Finally finished my #mono_lines_cardigan (Pattern released today!)
I had the chance to test knit this beautiful design by @mono_knit_editions and it truly was a labor of love.

I knitted it in Alpakka Ull from Sandnes Garn on 3mm needles and it took a lot of patience (and many baby nap knitting sessions 😅)! But it was so, so worth it in the end!
I already know this one will be a staple in my wardrobe 😍

I’m obsessed with this new design by @morecaknit and can’t wait to wear it on those perfect, not-too-hot spring days 😍

And don’t get me started on the yarn… it might just be my new favorite merino/mohair combo!

My newest finished object: my #heyhohat by @knittingforelse
The pattern is being released today!

I was a bit sceptical at first when knitting the lace motif, not because of the pattern, but because I didn’t enjoy that part as much. The stockinette, however, went by so fast, and the final result makes it all worth it 😍
Still, I have to admit: the process of lace knitting isn’t quite my thing although I love the result!

In my last post I already shared that I’d love to become more active here on Instagram again and I’d like to start before the year ends by showing you one of my newest test knits: the #rosebudcardigan by @cocoamourknitwear
I’ve tested for Cheryl a few times now, and every single time she outdoes herself. How beautiful is this design though?! 😍 I honestly can’t put it down right now… well, except when little M. is awake, but is there any better reason to take a break than spending time with your baby?

PS: And well… sometimes I also knit on one of my two other test knits 🤦🏽‍♀️

This year has been such a journey, from being pregnant, to giving birth in April, to now spending my days with the sweetest little baby. Through all the sleepless, stressful and emotional moments, knitting has always been my calm place. I’m so grateful for this hobby that makes my heart happy.

I’ve really missed being active here and connecting with you all. Life has been full with pregnancy, preparing for baby, and now cuddles with little M. But I hope to be around more in 2026.

Do you have any plans or resolutions for 2026 knitting-related or otherwise? I’d love to hear them 🥰

Is there anything better than a yarny delivery?
This beauty arrived today and I couldn’t wait, I already cast on a swatch and it’s so incredibly soft.
I’m beyond excited to start the #rosebudcardigan test knit by @cocoamourknitwear 😍

My #chantalmittens in brown cashmere 🤎
The first one is finished and I’m honestly obsessed. Such a beautiful pattern and the softest yarn I’ve ever worked with.
I’m already dreaming of a green pair.. but first, mitten number two!
