With the #mkal2022 being here in 3 weeks, I try to finish some wips. Only with a few wedges to go, I ffound out that 2 skeins of Haku Lei from @oliviaandoliverfibers was not enough. Lucky for me she still dyes them so today a new skein arrived😃. I’m off knitting….. happy weekend😘.

And then I’m already on sleeve island. In summer I like it more to work with cotton than with wool. And this cardigan works fine with cotton too. What do you prefer to work with in Summer, cotton, wool or something else?

This yellow Remicamisole was coming along nicely, until I lost the yarn chicken. A few days later only 3 rows left to knit, but no yarn in my vacationbag🙈. Lucky for me I knew I had more of this color at home.

Back from a great vacation with a lot of knitting😃. After two years of postponing it we could finally fly to Curacao. We just relaxed on the beach, near the swimmingpool, outside our cabin. And for the first time I took my knitting and crochet projects everywhere. I started the Cecile top and Kunulus tee already at home, so I could knit in the airplane. I started this Remi Camisole there, together with the The top (you can find ir on @okariconcepts ).

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?.

I finished this sweater last year, but didn’t make a picture of it. And since I try to finish my ‘handwerk boek’ (my craft journal), There must be a picture of this sweater in my journal. It’s my first handknitted sweater. It’s way too big, but hey it’s warm, so I can wear it in the house. And I love the color combination😃.

My home camisole when it still looked like a little bikinitop. I think today is one of the last days to wear our summer tops. But I’m sitting inside for work, so that’s a little too cold. All my tops from vacation are finished. I only need to make some photos of them being finished🙈.
And then start of the autumn projects.

Last weekend we went camping with our family in the garden kf my mother in law. We try to do that every year in september. It was a very relaxed weekend and I had a lot of time to knit. So I started with the Shima shawl. Very happy with how it turned out with my colors so far😃.

The Shima Shawl KAL starts today and these are my colors. The Shima Shawl is a design from @beatricemase and the KAL is hosted by @domi_victoine_ , @des_mailles_et_moi and @lainepoudree and everything is in French. Lucky for me the pattern is also available in English, because my French is a little bit rusty😉. The yarn I’m using is from my webshop and exists of 55% wool and 45% cotton, so it’s a nice transition from summer to more autumn knits😃.
