I design knitting patterns in 7 sizes for easily bored knitters. I live in Sweden and I’m a liberal anti-racist ✊🏽 www.colorwayknits.com ColorwayKnits on Ravelry.

Noooo, I just found a good reply 😇 feel free to reuse it 😎
Hehe, yes, my standard reply is ”oh I don’t take on orders, but I know others who do, would you like me to help you get a quotation?”. This way I sound helpful but what I make them understand is that this is tedious professional work that will set them back an amount similar to any other handiwork 💪🏽
Normally I only like it when it’s someone I really love. It annoys me tremendously when an acquaintance just assumes that I have nothing better to do than to work for them for free.
Finished my testknit of Backstage Romance by the always brilliant Melanie Berg last weekend 🥰 I can highly recommend 🧶❤️

Out of the blue my 15-year-old daughter asked me for a sweater 😮 This has never happened before in spite of my offering to do it quite often. This is the design we made together 🥰🧶

Pattern release for my Sunset on the Danube top! Here are some of my beautiful testers and in this test round 100% finished on time 😄🧶 I take it as a sign that the pattern is engaging and attainable.

When you want to wear a summer top but it’s just too cold.
These are my two versions of the Sunset on the Danube top, pattern release within a few days.

Whoever invented the tubular bindoff needs a good spanking. That’s all, good night. 🧶

Test knitting call! My Friendly robot sweater is now out for testing on Yarnpond. It’s a combination of #alafosslopi and #malabrigorios that becomes the perfect autumn coziness 🧶
Deadline is 31 January.

When I was in France recently I ran out of yarn and had to make a panic purchase. The LYS that I found was a wee bit depressing but in the end I opted for this yarn and it’s actually quite nice when in use 🧶👍🏽 It’s Rico Fashion cotton alpaca fun neps. It will become a vest. #knittingdesign
I’m not the only one who appreciates the wonders of Icelandic wool 🧶this time of year 😍 This cardi was my first prototype that later became Gunhild’s cardigan (available on Ravelry).

Or simply Friendly robot sweater 🤓
This warm lovely sweater will be up for testing in 1-2 weeks, but what should I call it? It's made from Alafosslopi in linen stitch and Malabrigo Rios in ribbing.

Intermediate blocking of a cabled sweater made from a yarn that is new to me. I’m hopeful it will fit but I realize now this is a very big swatch 🧶😬

I think this is the most amazing crochet project I have ever seen 😍
That was the intention, yes 👍🏽
Do these count as socks for #showmeyourknits sock week? At least they are the cutest footwear I ever made 👶🧶

It looks like the colorful ”leaves” are not part of the original knitting pattern but sewn on afterwards.
Tack! Ja den är guld när det kryper under 8.
