From fiber to sweater: Baby Raglan
Baby boy is 7 months old as of today and is already very mobile and quick to get around in a belly crawl that’s just too cute for words. To keep his belly warm on the floor this little sweater got off the needles just in time. It’s a basic top-down raglan with the yoke
Old passions, new addictions
More than 10 years ago I got quite heavily into sewing, especially into clothes. But I have to admit, copying a sewing pattern, transferring all the pieces onto the fabric, and all this cutting business before you ever sat down at the sewing maching really wasn’t for me. Granted, once you’ve had your pieces ready
4 Weeks ago
This picture was taken nearly 4 weeks ago when Tiberius turned 4 months. He’s quite the little charmer 🙂 With his big sister preparing to start school in August I’ve been going back and forth between organizing stuff for her and spending time soothing Mr. T through some heavy toothing pains. But there’s always a
Welcome, Little Boy
Little Mr. T Tiberius Richard Ephraim Born on February 9th, 6:42 pm 3400 grams/7.5 lb., 52 cm/20.5″ By now he’s already three weeks old.

Time flies
I cannot believe that we’re going on Halloween already. The halfway mark of my pregnancy came and went and now I’m already nearing the magical remaining 100 days.

A Quilt – My very first one
Last weekend at our spinning group a lady brought a patchwork project and some supplies and gave a mini patchwork and quilting workshop. I stood on the sidelines and watched with interest.

Pepita
So, yeah, we’re actually doing this baby adventure a second time 🙂 If things go as planned then this one is going to be a February baby. Perfect season for an avid knitter like myself 😉 The cute Pepita pattern has been on my to-do list for ages. Never felt like knitting this one for
Trigonometry
Finished this fun little blanket while on a visit to family last weekend. A four hours drive always provides ample of knitting time. The blanket is very graphic and constructed out of garter stitch triangles running in different directions. It’s done with short-rows and modular knitting. It’s been so much fun and a quick knit.Ate
Ikea is catching, totally
Every year spring seems to bring with it a strong urge to start some redecorating, to sort out old stuff and to rearrange some furniture. And maybe finally getting around to painting the darned staircase and get rid of the ugly terracotta color the previous owners had in the bedroom. This year things got even
Glindle Spindle
I’ve been lusting after one of those special support spindles made by Bristlecone over at ArtFibre. He calls them Glindles a composition of ‚glass‘ and ’spindle‘, I suppose. I asked for a custom spindle with a glass bead that’s got some magenta or pink in there. Obviously the posed quite the challenge for Chris.
