März 25, 2012 0 comments Article All

As far as craft hobbies go I always seem to be on one kick or another. Probably mostly because while I might have time to extensively knit I wouldn’t man  age to do large crochet stuff on top of that AND spinning yarn at the same time. Days with 24 hours only and all that 😉 Read More

This weekend a friend asked about my well-being since I hadn’t shared any new knitting around here for a while. Ouch.

And here we are. Another year in front of us. Full of new possibilites and challenges. Time to see what’s been going on knitting wise here at Sooza’s. The clever Ravelry database tells me I’ve got 35 projects logged in for 2011. Not bad. Lots of this has actually been crochet which was a surprise Read More

Here’s a knitted FO from back in October that went to a friend as a gift. Ishbel by Isolda Teague is one of rare patterns I’ve knitted more than once. And since the results are always so nice I’ll probably do it again. I’m thinking Wollmeise this time. Project details on Ravelry. Read More

While washing some of my woolen garments for winter I was shocked to find my beloved Wollmeise cardigan with two holes and a thin spot on the collar. How can this be?

I am beyond happy about the pink Delica. The Delica model is about my favorite Spydie with the only drawback that it’s not legal to carry in Germany because it locks and is one hand operated. This one has been a special edition for the Spyderco distributor Midwest Gun Exchange and I secured one via Read More

August 8, 2011 0 comments Article FO

With only about 7 months in the making this crochet blanket hasn’t been the most epic project I’ve ever done. But after years of blocking out crochet completely this one feels like a real achievement. And after a handful of cute crochet scarfs this is my first big project off the hook.
