On this project, I did not do that much knitting these past few weeks. Still, with a couple of rows here and there, a project slowly grows

Yes, I've done a bit more knitting on the leafy border of the Big Round Shawl. There are currently 5 more leaves to knit. To be continued!
#FlashbackThursday A couple of years ago, I designed the Jade Clover Tunic. The version pictured here, is tunic length, but the pattern also contains info about modifications to make it a tee or a dress!

I finished my socks! They fit great, I’m really happy about that. It turns out it’s pretty hard to photograph socks you’re wearing, though
It has been a while since I posted an update on my bubble stitch La Rentrée sweater. I’ve finished the first sleeve, and started the second. I may also redo the rolled border on the body, I think I’d like it a couple of rounds deeper as in the sleeves
#FlashbackThursday A couple of years ago, I made a tutorial on working slip stitch as edge treatment. I used it to neaten up the edges, and to add a bit of a contrasting color.

#FlashbackThursday The Schelp Shawl is one of my older designs. It's a bottom-up crescent started with the border, and shaped with short rows!

#StashDiveSaturday For my bubble stitch La Rentrée sweater, it’s a good thing I found some more of this yarn in London. Otherwise it would be very tight with those voluminous sleeves
I did not like the fabric with 4 mm needles, so I cast on again with 3.5 mm. Much better!
#StashDiveSaturday I can't remember if I posted about this yarn before. But, I found it in my stash, and I couldn't resist casting on a semicircular pi-shawl!
A Vikkel braid is a decorative knitting technique to create a horizontal braid-like texture across the fabric. Click to see how it's worked!

#StashDiveSaturday This new yarn was purchased in London, earlier this year. I think it will be an all-over lace shawl when I get round to writing a pattern for it
#FlashbackThursday A couple of years ago, I made a tutorial on bust shaping, using vertical bust darts. Very useful to know when knitting garments!

This shawl is done! Next up is blocking, and getting the pattern to my editor
#FlashbackThursday The Elena Half Hap was the very first half hap I designed. It's still one of my favorite shawls to wear when it's a bit chilly!

#StashDiveSaturday Soon, we'll be going to the Efteling. To pass the time while standing in roller coaster queues, I usually take an easy to remember new knitting project with me. I think I'll be using this yarn!
#FlashbackThursday The tubular bind-off creates a rounded edge of your project, and is very stretchy. This makes it a very good bind-off for bottom-up socks. It's a tad time-consuming to work. Very much worth it, though!

Last week, I was working on a new tutorial. Of course, #DonutTheCat had to "help"
