Twinneedle: Folge 7: christmas tradition

It's just before christmas, so of course it's time for a christmas special. Since I haven't finished the girls dresses for christmas, this episode will have no editing or minimal editing. Sorry in advance for that.


Here:s the link to the episode.


WIPs and FOs

I finished the little sister dress by Tora Froseth Design and I even took pictures of it.
Yarn: Duvetine by Begeré de France (discontinued)

I started and finished knitting the Borough Mittens by Veronica O'Neil from the Winter bis 2011 edition of Knitty. Yarn: Aran Merino from Das-Wollschaf dyed by me.

The Eiki shawl has seen some progress to (very little though), that means I did get some yarn from a fellow raveler.

Sewingwise I'm madly sewing away at the girls christmas dresses, using the Minikrea 20002 pattern.


Christmas traditions

I talk about Advent wraths, Advent calendars, making cookies and gingerbread houses, Stollen, Straw stars, going to church, books and traditional food for christmas as well as songs :) (no fear: I'm not singing!)

Twinneedle: Episode 6: cruise recap

Episode 6 is live! You can find it here or on itunes

Knitting

I'm currently working on a Little sister dress by Tora Frøseth Design out of some very deep deep stash yarn (Duvetine from Bergeré de France long discontinued).

During the cruise I also knitted most of the Eiki shawl by Janel Laidman but ran out of yarn and had to re-buy Wollmeise (Oh Tannenbaum).

I did NOT knit Eve or Eisblume or Meisi by Julia Müller since it seems I can't get gauge (started with 2,5mm needles..) but I started them and frogged them, since they were waaay to big.

Sewing

Finished the box bag for the sew along but nothing else. Need to speed up with the dresses for the twins for christmas

Spinning

Finished spinning some handdyed organic Merino dyed by Lollipop by Filzflash

Embroidery (yes I'm multicrafty)

During the cruised I worked on the Advent-calendar I'm making for the girls for next year by Permin.dk
