African flower

Sitting on the lawn with a bunch of my big family. And some African flowers poppy style.

Slip stich iPhone headset

So I got myself a new iPhone. And a new headset came with it. You all know what a nuisance it is when the cords get tangled, so I was planning to do what I always do, namely knit them in with an i-cord. A very time consuming business.

Some weeks ago I saw that someone had single crocheted the cord, and that is so much easier. But not very neat. So after having tried the i-cord (gave up directly – no time) and the single crochet (too bulky and uneven) i came up with the slip stitch solution.

One slip stitch over the cord and one under – and crochet away! Very slim and nice. And it took me 30 minutes tops.

Edit's little brown cardigan

I finally managed to complete an upside-down sweater for little Edit, now two months old. The last one was the size of a doll sweater. And this one I have knitted twice. The first time I made it for an 18 month's toddler.


The yarn is Drops Paris, color 44, and the lovely buttons are Panduro's Fabric buttons (rand/rut röd). They come in many different colors and fabrics.


I started out from the neck with 60 stitches, 6 for the arms, 20 for the back and 9 + 9 for the front. I added a crocheted edging for stability.


I really hope I will get permission to publish a photo with beautiful, lovely Edit wearing it. Can I? Can I please?

Tangle free

At last I figured out what to do to keep my headphones untangled.


A tiny crocheted belt does the trick! Lucky me!

Crocheted flowers

I spent the evening crocheting some small flowers for broches (is that even an English word?) or maybe rings.


The smallest one my daughter wants for a ring.
