i needed something to wrap my „äpfelchen“ in before i put it in the laptop thingy of my rucksack. the rucksack was not made for such a lovely small notebook, and the macbook was really wobbling around in there, so i sewed this very simple felt cozy/sleeve for my baby:
… is finally finished. yay!
wollmeise yarn is precious. so i try to use every single meter and centimeter of it. this is what i knit yesterday with the leftovers from my clapotis:
i just love wollmeise! whatever you knit from it, it looks and feels wonderful 🙂
knit another binary cable hat. this time for me and in just 2 days. i love the pattern. because it’s so nerdy and because it’s so quick! 🙂
london is not only good for sightseeing, party, music and all that, but also for crafts shopping. have a look at my treasures.
2 4oz skeins of cherry tree hill sock yarn (100% merino), simply knitting magazine, son of stitch ’n bitch:
i got those at „i knit“ near waterloo:
„i’d rather be knitting“ cup, england and mini star buttons:
i got those at „all the fun of the fair“ at kingsley court, carnaby street:
winding some lovely wollmeise „indisch rot“ to start a lace ribbon scarf while i’m in london. i don’t go anywhere without my knitting 😉
i love my swift and yarn winder. so comfortable. and fast. and fun. 🙂
pattern: binary cable hat
yarn: belday monaco, grey, acrylic
idea: i love the idea of this pattern! the cables represent the numbers 0 to 15 in binary. how? a cable twist = 1, no cable twist = 0. so what you can see on the photo are numbers 1 to 7 (+ half of 8). how cool is that! perfect present from nerd to nerd!
here it is, the first snowbird mitten is finished! 🙂 i love it. it’s such a lovely pattern!
hope a good soak will smoothen out the stitches a little…
i love them already! 🙂
pattern: showbird mittens, vogue knitting fall 2008
yarn: lana grossa cool wool 2000
needles: dpns 2.5mm
it’s great to knit! never boring but very easy… i hope the front smoothens a little when i block it…

i was thinking of a special scarf for some time… had a look at many shops but i didn’t find what i had in mind. but hey, i’m knitter, right?! so i just knit my dream scarf myself. 🙂
the idea: a long, wide, ribbed purple scarf with fringe!
so i got some yarn at ebay, 600g of austermann mombasa (100% cotton, 100m/50g)…
…and started with a very easy pattern. co 89 st, then k3, p3 aaaaaall the way until the scarf is about 2m long… which will take forever… but anyway 😉
