If you want one don’t wait too long! Getting everything that isn’t sold back from Utrecht this weekend and will be putting it all in my Etsy next month as I’m really busy with the advent calendar and we want to ship them as early as possible for the internation buyers.

If you put two indie dyers together you can just be sure about it, magic happens! At least that is what happens when you put the amazing Petra from Undercover Otter in the same room as me! Together we came up with a super awesome collaboration in the form of an Advent Calendar. And of course it’s not Christmas yet, but since it’s all handmade and Santa and his helpers have to make sure it gets to you in time, we have to start thinking about it now! This is a great treat to yourself, you will get 1 gift every day from December 1st until Christmas eve, and a bit more because we just like to spoil you! This package will contain at least: 8* 10 gram fingering weight mini’s hand dyed by the super awesome Undercover Otter 8* 10 gram fingering weight mini’s hand dyed by the amazing Kralalien of Colourful Creativity and 8* super cute and ultra handy thingymajigs and notions every knitter and crocheter needs or wants!

Regelmatig krijg ik de vraag waarom ik toch die leuke dingetjes in mijn breiwerk heb hangen en wat het zijn?! Het zijn dus steekmarkeerders en ze helpen me met heel veel dingen. Neem bijvoorbeeld dit breiwerk, Trees. Ze heeft wel 3 steekmarkeerders! En soms zitten ze alle 3 ook nog eens bijna op dezelfde steek… beetje overdadig, of toch niet? Frequently I get asked why I have those cute thingies in my knit projects and what they are?! They are stitch markers and help me in many ways. For instances in this project, Trees. She has 3 stitch markers! And sometimes all 3 of them they are in almost the same stitch… a bit much, or not? Niet dus! Want ze dienen allemaal hun eigen doel. De eerste, met de twee ringetjes zit om de rondbreinaald zelf. Deze zorgt ervoor dat ik precies weet wanneer ik een volledig rondje heb gebreid. Bij rondbreien zie je namelijk heel moeilijk wat de eerste steek ik en als die markeerder er niet zou zitten, dan zou ik echt niet weten waar ik zou zijn in mijn breiwerk.

This is episode 19 and there has been a lot of knitting in the sun 🙂 I show you my garden and had a little oops with my camera so I had to re-record a part. The cats are also enjoying the sun and I give you a little tour of my garden.
