Some time ago, when Rachel of HouseOfPinheiro requested some testers for her new pattern I joined in without thinking about all the projects I had in mind and the little time I normally have. Because this dress is beautiful. With elegant lines that hug the body one can’t help but feel classy …

Testing for Andi again
Some time ago, Andi Satterlund showed us this gorgeous sweater which immediately caught my eye. Very recently she requested pattern testers for it and I didn’t mind that I needed to knit two baby cardigans, sew a hoodie for my niece or test a sewing pattern. I also didn’t mind that …
Completed: Calimero
I don’t know if you remember an old TV show for kids called Calimero. I confess I didn’t watch this during my childhood since the first series was too early for me and the second too late (I was already a teenager with other things in mind). But when Elizabeth …
Testing again
Here I am testing again. This will be a very cozy knit for Autumn and Winter and I’m sure you’ll need more than one. Elizabeth Brassard designed something so simple and wonderful at the same time that I couldn’t resist testing for her. The pattern will be available very soon.
Andi’s pattern ‘From A to Z’ is finally released!
As I’ve previously mentioned, testing for Andi from Untangling Knots was a real pleasure. The moment I’ve laid eyes on this cardigan I fell completely in love with it. With that retro look and imagining how good it could go with my dresses there was nothing else that I needed. …

The design is vintage and feminine, ideal for wearing with your favourite dresses during the cool spring and autumn days; …
Fails
Murphy’s law says that if there’s anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. And it definitely did this time. We were supposed to take a flight to Vigo yesterday at 5 pm, but after taking zillions of planes in our life, we miscalculated and missed our plane. We could change our tickets …
Intarsia
Whenever I go somewhere I have so many pictures and things to tell that I create loads of posts in my mind but nothing gets typed. Last weekend we were in Valencia and I still need to rescue some pictures from Koen’s phone to be able to show you my …
Starting the test
After a couple of months not knitting on a daily basis, today I’ve decided to start the pattern test for Andi. I received my wool this week and today we are leaving on a weekend trip to Valencia. The train there takes slightly longer than 90 minutes, so I think …
Testing for Andi
Just when I was about to start Miette by Andi Satterlund, she sends a request for test knitters. I know I’m busy with too many projects right now, but I desperately need to knit. Sewing is fun and it’s amazing how nice things can be made in no time, but …
