I was diving through my stash and searching for something interesting. I found apricot Mohair and an elegant shining grey yarn. I was surprised how well they look together. Immediately I took my needles and cast on. The pattern using stacked increases was creating on its own. The Stack’n go Cowl with wave-like stripes and foam peaks was born. T...

Brioche knitting is very fascinating for me. I worked some of the gorgeous patterns from Katrin Schubert.

This pattern is a colourful asymmetric triangular shawlette. One border is decorated with lacy leafs. The other side consists of squares in garter stitch. It begins with a big square.

Inspired by the yarn ‘Barking up a Tree’ from Lilliput Yarns I designed this shawlette. This hand-dyed yarn is a gift from overseas, Oregon, USA.

Happy Valentine!

29.10.2015

Der Schal besteht aus einem kuscheligen Mittelteil in Strick und 2 Enden, die angehäkelt werden. Ein Ende besteht aus einem Herzplätzchen und das andere aus feinem geschichteten Nougat.

Der Paradiesvogel besteht aus einem Häkelteil, das auf dem Muster Skull shawl/Döskallesjal by kungen och majkis basiert. Und einem von mir entworfenen Strickteil mit Blumen und Herzen.

Die Mütze hat Ohrenklappen. Sie kann mit einem Bommel verschönert werden.
