it seems i’m not able to focus on one project these days, so here are the three that share my attention:
•
the brainless socks from yarnissima in shibuiknits sock, needles 2,5 mm.
•
the edging for the starstruck shawl from pickles in the yarn merino super fine from garnstudio. i didn’t want fringes som i’m testing i-cord edging. [...]
i’ve been gone from blogging for half a year! for quite a while there i wasn’t doing much crafting either, but it’s picked up over the summer. i’ll just have to face it – i’m a periodical person. a project person. so i apologize for the inconcistency, but i think that’s the way it’s [...]

‘member this? this is something i cast on for when i saw this clever thingy. i started the bag but i changed my mind and thought i’d make a storage basket instead. so i did. as opposed to the ishi, i knitted it in one piece as entrelac, but it would be just as easy [...]

this whole hexagonic fever has developed into another idea making a blanket of various sized rings. I’m crocheting circles first (12 increases per round), then making the last round as a hex (6 increases per round), to make it easier to assemble. (about crocheting flat circles here).
