I made a new shopper called Rori! This pattern was the theme of the January subscription box by @dasmachichnachts (where I got my supplies for this one). I chose @robertkaufman Essex Linen as my main fabric and combined it with two #kismetfabric prints designed by @sharonhollanddesigns for @artgalleryfabrics. My adaption to the original #shopperrori is the addition of a (double) front pocket for my phone (swipe).

One more #cashmerehugsshawl ... I haven’t shown

One more #cashmerehugsshawl ... I haven’t shown you the original shawl, the cashmere version, before. I love how lightweight and warm this one is!

Have a lovely Sunday evening!

Pattern is Cashmere Hugs by me
Yarn is @lanagrossa Lovely Cashmere

The Cashmere Hugs pattern includes the instruction

The Cashmere Hugs pattern includes the instructions for two versions. The reason is that I wanted to offer a more affordable alternative to the beautiful Lovely Cashmere yarn. I picked the GOTS certified Landlust Merino 120 yarn (also by @lanagrossa) and I have to say that I like the merino version at least as much!

The cashmere yarn is very lightweight and warm. The merino yarn is available in more colours and very airy as well. Both are soft but have their own beautiful characteristics!

The 20% introduction discount on Ravelry is valid until midnight Sunday 28th February 2021 (CET, no code needed)!

It’s available on Ravelry (link in bio) and the pattern includes the instructions for the original cashmere version (using Lana Grossa Lovely Cashmere) and the merino version (using the GOTS certified Landlust Merino 120 yarn, also by Lana Grossa, shown here).

I’m offering a 20% discount on Ravelry until midnight Sunday 28th February 2021 (no code needed).

Thank you @lanagrossa & @lana_grossa_nl for generously providing the yarns!

I’ve just published a pattern extension for my #ittakesthreeshawl . This free add-on contains the instructions to make an extra large fingering weight version of this shawl!

This XL version is a cooperation with @wolmetverve: Sylvia picked the colours and supplied the yarn and I knitted the shawl.

The idea was to use it as a sample at yarn festivals... Unfortunately, there aren’t any now (for obvious reasons). Sylvia is hosting a virtual yarn festival on her website though with a lot of new colours. Keep an eye on her feed for updates!

The shawl is soon on its way to you Sylvia!

Yesterday was #valentinesday and usually that’s

Yesterday was #valentinesday and usually that’s not a big thing in our house. However, during lockdown everything is different 😉. So, there were flowers on Saturday by @gezellig_bloemen_lifestyle (because I kind of neglected my husband’s birthday recently), then there was a second bunch of flowers on Sunday (this time for me). And I could pretend that I was in the kitchen all day to cook us dinner, but no: not true. We had a delicious #love2share dinner prepared by @restaurantsukade. It was so good and too much: we postponed dessert to this afternoon 😄!
