Just so you know, this post is lenghty. đ 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 wrong, went wrong with this shirt. But – I have not given up. I will learn from my mistakes, and make another version, because I love the idea of this shirt. You see, this shirt has been in my mind for years. The most observant amongst you might recognize the pattern from Zoe´s…

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.

It was actually surprisingly easy!  The main reason for me using one year to finish this, was that between February 2012 and November 2012, I didn´t knit a stitch on it⌠Aidez teamed with some me-made lounge wear. The actual knitting…

Do you remember the navy blue velvet dress I was about to make back in âŚehemâŚSeptember? Well, turns out, Vogue 8280 wasn´t really for me.

Read MoreThis is just a little year-in-review from me. I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who reads this blog, and especially to all of you who take the time to comment. And I want to wish you all the best of times now that we are approaching the holiday season! Have fun and enjoy the holidays wherever you are! I´ve been wearing this skirt and cowl A LOT! I just love the little sparkle the yellow cowl gives any outfit on a dark winter day, and the skirt couldn´t be more cozy. Did you know that this blog has existed, in one form or another since…
Read MoreFirst of all, thank you all so much for the lovely comments on my last post, I am certain that my finger healed faster because of it!  And, Debbie, Stacy, Dilly, Kristin and Zoe were right, I went to Istanbul! I can truly recommend it. Glorious place. I am slowly getting back into my old habits of things, I wish I could have commented more on all of your blogs more frequently, but I can only say that you all have been making lots of great stuff! đ I´ll soon be back with some FO´s, but until that please head over to Rhinestones and Telephones where I wrote…

 Hi there! I´m Sølvi Elise. Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. This is a space where I share my craft projects and thoughts and ideas concerning handmade in a consumerist world.
I live in Oslo, Norway where I use my spare time stitching up my own wardrobe. So far, I´d say that 80 % of my closet is filled with me-mades. I also have an interest in historical sewing, embroidery, knitting, crochet, leatherwork, tablet weaving, rigid heddle loom- weaving, cocktails, jewelry making, makramÊ, shoe making, drawing, paper craft, machine knitting and generally any craft that looks like fun.
