds of the month, and I’m almost …
Completed: Bea Headband
I’ve knitted this piece last weekend. It was quite a fast knit and I used just 32 grams of Cascade 220, left from my Chuck sweater. I think the pattern was a bit pricey for an accessory, but result is quite cute. I used 4.5 mm needles and I could …
Completed: Chuck Sweater
I wanted to knit Chuck for a very long time and Andi’s Selfish Sweater Kal was the perfect occasion for it. I like Andi’s designs, and this sweater fitted perfectly into my plans for this year. I went for size XS, as usual with Untangling Knots and I used 4.5 …
Completed: Armande
According to my notes I started this project in March and finished it yesterday. I’m not normally a slow knitter, but this year I took a long break from the needles due to health issues. The cardigan was finished about a month before Christmas, but I’m a disaster to sew …
Completed: Another Owls Sweater
This sweater was one of the victims of this year’s incidents. First, this wool started as an Aiken, but after knitting most of the sweater I discovered that I didn’t have enough wool (ugh), so I unravelled it and started this owls. What can go wrong with an owls sweater? …
Fall plans: Coziness and stashbusting
Summer came and went fast and my knitting and sewing plans more or less fell into pieces. I stopped knitting to make sure wool was not causing the eczema on my hands. Anyway, I was not very motivated at all to invest time doing things that I enjoy. I preferred …
