Pyttipanna Shawl No.15

This is the first shawl (pattern) that I made to learn lace knitting and fell in love with this pattern and I have now made 16 of this one and why this is number 15 is that the first number 15 was made in a yarn I didn’t like how it turned out in so I frogged it. So now I have made it in a colour and yarn that I have for a long time wanted this one in. So do I use them all? No! is the answer because lots of them have been presents and gifts.

So here is “Take 2” of the number 15 of this shawl.





You start with the border and then you pick up stitches along the whole border and then knit the rest with sort rows.






Pattern: Pyttipanna Shawl by Maria Samuelsson
Yarn: King Cole Galaxy DK (2 balls)

The pattern is free and can be found on Ravelry and written in these languages: English, Swedish, French, Italian, Norwegian and Polish

House-warming Blanket!

My stepdaughter has just moved into her first-ever house that she's sharing with a friend to help with the rent, so to celebrate this event I'm crocheting her a house-warming granny square blanket. I have no idea how many squares I need but time will tell.

Blizzard Socks


I needed to have a bit of a rest from the Riddari jumper before I get on with the colour work on the yoke, so I thought I cast on a pair of socks in between. Kay Jones from the podcast The Bakery Bears have released a new pattern for us Patreons and it's called Blizzard

So here is the first sock done and I have already done the ribbing on the second sock. It's a bit hard to see it on this photo but the lace pattern is showing fir trees. I have to say that I love her patterns because they are so well written and the patterns are nice and fun to knit.


You can find all her patterns on Ravelry
