Krea Doe

Last Saturday I was at the Krea Doe in Utrecht, helping out a friend who had a stand there. The Krea Doe is a very popular fair, it was very busy the entire day. A lot of people had a nice day out. These two pictures were taken before opening hours. I did not have time to make more pictures with all the customers there.


I knew that Arne and Carlos would also be there to present their knitted christmas balls, the Julekuler. So I brought my copy of their book, hoping to get it signed.

They were knitting and talking with a lot of people. Arne told me that they did not expect their book to get this much attention.

Knitting christmas balls is really a big hit. They were very nice and had attention for everybody there. I had the opportunity to make some pictures and got my book signed as well.

Looking forward to the Handwerkbeurs

This is what I'll be wearing.

Knitwear in magazine

Knitwear seems to be hot again for some fashion companies, especially the more chunky knits.

Colourful cardigan

This cardigan has flown off the needles. It took about a month from start to finish, and for me that is pretty fast. It is knit entirely in moss stitch with a line of brioch stitch on both front sides.

I made it on 5.0 mm needles with the yarn held double. The yarn is Scheepjes Invicta Colour with different colours on the skein. Since I worked with two threads, I tried to have the colour of the two strands of yarns as different as possible, so the colours would blend into each other nicely.

The cardigan was knit in the round from the bottom up until I reached the armholes, and has set-in sleeves.
