Berenice for Berenike
Vacation time is long past, school holidays are over tomorrow and the regularly scheduled life is about to begin anew. I can honestly say that I am quite happy for school to start again after the customary 6 weeks hiatus. While „vacation“ always sounds so nice in the beginning it does certainly come with its
WIP :: Berenice ::
Last week I’ve started Berenice in size 6 for my daughter. It’s a really motivating knit which means I’m already done with the backside. The yarn is a dream to work with, super soft and a pretty color: Geilsk Bomull og Uld 2ply (discontinued), held double.

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
