Knitting: Towel
This scrap buster towel requires some planning before you start, but is definitely fun to knit. The more colors you have the more it keeps changing and it’s interesting to see how colors work together.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Trying to keep heating costs low is good against climate change and saves money too. Sitting still behind a keyboard or laptop for too long can make you feel cold though. These mittens keep your wrists, hands and fingers warm and flexible while you’re working.
Knitting: Cowl
I knitted this cowl with pure wool so it’s warm and resilient. You can keep pulling it over your head without it getting any wider.
Knitting: Pullover
This sweater is easy to knit and warm to wear. It is made of 100% merino tweed yarn with an irregular texture. The design is simple: short and straight. It is knitted from the top downwards and can be lengthened easily.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
A warm yet airy and elegant scarf. That’s what I needed when I made a long sleeved dress with a rather low neckline.
Knitting: Scarf
After knitting a cardigan I had enough soft and warm yarn left for a circular scarf. I like scarfs to have two identical sides so I designed this moebius model in a reversible lace pattern.
Knitting: Cowl
This pure woolen cowl is a mix of two solid colors and a multicolor yarn. It’s designed in stitch patterns that are reversible so there’s no right or wrong side.
Knitting: Earflap Hat
Pure wool with large earflaps and elongated neckline. This must be the hat to keep your child’s head warm in winter.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
After several patterns for grown-ups I finally designed a pattern for fingerless mittens for children. My daugther really wanted a pair too.
Knitting: Cowl
One ball of self striping wool and a girl with a cold neck. Not knowing how far I could get, I started knitting a cowl topdown increasing the amount of stitches along the way.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Mixing self striping yarn with other is interesting. Particularly when the other yarn is self striping too. For this hat I mixed two skeins of the same brand and type. It worked out beautifully.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
With just one skein of this beautifully heather colored wool I figured I could make a beanie. But what if it wasn’t enough? According to the label it only measured 79 m / 87 yd.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Fingerless mitts on needles 5 (US 8). I designed the stitch after figuring out how many stitches would be needed. It worked out well.
Knitting: Cowl
What to do with one single leftover skein of pink mohair? I added three red counterparts to it and designed this loop scarf. It was fun and it worked out well.
Knitting: Bag - Other
A while ago I lost my pencil case and recently I had some pretty colorful yarn to reuse. I turned into this simple small pouch, playing around with knits and purls to add a little flavor of my own.
Knitting: Cowl
I knitted this cowl with pure wool so it’s warm and resilient. You can keep pulling it over your head without it getting any wider.
Knitting: Towel
Triangles, squares and circles are the theme of these three kitchen towels. They’re easy and fun to make. All it takes is knitting, purling and keeping an eye on the pattern.
Knitting: Electronics Cozy
So many smart phones, so many sizes. Therefore I decided to design a phone sleeve that stretches well to fit many phones. The length is easily adjustable. Use a stretchy yarn like pure wool.
Knitting: Potholder
Easy knitting: just a knit and a purl and not too big a project. That’s what I aimed at designing these four patterns for potholders. By using double yarn it looks quite interesting.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Keep your hands elegantly warm and still use your fingers.
Knitting: Scarf
This is a scarf to really enjoy on cold winter days. It has a nice width and it’s long enough to throw around the neck twice if you want to.
Knitting: Cowl
The multicolored merino was lying next to some wool mohair in different colors in my stash. It was a perfect combination. Given the amount of merino I decided to knit a buttoned cowl, developing the pattern along the way. The result is so great that I want share with you what I did.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Keep your hands warm and still use your fingers.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Having six mini skeins of handspun yarn in my stash I developed a pair of fingerless mittens with an irregular stripe. It took me a while to figure out an agreeable pattern, but I like the result. Of course you can replace the colors to get any different effect.
Knitting: Electronics Cozy
To keep my laptop safe and sound I knitted a stash of super bulky wool into this sleeve.
Knitting: Cardigan
This almost sleeveless cropped cardigan was inspired by the girls bolero I made earlier. I love the shape of the neck and the sleeve.
Knitting: Scarf
This scarf is made with different combinations of knit and purled stitches combined with some lace stitches. I designed it in such a way that that both sides are exactly the same.
Knitting: Shrug / Bolero
I made this almost sleeveless bolero for my favorite girl. She loves the extreme softness of it so much that I get a lot of cuddles in return.
Knitting: Cardigan
This cardigan is easy, warm and elegant. It is made of super bulky yarn and there is no more knowledge required than to knit, increase and decrease. The design is simple yet feminine.
Knitting: Cuffs
Stout and truly warm and yet in a friendly green color. These wrist warmers you wear outdoors or in, when you are sitting still for example working at your computer.

These fingerless gloves are designed in a double rib stitch and made of pure wool so they stretch and fit both small and larger hands. The rib pattern is continued carefully in the connection of the thumb.
