We started the day with a winter walk! Yes, there was a little bit of snow, but barely worth mentioning. I did enjoy it though! ❄️

This is my new cast-on! Well, new…it’s been on my needles for two weeks now 😉.

I’m #knitting the #tjeelvahoodie by @rosap_handcrafting in @camarosedk Sommeruld (from @rauwerk_wool) and Midnatssol (from @crossandwoods) held together.

The yarns knit up beautifully and I like how the not quite similar colours go together 😍.

I’ll need to do a quick fitting tomorrow though to see if I’m on track size wise!

The last one... I promise. I just like this felt stalk on the #pumpkinplacemat too much to not use this photo 😂!

Anyway, a blog post and a tutorial (with free template) are on my website. You know where the link is 😊,

Enjoy your evening! I'll continu with gift making now!

How can it be December already? Where did this year go?

The good news is that I can FINALLY start to unwrap my #adventcalendar by @oliviaandoliverfibers. I’m very curious to see what she has come up with! 🤗

It’s my first yarn advent calendar ever and I hesitated very long before hitting the buy button. I think I snapped the last one Tam had in her shop 😂!

Also, I didn’t have a proper basket to display the calendar so I made one myself 😉. I’ve used Svetlana’s @sotakhandmade #lagomstoragebins pattern (I made mine a bit wider).

Keep an eye on my stories if you’d like to follow along.

We went for a walk and I took the camera with me (and a certain shawl that finally got photographed). And then we found this. Fog was rolling in. It was mystical!

So, this is what I used the fabrics from my previous post for. I made pumpkin shaped placemats. 🍁🍂🧡

I watched Sandra’s @sandracherryhrt Quiet Moments vlog and immediately fell in love with her pumpkin placemats… she used a lovely, scrappy approach.

I went for a more ‘structured’ approach (because I’m bad at scrappy 😋) and I love how they turned out!

And yes, I used ALL the autumn decorations that I could find in our house 😂!

Before the holiday season is going to make its ent

Before the holiday season is going to make its entry in my feed, I’d like to show you my autumn make… these are the fabrics that I used.

The fabrics are mix of @artgalleryfabrics, @cottonandsteel and @robertkaufman. Some from stash or from previous @dasmachichnachts boxes and some from our recent trip to Germany (we ran into @stoffwechsel_meterweise, a lovely fabric shop on one of our walks!)

I like the combination of colours very much, they’re very autumnal 🍁🍂🧡.
