I’m a keen knitter.
Sometimes I go a few weeks or even months without knitting, all busy with work, and with no exception, every time I pick it up again I wonder how I have survived without. I have a huge stash of which I’m both proud and embarrassed.
I have a Ravelry profile with sparse accounting of the projects I start and sometimes finish, and very many wishes and favourite knits and patterns.
Whenever I travel I tend to visit yarn shops, mostly abroad since I love to see what they are like in countries I do not know well. Still, I regularly visit my local spots, too. My go-to shop in Groningen is Achterpand, on the beautiful Lage der A.
Highlights
FriSkirt
This is my first (and only) fully self-written pattern. I often make up stuff, but this is the only one I actually wrote down properly.
Asymmetric
This is my favourite knitted piece. I haven’t worn it much, but I love it. The pattern called for sleeves, but I went for not having them.
Chess
I like to knit nonwearables too. This is one of my favourite pieces knitted during the long Covid days.
