I'm a queer knitter, passionate about knitting, gardening, Star Trek, discworld, feminism, lgbtq issues, hiking, dyeing, moomins. Not necessarily in that order. CNBC, but coming to embrace it mostly. She/her. Speaks 🇩🇪🇬🇧🇩🇰
I've mended my handbag, where the fake leather is flaking. The handles are covered with knitted pieces - stockinette stitch with JMCO and grafted together and the edging is mattress stitch embroidery.

I am finished with my dress! I love wearing it, it's very comfy.
It combines the bicolored cable patterns Kells and Lindisfarne by Lucy Hague into a dress. I also added short rows and a box pleat to make it a good fit for me.

I'm finished with the bottom edging of my dress and I'm very happy so far. I can't wait to be finished to be able to wear it! It combines the patterns Kells and Lindisfarne by Lucy Hague, with added short rows and a box pleat. The yarn is malabrigo Rios and Louet Gems sportweight.

Knitting on with my dress. It has now a box pleat and I'm starting another cable pattern as an edging (Lindisfarne by Lucy Hague). Otherwise it's based on the pattern Kells, by the same designer. The yarn is malabrigo Rios and Louet Gems sportweight.

I've finished the cable pattern of my dress based on Kells by Lucy Hague and I'm quite happy so far with the fit. I'm doing rounds of blocking and trying it on every 5cms or so and adjusting my in-/decreases accordingly. I'm contemplating short rows for the belly now.

I’ve tried on the yoke of my dress (after blocking). It fits well enough and I think I’m ready to separate sleeves and body. I’ve used scoubidous to mock up the stitches between sleeves and body, which was a spontaneous idea but worked quite well I think. Pattern is based on Kells by Lucy Hague.

I’ve finished the first two color cable sock and the started the second even though I was sorely tempted to start a new project. The second has the colors reversed. The pattern is Morganna by Atelier Midsummer's Eve, and the yarn is two mini skein sets dyed by me.

After being finished with gift knitting, I'm continuing with my own stuff again. It's the yoke of a dress - based on the sweater pattern Kells by Lucy Hague. These two colored cables are really intriguing!

My first holiday present is finished! It's fingerless gloves for a young musician, with illusion knitting of a musical note and a clef. Just one more knitted gift to go!

I've lost my handbag project, a pair of socks that was almost done😐 so I'm casting on a new pair of socks instead and I'm very excited about the pattern (Morganna by Atelier Midsummer's Eve) and the yarn combo (two mini skein sets dyed by me)

I'm done with a small lovey for my grandniece. The feathers are loosely knitted in wool fiber and fulled in the washing machine after knitting.

A new project I'm working on - a sideways knitted summer skirt. I'm on 19 of 55 green stripes. The pattern is called Ashley Skirt by Trudy van Stralen and the green yarn is fingering bamboo handdyed by me and Drops loves you 9 in eleven different colors, leftovers from another project.

I’ve dyed yarn! Skeins for a progress pride flag projects and in addition sock blanks, mostly with the leftover dye from the rainbow project.

And it's finished! I love it. it's based on the tablecloth pattern called Pfingstrosen by Herbert Niebling, yarn is Linarte by Lana Grossa. i started with a swatch, did some calculations on the base of a well fitting top and then did mostly try it on in between to gauge how to proceed.

Progress picture of my summer tee, based on a motif of the tablecloth pattern called Pfingstrosen by Herbert Niebling. On the backside there's the same motif with leaves.

A new project - a summer tee in a linen rayon chainette blend. A raglanish construction based on a motif from the tablecloth pattern called Pfingstrosen from Herbert Niebling. See second pic for swatch with said motif.

I've got a picture of the bridal garter worn! She cried when I told her it's yarn from her late grandma. Made me happy to see it so well received. Pattern is Molly's Garter by Jodie Gordon Lucas.

It's finished! From a dress with a ripped chiffon skirt to a handdyed lace extravaganza. It's based on a Niebling tablecloth called Blütenstrahlen and one called Pfingstrosen. I've dyed 13 shades for that. I've worn it to my niece's wedding this week and it was fabulous!

I'm finally casting off, over 5000 stitches! The wedding I want to wear this to is next week, so I need to power through. It's going to be sewn onto a jersey dress. I've handdyed the yarn especially for this project. It's based on the Niebling patterns Blütenstrahlen and Pfingstrosen.

Started the last section of the overlay skirt for a dress. It's exciting to knit as I'm mashing up two different tablecloth patterns now.
The yarn is handdyed by me especially for this project.
