Dalahäst mittens

Things have been a bit crazy in the beginning of this new year. 2015 started with a new super fun commission, and I've been glued to my desk since then. However, I still managed to knit these Dalahäst mittens for a dear friend in Canada. I hope they keep her hands warm and cozy!

Into the blue

Hi everyone, how have you been? I'm still very busy working on the new book. But in my little spare time I've managed to knit this new shetland sweater while I binge watched House of Cards and True Detective.

I saw this amazing vintage find in Kate Davies' blog, and I just felt like I needed one myself. I drew the chart based on the pictures and used my usual yoke sweater numbers to make my own version. I'm ridiculously happy with the outcome! Now I only need a little less spring-like weather so I can wear it.

Anyway, I'm already planning my next project. I need to have something on my needles for the new season of Game of Thrones and (sad face) the last season of mad Men.

Breaking Bad cross-stitch

I'm a HUGE Breaking Bad fan, it's my favorite show of all time, hands down. So when I came across these amazing Breaking Bad Iotacons by Andy Rash, I just knew I had to make them in cross-stitch, since it's basically the same as pixel art. I hadn't used thread and needle since I was about fourteen years old, but it's like riding a bike, you don't forget how to do it. This was so much fun to do and it will remind me of how awesome Breaking Bad is once it's over this year :(

Anyway, now I feel very tempted to do an Indiana Jones one. Or maybe just cross-stitch everything!
