This is a very sad post as I cannot afford to continue this site due to the fact that I am still unemployed and I just turned 61 so no one wants me anymore. As we all know by now, gas, diesel, food, electricity and such have shot up to ridiculous heights so I have to cut my expenses where I can to stay afloat, so after many years here at One.com (ex .b-one), then I have canceled my domain which will be deleted on March 1st. I want to thank everyone who was interested in my website and later blog, and no one uses blogs anymore when Facebook and Instagram have taken over that thing. So I will no ..read more

Beautiful gifts from a dear friend. I can’t beleive that I’m so lucky to get these beautiful gifts from a friend in my Facebook group. I was mentioning that I have three sewingmachines and non of them are working properly and I really want to have my mums old Singer from 1960 serviced and fixed, but we don’t have any shops in town that does services on sewing machines, so I need to drive some distance to do it so it jut sits there and it’s frustrating. I really want to learn how to sew these things for my knitting and then I might be able to sew some cloathes, but I’m not holding my breath. So ..read more

Green buttons for the Oh-Land/Öland cardigan I finally got the buttons that I ordered from www.e-slojd.se January 13 but I had to remind them twice before they sent them. Anyway, these buttons are for the Oh-land cardigan that I knitted recently and after seeing these up front I decided on the biggest ones. Perfect for the cardiganThe Oh-Land/Öland cardigan The sad thing with this one is that before I vlocked it it fitted perfectly but now the yoke is massive and I need to sort it out in one way or another and I think I have come up with a good idea, so I will be trying that out first before I ..read more

On Christmas eve I wanted to cast on a pair of socks with this lovely Opal yarn that I bought in Cambridge 2019. It has a silver sparkle in it so it was perfect to use it during Christmas and I was not using any patterns for this one, so just a vanilla sock with a bit of “fun” just after the rib. I have just cast on the second sock so this pair will soon be finished. Yarn used: Fingering weight (Opal 9670 Shine) Needle: 2.50 mm Started: 24th of December 2021 ..read more

When I have finished a pair of socks, shawl, cowl a.s.o, I can’t throw away the leftover yarn, instead, I use it for a scrappy project like blankets or socks even, so here I have four blankets on the go at the same time and as soon as I have finished a project, that yarn goes straight into these blankets. The two Granny Striped blankets are from a pattern by Atic24 and it’s a free pattern. You can see I have two of them on the go and that’s because one is wider than the other one and I have only variegated and tonal yarns in that one and only for two rows, whilst in the other one I use even s ..read more

Beautiful Cardigan by Linnea Ornstein I really wanted to knit this one as soon as I saw it but it did take a bit of time before I had all the yarn and that I felt ready for colourwork. But I did it. Everything went fine but the colourwork was puckering a bit and I was hoping it would flatten out after blocking, and it did but turned it way too big at the top. So I’m a bit upset now over this because it fitted perfectly unblocked and now it’s massive. I think I will not use Superwash Merino for these things in the future or just knit one size smaller so it will fit after blocking. A woman in my ..read more
