Toulouse Pullover
Just a short and sweet post, as I am excited to tell you I finished knitting another sweater! This is the Toulouse Pullover from the Knitscene winter 2012 edition. I fell in love with the style while browsing through my sister's copy of the magazine, so I decided I had to make it. One E-magazine…
Read MoreFinished object: Stash piece no. 1: Mathilde.
Mathilde blouse in black crepe de chine – such a lovely fabric to wear! I´ve finished my Mathilde! You know, that gorgeous blouse pattern Tilly just released. Before I say anything more, you should really read Karen´s post on this, as she captures my exact thoughts on this blouse much more eloquently than I could do myself.…
Read MoreThe act of getting dressed
Recently I watched a very interesting documentary about Diana Vreeland, the notorious editor-in-chief of Vogue in the 1960´s. She was an extremely influential and inspirational woman for many of today´s leading fashion houses, and if you haven´t seen the documentary, Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel, and you are just remotely interested in either…
Read MoreFinished Object: Stash Piece No. 5: The Wrap Top.
I have finished the first garment on my list! Or, to be more accurate, I ´ve finished the fifth garment on my list. I warned you, I might jump and not start at the very beginning (although my Mathilde blouse is already cut and interfaced and all ready to go). I´ve had this small piece…

Read MoreAlmost an outfit. Most definitely a Sewalong.
Just so you know, this post is lenghty. 🙂 What went wrong with this outfit? Can you spot what´s wrong with this outfit? (Except for the fact that it is in no way weather appropriate right now up here). No? Let me help you: The shirt So. Most everything that could go…
Read MoreAidez.
More or less one year after I started it, I finished the chunky and cabled cardigan Aidez designed by Cirilia Rose. With 2551 finished projects in Ravelry´s database, this is one POPULAR cardigan. This is my first major cabled project, I have knitted some mittens and stuff with smaller patches of cables, but this one consists mainly of cables.…
Read MoreThe Christmas Dress, or and update on the Blue Velvet Dress.
Do you remember the navy blue velvet dress I was about to make back in …ehem…September? Well, turns out, Vogue 8280 wasn´t really for me. Because this was a style of dress I hadn´t tried out before, I decided to make a trial dress. A wearable muslin if you will. The pattern was great, and…
