I finished the cardigan which was commissioned by a friend of my mum on behalf of her mother. The recipient’s name is Erica, which apparently is Latin for heather. Perfectly fitting for this colour. Mum made me pose with some heather.

Shouldn’t have posted about spring, or appreciating sunshine, yesterday. Today the city is blanketed in haar, and even inside my head feels full of icy fog. Good day to stay home finishing a cardigan and baking though.
Anyone remember this?

I first posted that picture in October, and I finished the body before xmas. The sleeves have [...]

Here’s why I’m so smitten:

Wore this to a party on Saturday, and I would have [...]

Peek-a-boo
Proper blogging tomorrow I promise. I have a few things to share. Anyway, if you happen to be my secret pal, curious enough to have noticed that my ‘about’ page doesn’t exist, or have a strange desire to send me gifts you can read my answers to this questionnaire behind the cut. I [...]
