Today I picked up my Northeasterly that I started in 2020. I only knitted a part of the forst row and then I pit it away. But for scrappy sunday it’s nice to work on this project again😃.

Yess, ik mag eindelijk mijn project delen dat ik ontworpen heb voor @yarnandcolors . Deze projectbag met thema Granny square maakte ik in een cremekleurige variant voor het lookbook van juni. @victoriatekloese haakte de bruine combinatie als test. Ik ben heel erg benieuwd wat jullie van het resultaat vinden😃.

Yess I can finally show you the result of the projectbag I designed for @yarnandcolors with the granny square theme for their lookbook of June. I made a cream colored one and Victoria @victoriatekloese made the brown one as a test. I’m very happy with the results. What do you think of it?.

Yesterday I was searching in my atelier for some older WIP’s, and then I found this top. I totally forgot this one 🙈. It used to happen to me a lot. Summer or winter is over and all not finished projects for the season stay behind.
But since this year I try to do things differently. Before I can start a new project, another one must be finished first. And I have to finish an old WIP too. That should be easy with this one, I only have to make the Icord bind-off around the armholes😃.

Inspired by the granny square blanket from @it.is.

Inspired by the granny square blanket from @it.is.a.sarah , I started this colorful blanket. I used only yarn from my stash, all multicolored yarncakes in acrylic from #actionnederland and allthough I’n not so crazy about acrylic yarns anynore, I really like the results so far😃.

A couple of weeks ago I bought this yarn @wolmetverve. Sylvia painted it specially for Ukraine, and she donated the profit to giro 555, to support the people of Ukraine. I decided to make the Rocas shawl with the yarn. Every day I try to knit a few rows on this shawl. Feeling grateful that I have the possibility to do this. And thinking of all the people who have to fight for there lives. I hope this war will end soon and that they can start rebuilding the country😘💙💛.

I picked up my Queen blanket again. I left it in a bag for a long time. This year I will try to finnish at least 10 old projects as part of my #makenine2022 list. I use my #heerlijkhandwerkhalfuurtje for those old projects and this is the 5th old project😃.

In spring 2021 I bought a nice package of mini’s from @Westyarn . I didn’t know what to make of it untril the book 52 weeks of shawls arrived. Then the search for the basic yarn started. Everything fell into place when the Hakulei from @oliviaandoliverfibers came in. They are a perfect match for my shawl. And now the Rainbow road is finally on my needles😃.

Just a little knitting in the sunshine in the stud

Just a little knitting in the sunshine in the studiogarden before I have to start painting again😃. Only 2 weeks left of painting the pallets for the fence. I’m so glad it’s almost finished. Hihi but then another job needs to be done, still a lot of work in de studiogarden (see @cakesandpumps ). But still had enough time to knit or crochet in the evenings😉.

Heel even tijd om een beetje te breien aan de camisole voordat ik weer verder ga met schilderen. Dit is de een na laatste week om pallets te schilderen, ik ben blij als het klaar is. Hihi maar dan komt er wel weer een andere klus voorbij. Hier in de studiotuin is nog zoveel te doen (zie @cakesandpumps ).

Terrain tee is finished, so I can start something new. I bought some yarn last year for the Camisoleno2, but that one is bottom up. I love top down knitting more than bottomup knitting, because it’s easier to fit and to decide how long I will make the top. So no4 seems a better option to knit for now. And when this one is finished I can always knit the no 2 😃.

My terrain tee is finished, it’s made of cotton, and feels so soft😍. I made some cchanges to the pattern. I didn’t wanted it to be so long so I skipped 16 rows in the second part. And i prefer to knit in the round, so I knitted the front and the bag parts on one needle, with 4 stitches less in total. The final result is the same as the original, but without the sewing😉.

|Scrappysunday| My Dare to Square scrappyblanket i

|Scrappysunday| My Dare to Square scrappyblanket is almost finished. Only an Icordborder and then writing down the pattern. I love making scrappyblankets like the Northeasterly. It inspired me to make my own pattern. Mine is a mix with yarn from my stash and new yarn, all fingering weight. I made 130 squares which are knitted together on the go. But if you want to make a smaller blanket, just knit less squares. And you can use whatever yarn you want, but it has the be the same weight for the whole blanket. So only fingering, only Dk etc. .
