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 …

New Year, New Site

January 1, 2017 elenaknitsKnitting, Lovebirds, Sewing, Thoughts

Happy 2017! You’ve probably arrived here from my old site at WordPress.com. I know that my old blog has been quite dead for some time, and since I’ve been experimenting with self-hosted WordPress for my other site about Audiobook Reviews, I decided to move my crafting blog here too. I had …

May 20, 2016 Elena KnitsFinished object, Gertie, Knitting, Lovebirds, Photography, Sewing, Uncategorized

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 …

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 …

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 …

Warm Feet

February 2, 2016 Elena KnitsFinished object, Knitting, Socks

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 …

Watching time, knitting time

October 21, 2015 Elena KnitsKnitting, TV shows

You all know how addicted I am to TV shows. As I work from home, I have lunch alone so I always watch something to keep me company. Fall marks the start of the cold season in the Northern hemisphere, but also the coming back of many shows. Anyway, I …

Fall and winter plans

October 8, 2015 Elena KnitsKnitting, Lovebirds, Sewing

We finally signed the contract for the new apartment this Monday, I suddenly started sleeping fine again, and I found my fingers itching to start making things. I took the little time I had to read sewing and knitting blogs and I have my head full of projects to complete …

Another Lady Skater Dress and a new cardigan

May 22, 2015 Elena KnitsFinished object, Gerry, Knitting, Sewing

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 …
