Recent projects

Right now I am working on several things:

Sewing
Sewing a black bra and knickers set.
Handsewing
A rainbow fairy set for decoration

Recently I also restarted our season decorating area. This is inspired by the Steiner philosophy. I like getting a bit of nature into our home to feel the seasons also in our home. This makes us feel closer to nature.
So the area has a nice piece of fabric in light green that we have partially hung up and partially it is laying on our Welsh Dresser. On that we have a wooden mushroom, some decoration squashes, some corn in various states, from complete, to partially without the corns, to completely without the corns. Chestnuts - with their shells, oak nuts with their chells, beech nuts with their chells, some pine cones.
We will still go out - when its not raining - to get some leaves and put those on a string and hang them at that area as well.
It just looks lovely so far.
And we will keep changing it with the seasons :-)

cable socks

For my 14yo daughter I am making socks with a cable pattern in there. I do not have a pattern for it, so I am designing them as I go. I will also publish the pattern once I am done :-) as they are starting to look really really good.

Lizzie socks

With recently bought black sock yarn I have started making an adaption of the Lizzie pattern from the Socken-Kreativ-Liste on yahoo. I found the pattern on Ravelry and it looks really great. I just wanted to add more of the lace pattern to it, so therefore I am adapting it :-)
These socks are going to be for me :-)

Shaker style throw

In the meantime I have completely re-knitted the 2 damaged blocks and it turned out really well, it was easy to put them back in and it looks like before again :-)

Gina WLD

Slowly but carefully I am knitting those stockings. They are really really gorgeous as you can see on the in progress pics :-)

Socs for Anna

Yesterday I just had to start knitting Anna some socks. The oldest 2 had gotten some socks recently and Anna doesn't have a lot of socks any more, so I started with the yarn I bought

Yarn

On Tuesday I drove to the Coop Bau und Hobby and bought yarn for 80 franks. I really couldn't resist. There are such nice types of sock yarn, so I bought 6 different ones and will start using them to have all kids several pairs of sock by next winter :-)

Shaker style throw - damaged

During our move from the UK to Switzerland my throw got damaged. 2 of the blocks are torn quite heavily, which has made me consider reknitting them completely, as repairing will be a tricky one I am sure *snif*
