Had a lovely day in Spreewald yesterday and couldn't resist a photo with the various bunnies πŸ˜†
I also took the opportunity to wear some me made things - this dress is one of my favourite sewing projects, and my mount pleasant tee πŸ˜†

Casted on a new sock with my mum when she was visiting last week 😊
I haven't touched my other knitting in over a week but hopefully I'll play catch up during this new week 😊

I'm wearing my 1940s jumper here that wanted to be a 1950s tee 😊

Progress is happening! Despite finding moth eggs and having gauge dramas... I battle on 🀣

Who would have thought my tension would be better when I knit colourwork flat?!

I'm so curious where the showmeyourknits hashtag originates... How does one know the theme?
Your project looks very delightful πŸ™‚

Ironically I'm watching a youtuber talk about cleaning whilst videoing this and I don't know how to turn the sound off on these videos 🀣 so, yes, you'll find me listening to videos about cleaning whilst eating as well 🀣

Tea in vintage china and homemade chocolate sweets... πŸ‘Œ
I'm hoping my knitting mojo comes back soon, but until then you'll find me in the kitchen or cleaning it 🀣

My new wool arrived for my redo of the colourwork jumper I'm making, but I've now decided to cut out the excess and just keep going with it 🀣 so... What shall this gorgeous wool be turned into...? Exciting times involve planning future projects 😊

These were the days when my yarn looked lovely and it was not shoved into plastic sandwich bags to stop insects eating it up πŸ˜‚

Another #vintageknit that I love πŸ’• and another #1940s knit!
I made this one last year just in time for my birthday. It's the "bows are news" jumper and I really have to resist the urge to make multiples in different colours πŸ˜…

Knitting away on my mount pleasant jumper 😺🧢
I do love a good lace project. I'm looking forward to blocking it and seeing how much better it will look afterwards. Right now I'm panicking it's too big but I'm sure it'll be fine πŸ˜†
Yarn: Swedish ullcentrum tunt garn 🧢

Me in 2023 sitting in a cat cafe in my 40s bunny ear jumper 😺
I'm contemplating ripping out this jumper and reknitting it to get the fit to be better. Am I crazy? πŸ˜†

New YouTube is up if you're in need of some crafting company 😺

Here's the tee part of the twin-set I showed you the other day ☺️
Also, here's evidence my fringe can behave... It's been temperamental the last few months & I was beginning to question if it ever looked good 🀣

This is a 1950s style tee & definitely a favourite of mine πŸ‘

Another oldie but a goldie for you ☺️ if you watched my YouTube videos last year you'll know this jumper has had a crazy life already. It's been a failed jumper, it's been a vest, it's been cut up, it's been reknitted and resewn.. it's been dramatic 🀣 but it's still pretty

Another make from last year. This is a #1940s twin-set from a Monarch magazine. I knitted the stripy tee by hand & then the cardigan was something I wanted to try out on my #vintage #knittax knitting machine. It was a bit more complicated than expected but fun ☺️

I thought I might add some of my older photos on here since it's new and not everyone here follows me on insta/YT.
This is my 1940s "rainbow jumper" and I LOVE it!
It was one of my first vintage knits and I'm wearing it in Stockholm in the photo ☺️🧢

Hahaha yes I would much rather knit this up into a cardigan and cut it open than undo 10 days worth of work. I find it fun to come up with different challenges to fix things rather than just rip out and reknit πŸ˜†

I was thinking about my answer yesterday and after, I've had the Amelie soundtrack in my head ever since so πŸ˜‚
I do listen to movie soundtracks and apparently even after many years they're still in there πŸ˜‚

I accidentally made my #vintage jumper 4" too big bc I was off by 1/2 a stitch 🫣 obviously my gauge changed since the last time I used Rauma wool!
I'm now planning on how to rescue it & it may involve scissors βœ‚οΈ
I think I'll turn it into a cardigan instead seeing as I'll be cutting it up the middle
