The ww1 vest is done!!! It's... too small, even blocked and with me wearing a binder. 😅 I might give it away to someone smallest than me. Pics as follow: the original picture and pattern, me in binder and then wearing it as a period vest with a skirt. #knitsky #knittingyesterday #ww1

Made some sailor slippers for a friend. Before and after felting. #knitsky #sailorslippers

Update on my ww1 vest for soldiers. It is starting to look like the picture, but it is also very... small? The pattern calls for fingering yarn but I went up a size. Still it looks like it's made for a child. I will finish it and then decide if I'm gonna frog. #knitsky #historicalpatterns

Update: I have tested Lina's sweater outside. It is warm, can deal with wind and even a light drizzle. Not so sure about trick-or-treaters though. #knitsky

This sweater is freehanded and put together will hope, sweat and tears. It's it perfect? No. It's it warm? Very. It is named Lina's sweater after my roleplaying character that wears a sweater just like this when the nights are cold. Yarn: Alafosslopi from Istex
Pattern:None

I mended this poster and bought a frame to it, and I'm so in love with it. It used to belong to my aunt's ex that now have passed. He was a huuuuge Lord of the rings fan and it feels so good to give it space in my apartment.

A trip to the countryside is a reason to dress in knits and vintage! And also chanterelles (trattkantareller in Swedish!) #knitsky

Next up in me doing some historical reenactment knitting: this ww1 vest, knitting pattern from The Red Cross. Just need to get a correctly colored yarn for it (oxford blue). #knitsky

It's blocked and ready! Knit and resist! Bring back the #Motståndsluva #knitsky #nopasaran #knittersagainstfaschism

I hyperfocused and now I'm almost done with my Motståndsluva! Left to do is blocking, weaving in ends and making a tassel. Pics will follow.

Did I frog it twice? Yes. Once because I knitted the wording backwards, and once because I misspelled pasaran 🙃
But I hyperfocused and fixed it, trying to finish my Motståndsluva ASAP ❤️✊

Note to self: when knitting letters, remember you knit in the other direction than you read. 🤡 #knitsky #frogit

Let's bring back the Motståndsluva! According to the description this red winter beanie was knit by Norwegians during the German occupation during WW2, and thus got banned. Knit and resist racism and fascism ✊I can translate to English for those interested! #knitsky #knittersagainstfascism

I couldn't find my knitting needles in the chaos after moving, so I made a cosy autumn shawl instead.
Yarn: Norsk Ullgarn Troll

Doneee
I have even tried it on an outing. The lining got fucked up, but for a first try with steeking, I'm ok with it. #knitsky
August 16, 2025 at 9:02 PM
Almost there... 1/2 sleeve, steek and ribbing front left. This was also meant as a stash buster, but I just had go go buy more dark grey. 😅 #knitsky #strandedcolorwork #folksy

I would 100% watch a spinoff with these two idiots creating chaos. I love them so much.
Loki: "You're not in love with me, are you?"
Puck:"Not at the moment."
These are the shape-shifting queer villains we all need. Spinoff please.

Left to do: Steeking, ribbing with button holes, sleeves. But it's starting to look like a cardigan! #knitsky

1. This is a bit of a re-post, but I realized that's it's about one year ago I started knitting. It was all because of my great aunt Karin that used to knit Icelandic style sweaters for everyone in the family. We called them Karin sweaters. And suddenly I wanted to knit my own. So I did.
