    Oh boy, I haven’t been very good at posting about how I have been doing with knitting my lopapeysa. Well, since last time I wrote about it a lot of things have happened. I finished the body of the sweater, finally! It took such a long time, which is strange because it is just row…

    Knitting Astrid: Week 2 + 3

    There are couple of reasons why week 2 and 3 just get two posts instead of one. Firstly, I didn’t have time to take pictures of my process and write everything up. And secondly, all I did was knit the same thing over and over again! I mentioned in my last week’s post that I…

    Knitted: Beanie for a Friend

    Hello! There are several things I enjoyed when knitting the beanie and two things I did not enjoy! Let’s start with the negative things! At first, I knitted the hat with 2.5 mm needles and whilst it did look good the hat was ultimately too small. I decided to start again and used 3.5 mm needles…

    Knitted: Mittens for Roommate

    I am really bad at finishing knitting projects. I usually start on something and then not finish it, or even finish it but then I don’t like it enough to give it to someone. I have been slowly trying to stop that and I has worked. My goal for the next year is basically finishing…
