fulfilled promise

Oh, and I seem to have promised to show this photo of "proud knitter wrapped in shawl"

Look! I knit!

It's my grey on grey Venezia. Rolff thinks I should prioritize cuddling to knitting though.

Other than that - We bought a house! And I'm moving into a dream home in the woods outside Gothenburg next weekend.

anagram name

Any other knitter out there that giggles at this? I giggled.

Lisa Ahlstrom's anagram name is SLIM AS HARLOT

shawl

It's hanging, still slightly damp, tempting me. It's done. Finally.
It was my project for the IAAF World Championships knit-along, but I ran out of yarn and finished late. It's the luscious Noro Silk Garden Sock, that behaved awfully while knitting, but is blocked out to one of the most beautiful knitted surfaces I've ever seen! I cast off using a cotton linnen blend in a solid brown-grey color to get a steady edging, and I must say that was a stroke of brilliance on my part!

More pictures will be posted when I can show the whole thing wrapped around a proud knitter!

omg crochet!

Look! I can crochet! I even freestyled the trousers (deliberately wonky).
He needs a name though... Any suggestions?

updated etsy again

Two new additions to my etsy today. A cat and a lamb. I almost kept the lamb for myself... The perfect accessory to a knitting bag!

new pattern!!!

A versatile, simple and whimsical hat pattern is born.
"Mysse" is now published over at visalisadesign!

I'm making other examples of it to show you.
Bright blue with a knot on top for example...

updated etsy

New brooches added to my etsy shop - and more are on their way!
Found these Fabulous jigsaw pieces from the 40s, with gnomes , bugs and spotty mushrooms on them. To many big pieces of a small jigsaw is missing to be able to see the whole picture, but from what I could see, it's super cute!
And as brooces or pendants - success! I wore the one I saved for myself today. Three different people commented on it! Go shop my stuff!
