Work evolving - Blog discontinued

Social media today has a wide array of channels to reach the audience, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and lots and lots of others. This means that you have to choose which channels are relevant to you and I have come to the conclusion that this blog just won't make the cut anymore.

First time published in a book

Just got a package in the mail that contained a very special book. It is the first time one of my patterns has made it to a book. Feels quite unreal to be looking at my own creation in an actual book. It is in french however so I don't really understand everything. Might be time to brush up on my french again? =)

Book is available at - https://www.amazon.fr/Pixelmania-projets-pour-r%C3%A9inventer-vid%C3%A9o/dp/2842305825
My included pattern can also be found at - http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pokeball-flap-mittens

Recent inactivity

Well, as for most of my projects, this also came to a sudden halt. Moving, starting at a new job and reconnecting with my former home town and friends has been my priority for the last six months. I do have made some knitting projects during this time, but not finalized the patterns to be able to present them. With summer and vacation approaching I hope to be able to prioritize finishing these up and also plan for some future projects. Stay tuned for more nerdy knittings!

Zelda triforce mittens

2017 is kicking off and it's been a tradition to me for many years to watch AGDQ (Awesome Games Done Quick) that is held annually at the beginning of the year. This time it's a bit special since I've been contributing six of my pieces to be raffled out as prizes to the people donating during the week-long stream. It's for a good cause (Prevent Cancer Foundation) so check out the people speed-running the games at their Twitch-channel.

For the occasion I've made a new pattern for Zelda triforce mittens (and I've also donated a pair for the raffle).

Enjoy the pattern and the speed-running for the coming week!

Wicked wave headband

This is another pattern I did during the summer. It is a simple double-knitted headband and I recommend using very different colours for this to create a bigger effect on the "wave". The double-knitting makes the headband thick and warm and also reversible, making it possible to match with different things.

Minecraft creeper headband

Part 3 of the creepers finishing that theme (at least for now). Created a headband with the creeper and added some waves to make it a bit more interesting. I have not decided what to do next, but I have some finished stuff that I haven't yet written the pattern for, so I might try to catch up on that soon.

Minecraft creeper mittens

Let's keep the Minecraft theme going. Made a whole set for my nephew for his birthday, including these mittens. Haven't played any Minecraft myself but I really like the concept of building your own world and it reminds me a bit of Lego and who doesn't like that =)
