Zelda triforce headband

The week that passed Zelda turned 30 years old. Zelda is by far my favourite series of games growing up and I still hold the SNES version as the best game ever. One of the most recognised symbols for the series is of course the triforce, so for the 30th anniversary I made some Zelda stuff, starting off with this triforce headband. More will be added in the upcoming weeks and I hope we will continue to enjoy Zelda games for another 30 years =)

Space invaders headband

Time flies when you're having fun. This is actually the 10th pattern I've published (on Ravelry) since I started knitting a couple on months ago. Didn't really expect on keeping this pace, but I really enjoy the relaxation in knitting combined with watching TV-series, movies or (E-)sports.

Creating my own patterns instead of knitting existing ones is also a nice outlet for some of my creativity.

I also passed 100 downloads for one of my patterns (the curly bracket mittens) which also is amazing.

I'll keep posting new patterns for a while longer while I'm still inspired. If you have suggestions or requests for patterns, just contact me and I'll see what I can do.

Pacman and Blinky scarf

Been kind of ill the previous week and actually did not knit anything at all. Fortunately I've been stacking up on patterns to publish for a while so this week I give you the scarf to match the previously published headband with Pacman and Blinky.



This was a really long project for me and it took me almost a month to finish and I'm really happy with the result. It's really warm as it is double layered and with the winter we're having here in Sweden I have not used is as much as I thought, but there'll be more winters...

Space invaders wristband

To create new patterns it is also good to learn some new techniques. Last week I started to play around with double knitting and to keep it simple I started out with a small wristband with a space invader on it. I made two different versions and this is the one I'm most satisfied with and now I have a good idea on how I like to do my double knitting.

I really like the possibility to turn it inside out, keeping the same pattern but with reversed colouring. The finished project is also very warm as the yarn is duplicated and it is likely that I will be using this for future projects when working with only two colours.

The pattern is available for free at Ravelry.

Paradroid mittens

A friend of mine asked me to make short-fingered mittens for him and started pitching ideas on what the pattern should be. He's a big C64-fan so most ideas were based on that. He finally settled on the robots from Paradroid. As I'm mostly a Nintendo-guy I had little knowledge about this game, but after some googling and discussions we came up with a good pattern. After the yarn arrived I completed these in record-time and I'm really satisfied with the outcome of this. My technique is really improving with every new thing I knit.
