I have been knitting the last 18 days as me husband was in hospital, followed by therapy sessions - and as he was not allowed to drive I spent many an hour to wait for him. Not only had these two items done, I also got many nice comments sitting in the wa
I tried to make a dent in a large bin of old jeans. So I sewed a number of bags. Took a leaf out of Toogie's book and put on some labels, as an afterthought. Next time I'll do them as appliqués before I sew the lot together. My help saw them
The top one I showed some time ago. I liked the pattern and knitted two more. The bottom one is made from leftovers from a sweater I knitted for one of my daughters back in 1985 (!).
Some days you'd better read a book than do anything else. In my drawer a tiny baby item had been waiting patiently to be saved: there was a small hole due to a mishap. So - I decided to embroider a small giraffe head that was on my Brother 190D ove
Done some more stash reducing. * Started with a green sweater for the older brother of the boy that got the first green one - by machine except for the ribbing. * Then I knitted the yellow one. I used a Drops design pattern, but instead of colour
I have not touched my sewing/embroidery machine for months but I did knit quite a few things. The cardigan has got buttons now, the baby socks still need a cord or ribbon.All but one are hand knitted. I find that so relaxing. I especially love th
Knitted another jumper as well. These old eyes don't particularly like dark colours, but there's a lot of blue left... I like to knit two sleeves at the same time and I like to knit in the round. Which meant I had to choose between knitting t
Tried to reduce my stash again and made a two corner poncho using the virus (without granny this time) design. I used two machine knitting yarns together and mix the colours a bit. I wonder how long this one will be mine, The three I made earlier found
In the past I showed you a few of the ganseys I knitted - see picture for 2 of them. I followed my grannies' ideas and kept to the tradition of Scheveningen. I got an email announcing an American book on the subject. see link. There was something n
After watching some very creative and artsy raw edge applique videos I decided to make a card following the same principles. I learned a thing or two and did not like the idea of cutting it to size. I think I might turn it into a mug rug, it has just the
Looking for some thicker yarn I found an almost finished back panel for a sweater. My children did not like the feel of the yarn, so it slumbered in a bag with the rest of the yarn for at least 30 (!) years. see picture #1. I had no pattern (made it up
During my trip to France we covered quite a few kilometres in the coach. I crocheted another Virus meets Granny Square shawl, this time in blue. Made several balls of 2 strands of yarn before we went away - which reduced my almost inexhaustible stash a bi
I was away to France for a week with our regional prehistoric society, called DPV. Off the beaten track: dolmen, cave paintings, digs. For the 2 board members who had arranged the trip (and did a lot of work during our activities) I made a small pres
Made some small pouches as well. The (recycled) denim started as a 7" square, the other two as a 9" square of upholstery fabric. Those were unlined and have rather raw edges. The denim ones have a thin quilted lining. I decorated the on my sewing mac
