……All can be accomplished in whatever you take on, as long as You love it and believe in "Yes I Can"
Slowly this cardigan is having its shape coming together. Love the soft yellow colour in this yarn. I have never knit with Soybean yarn and it’s my first time dyeing it too.
Love the feel on how this yarn knits up. It is so strong and doesn’t split at all. You really need a scissor to cut the yarn no way you can tear it.
I think this will look perfect in the summer months with shorts.
You can find the pattern here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/vodka-lemonade
Coat is finally finished. Smiles, it only took me 4 summers to knit up.
Wow… You may say, but being fingering weight, needles 2.25 mm and in a black as you can see for most of the knitting. I really needed good lighting and the best was, sunlight outside in my backyard. Then the challenge of cutting the front open, something we knitters call “Steeking” and picking up stitches to bind the front edge…woha, a little nerve-racking. Only because I already invested that many year of knitting into the coat. Really did not want to muck this part up…Yes perfect all great.
You can see the inside of the coat is just a beautiful as the ousie..smile.
The pattern and yarn are from Christel Seyfarth Shetland Lambswool she has some stunning and beautiful designs.
As I have shortened this jacket I had to modify some areas. So it is not true version of her coat. Therefore I have lots of yarn left. for some other project. Then I still have a foul box of her yarn for another coat of shawl..

This knitting technic called Entrelac is not as difficult as You may think it is….
I have put a little video together on how to work the block on the right side on how to merge the two sections together….
I will be working on a view more videos in the next view days, that will show you how to Merge the sections together on the purl side. And hopefully also the two triangle section on each side. The last row with all the casting off triangles …..Yes then off to the sleeves and the collar.
So please visit for More Videos to follow soon….and Hope to have pattern available for this Cardi Entrelac Style soon too.
Blowing in the summer wind it is for sure…
This Origami Shrug by Melissa Wehrle is so soft and light. It has been on my mind for way to long to knit this shrug up. Since I have the book now for several years I thought it really is time to start knit it up too…
Can you tell I am Soooo loving it .
I used 5 skeins of my absolute favourite yarn called Louet MerLin Sport Weight a total of 1142 meters where knit up with needle US 6 -4.0mm in the Aqua colour. So sad though this yarn is now discontinued ;-(((
If I would knit this Origami Shrug again I would be to use my KnitswissYarns in sport weight. Really think it would be stunning too.
Totally in love with this Origami Shrug.
When it came to sewing the back together I put the stitches on two separate needles and used the Kitchener this way…no one will see a seam!
(Now if you are going to knit this one up, look at the pattern errata there is a correction that is important to know! )
Now available for you to knit too. Pattern is available at
Pattern is available here and on Ravelry.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I am.
This Friendship Blanket Shrug was published this last February 2016 in
“A Needle Pulling Thread” Magazine.
Sweet as can be is this Baby Jacket…..
Knit Knit Knit was my job. Well not a job a passion I can truly say. Never without anything on my needles.

Lacy CardiganA light fun pattern and ideal to wear over a strapless top or halter top.
You want your crochet work to show off. 
The sleeves and back are crochet all in one piece and then at the sleeves section sewn together. Once that is done it gets easier. Just pick up the required stitches all around the body opening. Knitting in the round is easy now as it is a knit 2, purl 2, knit 2 continue to end …

Flaming June Is a wonderful light summery cardigan.
However it does not give so knitting with it is a bit of a challenge. You do have to knit a swatch as my gauge was off by at 4 stitches so I still knit by pattern but went down with my needle size to a 3.5mm. Some Ravelry posts even have used a 2mm needle size to get the correct gauge.. I also had to knit the sleeves shorter as I was reading on some sites it does stretch a bit. Well I have to say that is correct as mine stretched in length by at least 3 inches.
Flaming Juni ist ein wunderbare, sommerliche und leichte Strickjacke. Im Bild hier strickte ich sie mit zwei verschiedenen Farben wie im Muster geschrieben von Cheryl Niamath auf Raverly.
Diese Strickjacke hat einen schönen, leichten Hang hat beim Tragen. Einige von Euch mögen die Rauheit von diesem Hanf nicht. Hanf ist überwiegend für Schnur oder Seile gebraucht. Hier etwas feiner und ich sage weichere Version. Doch muss ich ehrlich sagen das stricken mit Hanf ist nicht das einfachste. Bestimmt musst Du ein Muster stricken. Ich musste runter mit der Nadel Grösse zu 3.5mm einige mussten sogar zu einer 2mm Nadel grösse gehen. Auch zieht sich die Jacke in die Länge beim Tragen. So musste ich die Ärmel etliches kürzer stricken.
