Random stuff.

Hello there! My name is Sofie, I'm 19 years old and I'm from Norway. I've started this blog because I felt like my deviantart didn't really suit my taste. On here I can really go into detail about my projects, like how I knit/crochet them, how I sow them together and all of that. I think I also want to do small reviews and maybe posts about one type of technique. I am also trying to learn needlebinding at the moment, so maybe I'll update about that on here too :)

So here's just some random projects that I'm working on at the moment:

I made this one right before halloween, I actually used as a part of my costume.

 I’ve almost finished this one, the only thing that remains is to sow it together with the Kitchener stitch, trim and crochet the edges and then steam it. I don’t know if I want to make the tassels. Maybe I’ll sell it it on ebay, or maybe save it as a gift when someone in my family get’s children.

Ps. The steeking part was very easy, especially if you have a sowing machine. Trust me, I’ve steeked bigger things before, and this was a piece of cake. It’s a nice learning project if you’ve never done a steek before.

This actually my third attempt on this jacket, and hopefully it will be a success this time. I’m knitting the sleeves first, because it’s soooo boring to knit sleeves, they are just the same all the way D: So hopefully I can soon get started on the body of the jacket. I’ve also chosen a different colour combination, which I think is going to look more traditional and better. I’m not sure if I want to get buttons or hooks for the jacket, I just have to see how big/tight it will get and then I’ll figure it out.

I’ve started this project not long ago, it’s a very nice project which I go to if I need a brake from knitting, and I’ve also really gotten the hang of making trebles, so it’s not such a pain anymore(it is actually really important to know which way you do you YO’s, maybe I'll make a post about that later). I think this is going to be quite a large collar, but I don’t really mind because I was planning to sow it onto a black Victorian styled dress I have. It’s not something I plan on wearing daily.
