Nice to meet you! You’ll find yarn-related things here that involve either a hook or a pair of needles, lots of photos (yarn-related or not) and every now and then I’ll share some food inspiration. I hope that you like what you see and read. Don’t hesitate to drop me a line either as a comment or by email. Read More...

Hooray! The pattern for my Cashmere Hugs shawl is live! 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’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 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 😄!

One last snow day before the magical white stuff starts to disappear again tomorrow... can we do this again? Soon please? With even more snow?

It’s the perfect weather to knit something warm and woolly! ❄️❄️❄️ Here’s a progress pic of the second version of the #cashmerehugsshawl! I really like the different shades of blue in this one!

Have a lovely weekend! Anyone doing something special for Valentine’s Day? ❤️

Another beautiful #winterday! ❄️ Oh, how I love this kind of weather... snow, sun and temperatures that are slightly below zero. Another walk in the woods was top priority today 😉❄️☀️!

Ps, Bono is wearing a brace after hurting his foot a few months ago.
