Last year Yarnissima introduced me to the patterns with traveling stitches with her free pattern “Firestarter” I like the twisted patterns so much I was looking for more inspiration. So I bought the little books “Uberlieferte Strickmunster aus dem Steirischen Enstall” by Maria Erlbacher. Lots of traditional patterns, easy knitted or real complex are collected [...]

Unsatisfied!
The last days I was working on a sock design.
I have frogged the sock, as a perfectionist I was unsatisfied of the result.
Why? I don’t know yet - it just doesn’t feel right.

A pair of simple stylish fingerless gloves for Veer’s 22th birthday, specially made to keep her long and slender hands warm when walking with the buggy this winter. I used the ”Pieken & Dalen” pattern as a concept for these gloves.
Gisteravond zijn we even bij Veer op bezoek geweest voor haar 22e verjaardag. Naast de door [...]

Another sockpattern from the Knitalong of the Dutch group “Sokken Breien”, this time designed by Lieke. A lovely pattern easy to knit, great effect! A technique, one I never used before, is the “afterthough heel”. I liked making this one, it fits great with a selfstriping yarn.
In Rotterdam I bought a Knit Picks fixed nickel plated [...]

How a yarn handspun in the grease at fingering weight turned out to become bulky …
Use your imagination, this tale is too difficult to to tell for me in English ;-)
